Way to madness.

The sane person always realizes the fact that he is on his way to madness.Its madness that defines sanity.

Reality.

I can't get rid of reality because i'm reality.

The problem of love.

The problem of love is that it never truely let itself to be understood by the lover.

Praying and worshiping.

It was so easy to relinquesh worshiping for me,but how can i abandon praying?
Praying for me is desiring (hoping),and there is no easy way to renounce the 'will'.

Skeptecism.

'Too much knowledge leads to skeptecism',said Goethe but he forgot to add that 'too much skeptecism leads to nihilism i.e,the impossibility of knowledge'.

The roots of Narcissism.

The more we find ourselves at the mercy of circumstances,the more we indulge in self-pity.The more one indulges in self-pity the more one admires oneself .You see how this silly 'self-romance' eventually leads to narcissism.

The gateway of time.

The present,the past and the future all have to pass through the gateway of time that is 'Now'.
Time views itself in 'eternal now'.

Isn't it a pity !

Isn't it a pityNow,
isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity

Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity


George Harrison - Isn't It A Pity

Tagore and death of God.

In death, many becomes ONE
In life,one becomes Many
Religion will be ONE
with the death of God.



Rabindranath Tagore from Stray Birds.

Men and Man.

How strange it is that Man is noble but Men are cruel and Man reaches the culmination of intellect but Men define stupidity.

Creative decadence.

What is the first sign of intellectual decadence?
The realization of the fact that whatever one wants to say has already been said by someone else,so what should one do to avoid it?
The only way to avoid it is to say same things in a different way,just like one sees the same old sun with same eyes yet find something new in it .

My Life.

Here are few facts about me.

1)I am an introvert but that doesn't mean i delibrately want to bore people around me and can't talk.

2)I am not a pessimist but laugh at those who think they are happy,thats my way of stealing happiness and enjoying my misery while it lasts.

3)I don't think about the past much because even the fond memories cause more pain when seen in retrospect.

4)I believe there is a God,but i dont have a choice.(Call it bad faith,i'll not mind)

5)I love old and classic movies,you can ask about any old movie from me.

6)I hate nationalism of any sort.

7)Despite all the criticism i believe in unrequited love,it appeared a silly idea until happened to me.The motivation comes from the fact that,'no matter how much you love me,i love you more'.

8)I love junk food.

Wish.

Sometimes i wish i can turn inside outward ,so that the world can see the real me.

But i'm not the only one.

magine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one



Imagine -Lennon

A question on stupidy.

One of my friend asked this question
Q- Are we born stupid or we chose to be stupid?

Zain's answer was,

"if the choice is there to be made in the first place, then it is a choice indeed some become stupid because of the choices of others".

My answer was,
'The choice is there to be made,we chose to be stupid but remain unaware of the fact that we are stupid,its just the converse of the more you know the more you reallize how much you don't know'.

Mother.

With every passing day my parents ,specially my mother appear more innocent to me .Whenever she advises me i feel a strange kind of happiness.The feeling that she is only 'stating the obvious' in the guise of advice did irritate me initially but at the same time developed a feeling in me that she is me child rather than mother and i'm listening to her stuff just like she listened to me for hours and hours when i was a kid.
Whenever i feel depress i go to my mother and speak my heart out,i tell her that i'm afraid of society.I tell her that most of the people appear machines to me and they don't seem to attract me anymore.Even when i'm among my friends and they laugh and enjoy i feel myself alone ,but i never give an impression that how different i'm from them .After listening all this stuff,my mom tries all her optimistic Pyschological 'Totkey' on me.She also goes on to curse our relatives and family friends that they might have tried black magic on me. :P
Seeing her making all these futile efforts for me,makes me laugh and i enjoy the look of a child on her face.And with that feeling all my depression whithers away.Who needs 'talking cure' of Joseph Breuer when you have innocent perents at home.:D

Pessimist's Wager.

Everybody must have heard about pascal's wager.I have come up with the idea of Pessimist's wager.The distinction has to be made here between atheistic pessimism and theistic pessimism.

Q-What does death mean to a non-believer pessimist?
Ans.End of misery

Q- What does death mean to pessimist believer?
Ans.Beginning of a new misery.(eternal damnation)


So,being pessimist is bad but it can get worse.Better chose the right cards....:P

Shy.

Melisa:Why are you so shy?
Me:Because i'm aware of my limitations .

Lies.

Life changes radically,when one finds it impossible to lie to oneself.

Hero

The world is a stage and everyone plays his part ,said Shakespeare.But everyone consciously or unconsciously thinks of himself as hero of this play(life).I wonder if there is anyone who considers himself the villian of this play.

Why curse God?

Oh my friends why curse god for poor fate,instead curse such a concept of 'fate'.There is something fundamentaly wrong with this concept of fate,it doesn't even spare God.Such a fate would have made God proclaim,

'God is condemned to be God'. :)

So,better change your concept of fate.

Neo-Leibnizian Theory of space.

Breaking all barriers of common sense Leibniz proclaimed that there was no such thing as space as a distinct entity.He postulated that there is no such thing as 'space' and only physical objects existed.He persistently criticised absolute space of Newton and held space and time to be relative(Not in the sense Einstein did) .Such a view appears contrary to common sense but philosophers never care much about common sense.Russell rightly called it 'mataphysics of savages'.

To put it simply,Leibniz was of the view that there was no such thing as space,only physical things exist in what we call 'space' but space doesn't exist as a distinct further kind of thing which contains objects.


There is an argument in favour of this theory from english grammar.Consider these two sentences,

1-There is water between chair and wall.
2-There is space between chair and wall.

From grammatical point of view these arguments are identical but there is something profoundly different from a logical point of view.The concept water and space differ remarkably from a logical view.The second sentence can be parapharased in this way,

3-There is nothing between the chair and wall,and chair isn't touching the wall.


In this sentence the talk of space has dropped altogether ,no such paraphrase is possible for sentence number 1.


Although this is all metaphysics but it shows the great rational mind of Leibniz ,no wonder Russell regarded him as having a great mind.

Nihilistic epistemology.

Epitemology is the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of knowledge, in particular its foundations, scope, and validity.The possibility of knowledge can't be denied becuase denial itself implies knowledge.But isn't it the case that the affirmation or denial of knowledge is based on a presumption called 'knowledge'.

All my unhappiness.

All my unhappiness has to do something with uncertainity of today , certainity of yesterday and bleak chance for tommorow's redemption.
