we view life as Kaleidoscopic patterns

What is a Kaleidoscope [n.] - An instrument invented by Sir David Brewster, which contains loose fragments of colored glass, etc., and reflecting surfaces so arranged that changes of position exhibit its contents in an endless variety of beautiful colors and symmetrical forms.

Well, if this is the case how can life be a Kaleidoscope? So I re fabricate the statement to lifes situations could be Kaleidoscopic. ( How is that) What I am gunning at is the fact that our reactions to situations in life are purely a consorted interplay between different attributes which I would compare to the four mirrors of a Kaleidoscope and those vala pottukal.

The attributes according to me which forms the three mirrors on the side in a physical Kaleidoscope would be the internal factors which are

Your level of Intelligence ( IQ)
Emotional quotient (EQ)
How u want to see the situation


The pieces of coloured glass according to me are the external factors which play in that situation. These are usually people that constitute the situation.

The all important 4th mirror which is placed perpendicular to the other mirrors which gives out the final output takes its feed from how the external situation ( coloured glass) reflects on the internal factors ( the 3 mirrors) . The output you see is your Kaleidoscopic pattern. This pattern will change from person to person as all might have varying internal factors and with the same person at different points in time because they might want to see the situation differently at different points in time and because of different emotional states

Now what happens when we rotate the Kaleidoscope?

Once we tilt the position of the Kaleidoscope taking into consideration what we see in the output mirror for that situation, the external factors( Coloured glass) also take different positions. Now that is a new situation which we analyse again using the 3 mirrors and getting the output through the fourth mirror.

What is important is that when we tilt the scope thinking that the situation is favourable and judge the external factors favourably, the external factors when they look into their scope ( here you are an external factor) you will also be judged favourably leading to a win win situation. On the other hand when you were to judge another unfavourably its more likely to lead to a conflict.
