Rapid Fire!!!

Over dinner, was trying to come up with single word for words that generally came across my mind.

It goes as below

Job – Comfort (gets you into comfort zone)
Money – Crazy (can drive you crazy)
Society – Change (needs change)
Country – Citizens (is build by its citizens)
Hobbies – Choice (are alternate choices)
Life – Creation (is all about creation)
Death – Certain (is certain)
Nature – Cajole (always cajoles its children)
God – Controller (is supreme controller)
Fight – Cause (for a cause)
Friendship – Care (is about care)
Love – Convenience (isn’t it all about convenience?)
Marriage – Compatibility (survives if the persons involved are compatible)
Parents – Compassion (synonymous to compassion)

What comes across your mind? Do get back to me.

@Kavitha
There are no rules. Just write whatever comes to your mind. Anyway, that was an excellent contribution. Thanks a lot

@Ashutosh

Love - Convenience?
Its more like-> Love ---> consequence ( of foolishness )

Job -> Comfort.
Having a job these days gives a sense of comfort! Or do you have a decent boss?

If I juggle some of your pairs ----

Job – Change.
Parents – Controller
Love – Crazy
Friendship – Comfort
Nature – Compassion ( and forgiving )
Money – Cause ( of misery )
Death – Convenience

@Agastya
That reordering looks cool. But I still feel that love is all about convenience

Peace - Strength
War - Tears

Child - Vulnerable

Checked your blog after a long time....very nice articles...keep it going!

Quite a good idea actually. Could keep you thinking for quite a while.

Here is my list, albeit a longgg one.

Life->Puzzle
Love->Unconditional
Luck->Indispensable (factor in success)
Work->Unavoidable (our dreams of retiring early remain just that - dreams)
God->Myth (But very real in minds)
Art->Quality
Mother->Priceless
Society->Judgmental
Nationalism->Fake
Politics->Cynicism
Economics->Undeveloped (we could hardly understand economics even after witnessing countless cycles)
Philosophy->Consummate (of all disciplines)
Objectivism->Naive
Science->Progress (Science represents progress and is often held back by religion)
Stimulus->Inconsequential (This recession is proving lord Keynes wrong)
Recessions->Inevitable
Religion->Steroid (Can work, but is a quick fix, and sometimes wreaks havoc)
Communism->Irrational
Friend->Memento (Your friends are a link to your past)
Morality->Nuanced
Literature->Seductive (I am slowly being turned a leftist, thanks to A.Roy)
Mathematics->Queen(among sciences)
Feminism->Idealistic
Environment->Precious
Nature->Stimulating
Stigma->Crippling
Knowledge->Strength
