The little Idea(s) that could
May 13th, 2009 by Niko de Lyko
It is remarkable to observe how can the simplest of ideas (”self-evident” insights to which their consciousness had not allowed a chance) radically transform the life of the human/s that it mightily might touch.
The shop-owner who buys his India-made Indian stuff from his friendly Indian-stuff-supplier for example, can deduct that the latter’s costs, by virtue of all profit laws, are necessarily lower than that the price that the former pays him; but still, not having been to India himself, he could not even approstimate (sic) how much lower. But then let’s say a traveller just happens to drop by, a traveller friendlily disposed towards the good shopkeeper, a traveller moreover that has lived most happily in India, and lets him in on that how much, the verification of which sets the shop-keeper’s head spinning, changing a decades-old, most solid life-pattern.
For, by virtue of this new insight, he must now take initiative and regular trips to India, and live a touch more happily ever after.
And there you have it, a simple example of how the simplest of one’s discoveries, given the chance, can turn one’s life around.
Not to touch upon discoveries of, for example, Continents, which had been there, wise men tell us, long before discovered, and suchlike things as Gravity, or R&D NA.
