There has been an ongoing everlasting debate on the philosophical thought that “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound ?”. The internet is full of all sorts of theories regarding this question. I truly believe that yes it does make a sound, it’s just that there is no one there to hear or react to it.
Sometimes I feel as though I am like that tree. I make the noise, but no one is there to hear it.
Philosophically speaking, if I am not there even if there is noise for me it is nonexistent. Even if I am there I may not be tuned in to listen. Most of the time the same happens to us in our lives. People may not be tuned in to listen what we say.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on this Abhijit..most times people are just not tuned in to hear or understand what the other may be saying or expressing..:)
ReplyDeleteI go with Abhijit above. Without a perceiver, existence has no meaning.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that too :)
DeleteThank heavens I don't make noise as there's no one there to hear!

ReplyDeleteधन्यवाद !
Thank you once again Yash Ji :)
DeleteWell as in case of humans, I feel they do hear you but at the wrong times...just when you don't want them to hear you!
ReplyDeleteLol Vinodini I couldn't agree more :))
DeleteWell , on one hand ,our existence , happiness and sorrow depend largely on people around us...but on the other hand ,why not enjoy life for life's sake only ? Why giving so much importance to others ? make noise to relieve the pressure you've on your mind and be happy... :-)
ReplyDeleteWell said Maniparna..:)
Deleteat times...u have to shout..try that..:-P
ReplyDeleteI certainly feel like doing that at times :P
DeleteA very philosophical thought...What difference does it make to a fallen tree whether one hears its sound or not.
