Musings

Principles are simple, but contexts aren’t.ย  Recognizing context-driven variables is a superpower in and of itself.ย  Channeling principles so they address those variables in a functional manner…

I believe at that point you start to embody wisdom, rather than spending long, frustrating hours trying to puzzle it out.

    I had to read it carefully three times to get it, but once I did it was so satisfying. Well said and so true! I can relate

  2. I am puzzled about “principles,” and “context” in this muse. Often context is composed of principles. Gravity is built into our context. What principles can be added? Physics, chemistry, electromagnetics, make up our context and have many “principles,” or “laws.” Could you clarify?

    1. Principles and contexts here are in the vein of human nature. “Be kind to others,” would be a principle. The workplace would be a context.

  4. I am going to reword this to where I can process it better. If a principle is a belief and the context is other people and their beliefs, then recognizing that each person has their own principles would be an amazing feat in and of itself. the ability then to channel your own principles in a way that relates to all of the others โ€ฆ.. would require a fundamental understanding of your own principles including why you carry that principle in the first place. I also believe that with practice we can shorten this distance between our own questions and answers, this could be seen as becoming wise or embodying Wisdom.

    Functional perspectives.
    What perspectives matter in a given perspective? or rather whose perspective?
    Principles are anchors which can offer glimpse of a given perspective, give it a structure.

  6. In my country, we’re encouraged to adapt our house to our neighborhood instead of trying to adapt our neighborhood to our house.

    1. Sounds much easier, and more practical as well. ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. It was meant as an aphorism upon your adagio to put principle above context.

      2. I know; my response was phrased with that in mind.
