Black Swan
A search for perfection!
One has an idea of who he wants to be and sets out on a journey in an attempt to be.
More often than not, one is not who he wants to be, yet struggles to be.
The struggle to be poses more challenges than he hoped there to be.
Over many a rock, trench, wood and damn, light, he hopes to see.
En route, many a man, in light, one does see.
Men who travelled another path, one he did not see.
Paths with lesser rock and trench, known to him to be.
Changes path, one does, in hope, light, to see.
Comes back to the erstwhile path, one does, for he no longer is, who he wants to be.
Who he shall be, one shall see.

Adhocism vs Structure!
One finds that innovation, radical thought processes, etc work far batter in a system of adhocism as opposed to one with structure. Age teaches you that consistency is better maintained through structure.
Man is inherently adhoc! Man's creations are structured to facilitate culture and well-being of all! What then happens to man? As one ages, man tends to align himself to his own creations by building in structure into himself.
This transformation causes a change in the entire life style of the person. It is therefore obvious that man, in general, becomes more serious and loses his "childishness".
This is often noticed even in the kind of music that one listens to!
There might be another reason to the change in musical inclinations. It might also be attributed to the fact that the more music one listens to, one's musical inclinations also change. From pop to rock to progressive to classical to jazz to carnatic and what not!

The stone is as true as what it stands for!
There have been millions of those so called "unconventionals" who believe that effigy worship must be eradicated and call it a bane to the world as the stone hides the truth that it stands for!
But the fundamental reason for the existence of the stone is that the need for it exists. Not everyone can understand what the great Vedas say! But order needs to be imparted on earth. How then would it be possible! The only logical conclusion would be a certain level of abstraction. Abstraction, for the uninitiated, means that only enough information is supplied that is absolutely necessary. The rest of the information is available on request only.
What that facilitates is effective functioning of systems without the need to understand how the system functions. But one would find that to be able to make best use of the system, you would have to know how it functions, hence one takes some extra effort to find out the nitty gritty. With some difficulty, he does figure out a certain information set that he can leverage to his advantage!
The parallel drawn involves the effigy that represents the abstractions and the underlying truth of the Vedas that requires the extra effort to understand!
