POINT

Yesterday just when I was about to sleep memories of class 12 physics book flashed in my mind and I was reminded of ray optics. I was thinking of converging and diverging rays. Suddenly I got stuck to something that was common to both the converging rays and the diverging rays; yes I am talking about the POINT.

The same point can be a source of light and the same point can be the point of illumination. Next I started wondering about the implications of this concept in our everyday life. I came up with the following three before falling asleep…

1. The mistake that we commit today is the point of illumination and is visible to everyone; but sometime later the same point will become the source of illumination guiding us and many others. After all light is for everyone.

2. The point is the same but the way in which it is perceived changes. You may be perceived right one time and wrong the next time. You can be the point of interference or point of divergence. It is all perception.

3. There is no Point in the POINT. The point itself is round.

Now that I have realized there is no point in any point, what is the point in talking about the point? Instead let’s talk about light ….
