I am having a tough time getting sleep. Probably its the caffeine effect or it is because of some unanswered questions. But they were answered! Were they? No. But why?

Grady Booch once said that the problem with raising the level of abstraction very high is that it becomes difficult to debug problems at lower levels, this applies to not just a computer program but to life as well. We are talking here only of mortals. Philosophy, like any theoretical science can only talk in abstract terms. Yes, Jiddu is a different kind of philosopher, a very different kind indeed. Infact he was questioning this very act of theorizing and abstraction. But how different is sensitivity from any other approach? Is it another kind of abstraction? I don't know. I probably haven't understood it completely. Can a mediocre understand any of these philosophies and truely apply them in a day to day life.

It appears like there can be only two outcomes to this scenario. Either, give up the fight or continue the struggle giving in during the process. For now though, I can see a third option, try to catch some sleep.
