I met two kinds of people in this world;
One who are certain with life and say “we control our own destiny”
And the other say “In·shal·lah” ;
But, there is a third genre, who cry “Black Swan it is..”
What is a Black Swan ?
An Unknown Unknown to human realm of knowledge,
An event, so rare, that we expected, only happens once in million years
As it arrives, It will change the entire course of History
Harry Potter, Facebook
Google, 9/11 Attack,
iPad, Great Depression,
First World War, Internet
Before their inception, literally no one was able to predict their entry
We are all puppets to its strings
Shakespeare once said, All the world is a Stage;
Today, Modernity would say, All the world is in a Chaotic Stage;
More the Black Swans, More the Chaos
for Internet that emerged Social Media and broke Governments
for 9/11 attack that raised War against fundamentalists
Whatever it is,
These Swans stand as a Reminder, that we better not take serious with ‘what we know’ ;
As we never know, what next, can fracture our Induction
And make us all into Turkeys, on one fine Thanksgiving Day !
