The Perfect One

  Without the one even an eternity is waste. With the perfect one, A moment is eternal grace Without the one, all gold and riches are fake, With the one, even universe is yours to take. But who that perfect one might be  Who would save you from thee You yourself are the perfect one. We make problems, And solve them for fun. You yourself are the perfect one. Believe in yourself, for you are the chosen one.

Stillest Hour

This happened unto me one monsoon night. There came my stillest hour. I went there with my might. On the rooftop of the tower. Quietness that twitches ones heart. And eternal peace of the dark. With slight dribbles of rain, Feeling neither pleasure nor pain. Forever alone, With thoughts and feelings of my own. Forever alone, With the legends that are gone. Like child, crowds I seek. Onto few my eyes peek. But like teen, I reject them. I find no depth I detest them. But perhaps there's hope to be kept, Each lies in their own depth. Such is the tale of lonesome flower, After the storm came my stillest hour.

Metamorphosis of Spirit

In the book 'Thus spoke Zarathustra', Friedrich Nietzsche describes a person named Zarathustra who lived in solitude for 10 years and now is ready to come out and Share the wisdom he had gained. He describes that man’s spirit undergoes 3 transformation first to the camel, from camel to lion and lastly from lion to child. The Camel Like camel the spirit takes the burden of society’s expectations, his family’s beliefs his community's ideals, and lives up to them. Thus the spirit becomes camel. Generally, during adolescence or in adults we undergo this transformation. All the societies’ expectations, cultural beliefs are portrayed as a dragon, a golden scaled dragon. In each scale, its written ‘thou shalt’ meaning all the ideals or beliefs that implicitly says that ‘you have to’ follow them is portrayed as a dragon in the book. The Lion To defeat this dragon the spirits undergo the second transformation to the lion. Lion defeats the dragon. The lion represents the reje...

Absurdism

In the last blog I talked about the main philosophical ideas namely, Nihilism, Existentialism and Absurdism. In this blog, ill go somewhat deeply to explain Absurdism. In the last blog, I said that man’s act of giving meaning to life is absurd. I will elaborate on that. The scope of the blog is limited, so this is a glimpse of the arguments that Camus does through his works. Absurdity In his works and in the essay, Albert Camus describes the Absurdity of life. In simple terms contradictions, that surround us till the end. In the Myth of Sisyphus, he also says that science is also of little help when it comes to explaining life and to give it a meaning. There is no truth but merely truths. The magnitude of Absurd is in the same proportion as the difference in the terms of comparison. In this way, Absurdity is the link between the human mind and physical reality. Like everything, Absurdity ends with death. Another thing is the leap of the reason that ends the absurdity. Camus calls i...

Philosophy as a meaning of life

 In the previous blog, we talked about how philosophy deals with metaphysical concepts. While philosophy can be considered as root to many fields the mainstream use of philosophy is used to give life meaning. In this post, ill describe 3 main ways to deal with the meaning of life. These are my own opinions and my understanding of the subject, feel free to research or criticize. Nihilism Nihilism is the approach to negate everything and the conclusion that life is meaningless. Nihilism is the way of thinking that values and truths are subjective and therefore it's meaningless. This form of nihilism is regarded as existential nihilism. This type is nihilism is portrayed in Bojack horseman an animated series where Bojack constantly tries to give his life meaning through his actions and then he realizes that his attempts are futile. Another type of nihilism is cosmic nihilism where you are aware that the ideas of the self and values are meaningless. Cosmic nihilism takes a purely...

The Last days of Socrates

The last days of Socrates written by Plato in 403 BC can be considered as an introduction to philosophy. To me, philosophy is an art of thinking. Philosophy deals with metaphysical (beyond physical world) concepts like Truth, Soul, virtues, holiness, morality, and many more. Mainly Philosophy can help deal with the problems of our life. It is like a tool that can make our lives healthy, and our minds strong. Moreover, it can also give the direction in our life. I’m started reading philosophy and this was the first book. The book is in the form of dialogues between Socrates and others there are a total of four dialogues in the book. First, let’s talk about Socrates. Socrates lives in Athens in Greece. Socrates is known to be the first philosopher which laid the foundation, but his existence is debatable and still is because Socrates never wrote anything as he believed philosophy is not about sitting down and writing but engaging in conversations with others. He often goes to people wh...
