science of thinking..!!!2 (Murphy's Law)

Book Abstract by: gautam90    

Original Author: Richard Robinson
This article is in continuation of science of thinking…!!!1. So readers are advised to read the first part before
for better understanding of the topic.
he next step involves making connections. In chapter 4, the pieces of jigsaw are put together. Here the chances of Murphy’s Law striking us down increases logarithmically, because we are criminally bad at putting our puzzle together correctly. At this point it becomes clear that there is a big difference between our mental jigsaw and wooden one. Wooden one fit correctly only in one way; the brain jigsaw seems to be infinitely bendy, as if made up of jelly. So if 2 facts don’t go together, they can easily be twisted be twisted and punched until they do.Although we have put are puzzle together, it’s not over yet.
The jigsaw and all around it is flowing with a thick, seething, electric sauce – the emotions. Chapter 5 studies what different emotions make. This is not just about the grand passion – love, hate, fear- but about whole spectrum, from the first yearning kiss to the 99th yawn. Nothing, but nothing, is free from emotions. Research with modern brain scanning techniques has demonstrated that when your eyes first light on something, the first thing we do is (and it happens so quickly and so unconsciously that we are not aware of it) is check if we should run away from it. It seems absurd to imagine but it is the truth.. The state of our passions governs how we see, and what we see, and sometimes make us see things strangely.
chapter 6 is the social one. Many of the Murphy’s Law applies when we are in company. It is despair of psychological researchers that people are completely different in groups to how they are alone. Thoroughly domesticated human beings will go to a football match on or off for a weekend paint balling wit a group and be transformed into screaming, murderous, eye ball popping life from un recognizable to their families. People can make u believe the most extraordinary things when they are caught up in a crowd – this of course is the bedrock of politics.
In chapter 7 we see what can happen when the proper processes of piecing together the world are turned upside down. The resulting tragedy is all too frequently played out in different forms around the world.
Finally in chapter 8 we look at the inanimate world, and discover how much animation we impose on it. I hope u will find answer to some of life’s mysteries here. You may find answers where u didn’t know there were questions. Murphy’s Law will ensure that I think of several important things I forgot to mention the day after uploading this article.
