Things I like

Things that most people around me seem to like but I don't:

• Going out at night to drink alcohol and listen to too loud music.
  
• Watching football.
• Driving a car.
  
• Living in a fixed place.
• Going downhill (take the easy path).

What I like to do instead:

• Going out at night to see the stars or the lights of the city from the silence.
• Playing football.
• Walking.
• Living all around the Globe.
• Going uphill (take the difficult path).

I had to look for a new Label to tag this post with. At first I thought about something like "Personal" but then I realized that there could be future posts similar to this one where "Personal" wouldn't fit. In the end I decided to use "Thoughts". But the point is that the whole Label-hunting thing reminded me a lot of a "thinking pattern" that I repeat unconsciously all the time: the search for an abstraction. For instance, in object-oriented programming you always try to start from a very abstract class and then decompose it by inheritance into more specific ones. I'm learning C# at the moment and there is a very abstract class there, the root of all the classes, whose name is System.Object. It is an elegant and a very small class (I confess that I understood the meaning when I compared it to void * in C). Yes, it's small, but its the roots of the whole system and if it fails the whole system fails.
Final note: I realized that I started talking about programming so I extended my Thoughts class with the Technology interface ;P.
