Complexity of our brain or limitation of the language??




Humans sometimes gets stuck with emotions which become inexpressible to his fellow human being. Maybe there are many reasons to it. It is said that humans have nearly 100 billion neurons in our brain that is roughly equal to the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy . That’s a huge number which numbs our imaginations to quantify it in terms of number of zeroes after the 1 in 100 billion. That maybe one of the reasons why humans could not express the emotions. Emotions are electrical signals flowing through this neurons  and each neuron is connected to nearly 40,000 other neurons . Looking the number of permutation and combination that can be made with this, its many , infinitely many .

Maybe it is because of  how the wheel of evolution turned.The difference in which the language came into existence, homo sapiens came into existence nearly 200,000 years ago .And when compared to the origin of communication there is a gap , that can also be one of other reason .

But there are also other deliberate reasons; our fellow human might try not to understand each other. Like the gap between arises when one fight with other human, they deliberately try not to understand the other rather make him/her to understand us, because deep down we want to be heard than listen. But there is a key that can bridge this gap of communication or expression of emotion, it is coined as compassion. Compassion is like borrowing our fellow being’s shoes so that we can walk with to understand or have glimpse of how him/her perceive their world. There are also things cannot be translated from one language to other, like the word wabi-sabi . It is a Japanese word meaning ‘the beauty in imperfections ‘but there is no perfect translation in English language.  Maybe in English there is no beauty in imperfection so to express such an emotion we have to borrow word from Japanese. Like that its evident there are many emotions that is missing in one language but found in other. Language might have like that restricted our emotions, but it is not a barrier to understand each other. There is a neuron called Mirror neuron which helps us to understand the emotions of the fellow human beings.
If all of us could understand each other with absolute purity of emotions that comes straight from the human heart , the world would have been beautiful. There won’t be many wars even. But the complexity of human brain such that many things are deliberately ignored , as big as between  two nations to two people like couples , which all can be understand with compassion .

Look and Key


  
One day a boy found a lock . It was just the lock, there was no key to it. He has never seen it before. It was a unique lock. He tried to open it up with different keys of other lock. It didn't open. He became angry and try to break up the lock. It didn't work. So, he went to so many places with that lock to find a key to it. He asked some people about it ,no one has seen it before either. Some said it is not to be opened. Some said may be it should not be opened. But he had a feeling with himself that it can be opened. And he met a key maker in his quest to find the key to that lock. The key maker told him ,it's a very unique lock. And gave him some metal piece and asked him to look into the lock and try to understand how it works. Then try to make a key by yourself to open this lock. He started observing the lock and tried to make different keys out of the metal piece slowly engraving each with different combinations . Eventually he arrived at  different keys which he thought might
 unlock it . But it was not unlocking it. Every attempt made him tempt not to try more, but the ferocity of not giving up made him to persevere to make the next combination of the key. And at last he was left with one metal piece. He made a key out of it. He was afraid  to put the last  ke in that lock. The fear was if it doesn't fit, and so he kept looking at the key . His thoughts wander like a slow breeze in the forest. It touched everything it found on its way like the seeds of doubts, the bark of the strong  failures and the beautiful deceiving flowers of procrastination. But nothing forced him to put the key in the lock.
And finally  he gathered all his strength and put the key in the small lock. And tried to turn it. He was all ears for the small click of sound which opened it.... And harder he turned it...

An astrophysical comparison of my problem !!!




             I have a problem . How big is it? I don’t know. Maybe big as I am or maybe big as my house or my place or my country. Let me think bigger it is as big as earth . that’s  a 12,756 km diameter sphere. Yes that’s how big is my problem. But how big is earth?

           
          Jupiter has diameter of 1,42,800 km and it means its roughly 1300 times bigger than earth . So 1300 earth can make a Jupiter. And Sun has a diameter of 1392000 km , wow , that means nearly 1300000 earths make up the Sun.



             When I kept on searching about size of sun I came upon a star named Arcturus. How big is it? It has a diameter of 35.7 million km ie 25.7 times larger than sun. And at that point our Jupiter will be of the size of a pixel. Now pixel is a tiny dot in the screen of PCs or mobile phones. So if Jupiter is just a tiny dot in the screen of our mobile , where is earth . it’s not even visible . And again there is another star names Antares, when we compare sun to it , sun is a pixel. That means roughly 1900 times the radius of sun.

             

              And on 3rd September , 2003 Hubble telescope began poiting to an area nearly one tenth the size of moon for 4 months. And this what Hubble telescope saw.






Our galaxy is roughly 950,000,000,000,000,000 km in diameter(1,00,000 light years). The picture Hubble Telescope took has 10,000 galaxies. And each galaxy has its own stars and planets. And i don't know how to even compare that since i don't know how many zeroes are there after the digit to measure.
So where is my problem that was as big as my Earth. I don't know. I think i don't have any problem now or maybe my problem is something else now :P.
