God, a smart developer

This post is about thoughts of 2 teenage girls , 2 elder women ,  and how god smartly kept us imperfect.
hope you enjoy :) :


Today at starbucks , in front of me where sitting 2 teenager girls.One black and other Mexican.The black girl was talking about someone who was being racist to her.She was explaining how some actions meant he was being racist , this means this, this is how it should be, this is wrong, why all this has to be like this. I put on ear buds and started to listen to my iPod. Didn't want the negative wibes to spoil my evening. Afterall I had cut short my gym to be there to enjoy the beautiful evening. Having put on my music, I was not able to hear them but could not ignore reading their faces. They were being so typical teenagers. Trying to understand the world, relationships of love and frindships, trying to figure out how it should be , how it should not be , trying to figure out events,personalities ,getting angry, frustrated,emotional and all .

On a other table were sitting two ladies. Age looked like something around 35.They were talking something slowly in low voice. They looked like having a casual talk.As compared to the teenagers they looked so uncurious about world.The maturity had bought understanding of life, a understanding that there will be all sorts of people , all sorts of events , life won't be perfect , everything cannot be right, that we have to accept life the way it is, accept people the way they are , accept things the way they are and try to make your way out of it rather than questioning it and wanting to change it.

These two thoughts on two tables across me. The difference was only because of lack of knowledge . Knowledge which comes over years of expierience.Being a IT guy , i look at it in terms of its data.If the teenagers had same set of data as the elder women on other table, they would have been there seating peacefully enjoying the evening over coffe and I would not have had to put on my iPod and type this blog. Thought if i could do some engineering here.If I could extract the data about acceptability of life  from the elder womens mind and then FTP(transfer) that data into the brains of the teenagers.But then a trade secret among software developers is not to develop the perfect software, as only then there will be need for engineers to fix bugs , maintainces patches , support calls .If they develop perfect software then  the very developer will be out of buisness soon :) . God,the developer of human being,made us imperfect so that when trouble comes we call him for support,fixing issues etc. If we were perfect , we would not need god and  he would have been out of buisness soon.God u r a smart developer, just like me :)
