Memories

When you live the same day again n again, you end up developing the inability to make new memories.

Being and God!

Imagine if God and Being were one and the same thing. Then was there any need of arguments for the existence of God?

Human nature and Psychoanalysis!

Critics have always accused Freud of portraying a one dimensional picture of human nature dominated by the dark and gloomy side. His pessimistic take on civilization and human race is quite evident in his major works. However, a cursory reading of psychoanalysis will show that all was not bad or evil in Freud's work.
Freud famously remarked about human nature that a man is much more immoral than he actually thinks he is yet he is much more nobler than he actually takes himself to be. This apparent paradoxical claim is the  greatest contribution of Freud towards the understanding  of human nature. Human nature lies beyond the realm of good and evil and can never actually be grasped by what our conscious minds know.

Things I learned from Freud!

Motive might be nothing but a retrospective rationalization of our irrational instincts based actions.

Truth

Truth is not a thing to be understood; either it is seen or not seen.

Schopenhauer's Philosophy in a Nutshell!

All life is desiring, desire emanates from some sort of lack or void. To lack is to suffer. Therefore, all life is suffering.

Empty Emotion!

He was a keen observer through and through. Always observing the emotions of other people with zeal. Faces spoke to him all the time. He lived through smiles and tears of others. Life was never kind to him though. He recognized all such emotions without living one himself.. His life was just one empty emotion.
