Maximus FleximusWhat 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 […]
Have you ever heard of the five elements? Maybe, maybe not. “Water. Earth. Fire. Air.Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked…” No, it’s not that. Fire, water, earth air and finally aether fall under the Western tradition of thought. What I’m really referring to here, […]
Life is not a bed of roses. Is that an understatement? Maybe. In fact, I find that it’s pretty uninformative on top of being cliched. If you ask me, I’d put it this way: Life is full of things that disappoint and could just be better. Does this sound kinda gloomy and depressing? In all […]
How does one achieve fulfilment in life? Many years ago, I theorised that happiness and fulfilment are the factors for a good life. Still, the two are not as easily attainable as that. Happiness, I believe, hinges primarily on your environment – that is, if you are surrounded by people you enjoy and are materially […]
Have you heard of hedonism? Basically, it is the theory that we (human beings) seek pleasure and avoid pain. How true do you think this is? Personally, I am of the view that hedonism is too simplistic and only able to account for a part of the story. What do I mean by this? Let’s […]
I’m back for a second post! So, there are naturally obstacles. Why is this site not appearing on Google search? Why is it secure on the post page but not the home page? I overexerted myself like crazy yesterday and I’m supposed to be resting at home today! Now, all these considerations simply don’t matter […]
Do you like theories? Asked this question, you will probably go like uh… this is too abstract. I need to think. Me: Quantum physics? Nah. Relatable stuff? Yes! Seriously, so ideas can kill your head, but they can also be a great catalyst for life itself! Some theories are super complicated and you have to […]
