Templates in our Life

AK> In
such a business all templates sucks by definition!
Well, judging by intonation youthful ardour is at its
height. You will be unpleasantly surprised to know that the stamps and
templates are being applied almost everywhere in our life. Not only in pick-up
business. It’s quite another matter if the stamps are invented by you or
borrowed from somebody ingenious. But in the long run it doesn’t matter that
much.
Generally, what can be called a template? For instance, some standard
reaction to a definite situation. When the situation is new for you, you stop.
Then you find a genuine way out of it. Next time it goes more smoothly. Then
you polish up your skills. In the end when you come across the same situation
again you react the best possible way (from your point of view). Then the time
comes for sharing your experience with the beginner. You can ease his life
excluding a few stages of getting bumps on his way.
You say acting without templates? Ok, let’s examine the
subject at the example: a public transport stop. You see an attractive girl.
Further events may develop according to several scenarios. For instance, you
ask her if it is far to get where she’s going and suggest that you walk and so
on. Your behavior would be changing with the situation correspondingly. But you
can avoid any stamps and do something extraordinary:
- F##!!!.. It was real cool when I smashed CyberDemon today
with my BFG in deathmatch! With all his dudes! They plasma-gunned him and then
I crash in and BANG!! BANG!!
The results leave much to be desired.
When we speak of improvisation we usually
imply two things:
- quick wits
- experience
Experience is nothing else but the set of certain skills.
You know the situation, you know the actions to be undertaken – you know the
result. You can’t wish any better. Using your quick wittedness you find the
situation close to the given one, make a necessary approximation (taking into
the account the peculiarities and the results of the previous similar cases)
and go forward!
The ready-made template, especially if it had been tested
already, on the one hand, represents in itself your experience and, on the
other, the use of your improvisation skills and intellectual faculties
particularly if it had been made up straight off. The best template is a local
optimum.
The conclusion: don’t argue with global truths.
PS: All written above doesn’t claim to be scientifically
precise.
