Consistency

It is hard to maintain consistency. My blog is called DAILY, which means i try to write something every single day. Actually, the idea to make this blog came almost at the end of the last academic semester when I took the "Ecology of Knowledge" class. That class was among my most favorite classes because we learned to think about the difference sources from which people get the knowledge. I just thought about that class and I was wondering if the class could actually use the Bible (or other religious books?) among the reading lists. But the problem was, of course, separation of church and state. That was too bad because in the Bible or possibly other "religious books," we would find sources of knowledge, some of which possibly said way before "science" stated what was called as truth.

I just found out, for example, how "matrix of existence" in science states that what forms existence are time, force, action, space, and matter. Well, the Bible starts with "In the beginning (time), God (force) created (action) the heavens (space) and the earth (matter)." Another thing is hydrological cycle - that Wikipedia simplifies as the movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Well, Job 36:27-29 say:
He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams;
the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.
Who can understand how he spreads the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?



So, in short, there are sources of knowledge from what's so called "religious" texts that actually would be interested to use as sources to understand where knowledge comes from. People always talk about how science contradicts religions, the biggest thing being evolution, probably. I think it would be interesting to see how science and religions intersect in these texts.

Well, anyway, Ecology of Knowledge put in me the love (and urgency) of writing. And with the cheering of a couple of friends, DAILY i.e. note on beauty is here. Sometimes I feel that I have no ideas whatsoever to write, just like today. But because of commitment (and ashamed if there are many blanks in the "DAILY" blog), then I just decide to sit in front of the computer and write. And here comes the writing.

That makes me think of how hard it is to maintain consistency in work, study, relationships, and marriage -something that my friend back home and I have been discussing a lot lately. She just wrote a story about a marriage turning bland and sour for the lack of consistency in loving (or is it actually because there is too much forced consistency??) Hey, so, is consistency needed? What is consistency after all? Is consistency equal with continuity, habit, tradition?
I'm thinking... and so this blog can be long. Let me think the rest of it by myself. Have a good day or evening, depending on where you are :)

--again, dedicated for SRK.


And by the way, one of the homework in Ecology of Knowledge was to "solve" this coded message. If anyone wants to try, please. :)
