backpack analysis

Backpack analysis 1.0
I remember my child hood once when I was walking on the east coast with my girl friend, she was collecting all the seashells which she liked at first sight and was trying to gather in her hand after some more steps she told me to put in to her chunni when hand was not enough, she wanted one after another into her chunni , but at some point she was unable to carry the Wight of the seashells that she collected. So she stops for a moment and she sorted out the shells and throw whatever she didn’t like that moment, where as those were the shells the she liked some point time in past. The emotion behind was not get done with the rest of shells, actually she looked at some more beautiful shells that she wanted to collect and the Weight was not bearable so she decided to re-prioritize the shells

That was our child hood and we were not enough philosophical as we are now, I believe that we, means all human do the same thing for our whole life Carrying a back pack we born with some back pack items like relatives and then you walk for a life. You started your life with affection to the outer world that includes bicycle, toys, music CDs, and new dresses, further more with cellophane, bikes friends, girl friends/boyfriends, cars etc. And the moment you realize that your bag is too heavy & your shoulder is not having enough strength. You stop for a moment take out your back pack and try reshuffle it you try to priorities with your new situation and whatever which is not in priority list, u just throw in to garbage

Backpack analysis 1.1

After backpack analysis 1.0 further to address key issue like classifying the items, either the item will be materials or human in both the contexts the only common thing is attachment with material or human. However you can remove the materials from the backpack but for human we carry the relations, so as to remove the attachment, indeed the relationships. When the backpack got too heavy with relations people follow the path of philosophy that discussed in the movie “up in the air” and they try to empty their backpack,

*thing=relationship

We choose to drop the things in to the river with all our gratitude to that and walked. But if the thing was too heavy it sinks to the bottom and remains there till when the draught will come and it will again visible to you, where as we thought that it would flow with the stream so as we will get healing soon, the wounds is on our shoulder because of straps. We always act with this assumption that thing is not that heavy so as it will not remain sinking. Some of us leave/drop the things on the side by the river and hire a powerboat to find new place. But may possible this time flood comes and the thing flows with the stream and somehow has new destination, which may close to us and again visible to the things. Probably that’s why we choose to go upstream, and that’s how we reduce the weight of our back pack
