Circle of life

Me-t-1: I love Rajini movies. I whistle because it is fun and people around me are whistling too. Awesome thalaivar
Me-t0: How shameless this whole tamil movie industry is? Some oldie is running around the tree with girl.
Look at Hollywood, they are awesome, Reasonable.
Me-t+1: Hey what is not to like about Rajini movies? It is cult classic in the same mould as star wars. Why should
entertainment be intellectual? Hollywood is just a glorified Bollywood

This is just one of the thought processes. Almost every aspect of life my thoughts go through this cycle. Accepting something at one level and going to other end (or different view point) and swinging back to the old view point OR aligning with the old view point with different rationalization.

Another good example is cultural values (esp. Indian values). Treating Indian values as the greatest thing long back (and bashing "floating" American values) and standing by American individualistic values for a period of time and rethinking whether family ties (group) may be better for my way of life etc.

With every transition back to older (almost opposite) view point, even with proper rationalization, it feels like a hypo critic thing to do. But still I do it.

May be maturing is nothing but finding this multi layer nature of life!
