Are You as transparent as Glass? Then you gotta meet Prof Zachariasen
Dear Friends,
I find hard to understand with those people who are completely transparent in thoughts and emotions. In fact relationship with people who are as transparent as glass are very delicate and we are prone to get away from each other if they are not our child hood friends/family members. Sometimes I question myself that should we fake ourselves with people? Or Should we hide some pictures? What makes them feel weird? Where does this work? I don't understand. When I hear GLASS, which is defined as "an inorganic product of fusion which has cooled to a rigid condition without crystallizing."
Firstly, from definition, if the fused product doesn't crystallize, then it must be an amorphous solid. The term Amorphous itself gives us a picture where the atoms are not arranged in repetitive manner.
Imagine a situation where atoms are replaced with your emotional quotient, how would it be if you are transparent. Just try to get into shoes of a person who looks up on a person who says he is clear and transparent.
Who would like a person who is not consistent? Consistency plays a role, if they are not consistent, then you will tag him/her as "MAD MAN". That is what happens when you are as transparent as glass with a newbie, who has some predetermined image when ever you meet him.
From this, I am not telling you people to act, if you are so, then you will be termed as hypocrite. How would you accept it? This has become a question, when i question myself on transparency.
Now, let us frame some rules/conditions for transparency. This is what Norwegian William Houlder Zachariasen came up with a paper "The atomic arrangements in glasses"in 1932 which was an eye opener for several glass scientists. His rules are applicable even for glass forming emotions as i termed atoms as emotions earlier.
Rule No 1: "An oxygen atom is linked to not more than two glass-forming atoms. "
We know, often people call oxygen as life saver,in order to describe in our terminology, Life savers are nothing but, the hold on your emotions. Which means that, Given a call, you can not be diplomatic, If yes you gotta say yes/ if no you gotta say no. The link is between YES/NO.. There is space for May be, may not be/ probably.
Rule No 2: "The coordination number of the glass-forming atoms is small."
Coordination number is important as we must know how many people are around us, We know that it can be only family members and child hood friends who can accept us. Beyond that, acceptance of your transparency is less. This happens in most of our life, This Rule is one which is applicable for those who claim themselves as extroverts.
Rule No 3: "The oxygen polyhedra share corners with each other, not edges or faces."
Rule No 4: "The polyhedra are linked in a three-dimensional network"
The Rule 3 & 4 clearly says that the glass forms a 3-D Network. Well, our emotions also form 3-D Network, it goes hand in hand as, we are linked up with constraints, there by reducing from N Dimensions to 3 Dimensions. This is the one which also says that, the lifesaver saves us only once, and it does not come in front of us and protect/ neither give us a push this is because, it is glass forming rules, transparency plays a vital role.
The frame work, doesn't stop here, there is something much more than this. I would like to reel on how well these classification of oxide glasses are handy when it comes to human life.
Bottom Line: Be transparent to very limited people. That's how a good network can be built. Know, where you gotta be Crystal Clear. We must know how to form a network first.

Every individuals perception on transparency is this!
where we feel that people are able to understand the emotional part and intellectual part as well..
But..
This is how it feels for the one who experiences our transparency .
We always end up being puzzled and blank.

People say, they are Crystal clear, Will that mean that they can be the same always?
Where is the transparency?
