Dear friend max();

We’ve all ready talked about reductionism in the field of science and it’s consequences to the acquisition of deeper insight of physical and spiritual reality.

Well this can be applied to the desperate search for a meaning in life too.

People are inclined to observe the small thinks as isolated from the context. They try to become rich as possible, making a big career or make themselves a big name.

The problem in searching meaning of life and the research in science has similar roots. Reducing the problem or the subject to it’s smallest part it loose it’s meaning. There is no sense in accumulating money if you cannot use it for the well of other people and there is no sense in observing a atom without considering the surrounding complexity.

Let me make a example:
A language is used to transport meaning from one consciousness to an other. The meaning is coded in information and the smallest information unit is a bit (0/1).

Translated in XML it would look like this:

<truth>
<meaning>
<context>
<information>
<bit>1</bit>
<bit>0</bit>
<bit>0</bit>
<bit>1</bit>
<bit>0</bit>
<bit>1</bit>
<bit>1</bit>
<bit>1</bit>
</information>
</context>
</meaning>
</truth>

If we take the single 1 without the other parts and the bigger context, the meaning is not manifest.
And without the meaning the truth is not recognized!

With other words, we need to take some time to zoom out for seeing the whole and not only the particle.
