Maximus FleximusIn my eyes, authenticity is a pretty important thing. That’s because it conveys the true self to others. In that sense, I am also showing my respect to others because I am never ever trying to deceive them. However, one must know that authenticity does not point to a single route! Some may think that […]
For whatever reasons, I’ve been doing these self-reflection and thought of the day things yesterday and today. I’m just sharing because why not. Now, again, these are abstract concepts that should apply across the board and not just to a single specific. Yesterday: Don’t base your identity too much around being special that you come […]
Would you sacrifice yourself for the greater good? This is an age of peace. Most people would be totally stumped by this question. In my opinion, there is a standard answer to this question, and it is: If it’s worth it, yes. Why do people fight? A standard cliched answer would be: people fight to […]
To start off, let’s make an analogy. Let’s say that life is a game, and all of us were randomly dealt a set of cards. Some people have better quality cards while others have lower quality cards, yet generally speaking, everyone has something they can capitalise on to succeed! It all depends on how well […]
What is the role of society? Well, society provides law and order and allows us human beings to live in a relatively peaceful manner. To be honest, the alternative to society would be anarchy, with lawlessness and chaos and all that. In other words, society itself is not built into the fabric of this world. […]
A relatively illuminating principle we hear is not to live on society’s terms but our own. However, this itself is often still insufficient in decision-making processes! For even when we do not hold our selves to external standards, there are practical decisions we must make, whether big or small, consequential or fleeting, in our lives. […]
What is the greatest strength of human beings? Well, if you consider the story of the Tower of Babel, I think that it’s actually none other than communication itself. See, we are unable to get things done on our own. However, if we each play to our strengths and combine our efforts towards a single […]
Do you know about the cognitive functions? In my opinion, they are a useful tool for self-knowledge and thus a good avenue for any self-improvement. Many people have heard of the MBTI, but it seems like the cognitive functions are much less known. Maybe some people do not really care about understanding things and seeking […]
Today, I will be delving into the topic of knowledge and ignorance while trusting that my scattered thoughts will organise and structure themselves along the way. First, I will have to mention (gasp) some actual philosophy stuff! The reason is that I need to do so for the proper historical background of knowledge to be […]
Back in my post on achieving fulfilment, I briefly mentioned how many people burn time away, simply going through the motions rather than having anything exciting going on in their lives. I was going to post about something more abstract today, really, but I happened to gain added insight into this topic. Thus, this is […]
