A is just an image of A and so it is of B C D or E

by Ashok Sharda

A is just an image of A and so it is of B C D or E    

 

 

What A means to A

Is not

What A means to B

Nor it means

What it means to C D or E

 

If A means B

B is A

If A means C

C is A

If A means D or E

A is either D or E

 

But A is A

For what represents A

Though it is not

What it means to B C D or E

 

A claims

A is A

, Cause what A see

As A is A to A

And so claims B C D or E

‘, Cause what B C D or E see

As A is A to B C D or E

 

A is an image of A

And so is A

An image of B C D or E.

Ashok, as always, you cut right to the core of it all... I can only say "amen" and you speak the truth.

*softly smiling* yes... images, reflections. Reminds me of one of our earliest discussions I am looking back to see if you are looking back to see if I am looking back to see if you are looking back at me. We are all images of each other.

Thought provoking combination of philosophy and physics, Ashok, or should I call you Bshok, or maybe Cshok, Dshok, or better Eshok??? :o)

I absolutely love this poem, along with They Know K Is Not K.

This does seem to be about identity, perceived by others and ourselves. Perceptions aren't my strong point, but this one using familiar concepts and images makes for a thought provoking read! Congrats on making top 10(again!)
