		<description><![CDATA[Buddhism from a programming perspective. VGP (Very Geeky Philisophy) certified.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Objects are manifestations of classes,<br />
much like errors are manifestations of a bug.</p>
<p>Software bugs are more similar to problems in our characters than you realize.<br />
From looking at various errors, you can deduce that they stems from a single bug.</p>
<p>Similarly by looking at various bugs, you can deduce that they stems from the same character.<br />
Verily you can tell a lot about a programmer&#8217;s character from the bugs he introduce into his works.</p>
<p>Fix one bug, and you fix all the errors that could stem from it.<br />
Fix one flaw in your character, and you fix all the problems that could manifest from that flaw.</p>
<p>Diligent programmers hunt for bugs to improve the software he&#8217;s working on.<br />
Similarly we should constantly refine our character to improve the life we&#8217;re living atm.</p>
<p>The ignorant programmers asks &#8211; why the trouble?<br />
But the enlightened one would say &#8211; why not?</p>
<p>Working on a Software Project, is like taking a journey.<br />
In a journey, there is a beginning and there is an end.<br />
Some journeys are long, some are short.<br />
Some terminated abruptly, some age and die.</p>
<p>But in all cases, a journey is like a ship sailing in a sea.<br />
Moving towards a destination.</p>
<p>Life is a journey.</p>
<p>But what makes our journey so?<br />
Our lives are manifestations of our characters.<br />
Our characters, manifestations of our beliefs.<br />
Our beliefs == our thoughts manifest.</p>
<p>Therefore the change in our life,<br />
for better or for worse,<br />
begins in our head.</p>
<p>Our thoughts makes our life so.<br />
What begins in our mind, will manifest into reality.</p>
<p>Who determines the success of a Software Project?<br />
Who determines the success of your own life?</p>
<p>Everything begins with a single thought.<br />
The moment the thought is manifest,<br />
your belief, character, and life-possibility of that thread,<br />
is manifest at the same instant.</p>
<p>This is Cause and Effect.<br />
When a cause is made, the effect is bound to it.<br />
At the same instant.</p>
<p>A chain reaction,<br />
we may call it.</p>
<p>Strange, no?<br />
The lessons of life we can learn<br />
from fixing software bugs.</p>
