Power of Metaphysics

Following a leader is one basic instinct we all have. It's not bad especially if the leader is effecting change (e.g. for the better). I say it's an instinctual thing because we are a species that draw strength from numbers. From a metaphysical point of view, following a leader is a natural course because we tend to favor order over chaos. Say throw 20 people in an island, naturally one will become a leader regardless of style. Someone's leadership abilities will surface and will be noticed by the group and before they know it he had been elected to become the de facto leader. Probably someone will think he can do a better job but that's besides the point for now. We are just talking about the instinct of humans to rally behind a leader.  As I have said having a good and effective leader is not bad as that is the model that countries and organizations everywhere adopt now. We have presidents, kings, prime ministers, CEOs and whatever title we give to a figu...

Have you ever been in a situation where there is so much tension in the office and that to survive you have to play the finger-pointing game? Yes, the classic finger-pointing game. Whoever cannot point to the next guy loses. One of the darksides of corporate life is to have a fair share of finger pointing and washing of hands. Let me tell you a scenario, client calls bank and tells the girl on the other line that she wants her check not tendered and be pulled out. Girl on the other end takes down everything but she has to leave now because she has an appointment with her OB Gyne.  But before she left she did relay the client's instructions to the guy on the next cubicle. Guy got hold of the check and put on his desk to be sure it doesn't go with the batch for clearing. He just went out to get coffee. As he went out, another staff saw the check, and saw the date that it is for today. She looks at the clock, "Oh, no! It's near the cut-off time." She ...

I noticed people are a bit uncomfortable when they hear the word metaphysics . It sounds too esoteric--maybe.  Or is it because known meta-physicists (I prefer meta-physicist than meta-physician) are the likes of Albert Einstein or Rene Descartes or Galileo Galilei and other people with just about a surplus of neurons in their brains--yes, genius people.  If I may debunk this thinking that to be a meta-physicist you have to have off-the-charts IQ. Not really. It just so happens them lot can see through the problems they were faced with right at the core and worked their way up from that standpoint. They make sure they know the very root of what's causing the problem and from there find solution or can just explain things better because they know the principle of how things work.  Let's skip how Einstein used metaphysics to arrive at his famous equation as we won't really understand it too but let's have a rather mundane example. Say somebody bought ...
