There is no perfect person. We all do absurd things and have neuroses that make no, or very little, sense to others. From time to time, some of these may be endearing, but at others, they be completely maddening to those around us. So if someone points out something that you do poorly, or lazily, that you’re always late, overly neurotic…
Is an ambition-free life, one ‘free’ of dreams a meaningless one? Is existence completely in the present a purposeless one? In Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot, a man is sentenced to death by firing squad but minutes before he’s shot, he is pardoned. In those minutes expecting his death though, he realises how incredible and eternally beautiful the simplest things are. So…
Some of the greatest, most significant and most powerful moments in your life may be the ones where you just stop, breathe, live and take in where you are in your life at that exact present moment. But trying to fight how things natural just go may make you not capable of handling the sudden random occurrences of your life and…
When someone tells you ‘Don’t panic!’ or ‘Don’t get stressed’ or even ‘Don’t worry’, the last thing that your brain hears is: ‘Panic!’, ‘Get stressed’ and ‘worry’. But it doesn’t only happen with commands. It’s not only when people are trying to reassure you that their intention may have the opposite affect. You may be doing this to yourself subconsciously.…
Your body will fail you, at some point. So maybe being invincible isn’t realistic. Maybe, but maybe not. Maybe instead of saying ‘Nothing will ever hurt me’, it’s healthier and more constructive to say ‘Anything that happens, I can adjust to. Nothing is too much for me to handle.’
If you want to change something, or do something better, you a) don’t have to wait until an arbitrary time marker (a new calendar year) to do it. Additionally, if you make a New Year’s resolution, by definition it’s something you want to do in the whole next year. So say you make a new year’s resolution for 2018 to…
If intelligence is the processing of info, and computers can already do it a fuckton quicker than us, we’re fucked. For thousands of years people have communicated and tried to work out the one thing we all have to do (how to live well) and still most of us have no fucking idea. Whereas if you download info into a computer,…
Philosophy and physics are like 2 twins separated and birth and brought up in different families – at the heart of it, they’re fundamentally similar. If you understand physics, you can understand how everything in the world works and interacts with each other. And if you understand philosophy you can understand how everything works in your mind and how everything…
You yourself are a part of [this] universe; and for any one of nature’s parts, that which is assigned to it by the World-Nature or helps to keep the whole world in being is good. Moreover, what keeps the whole world in being is Change: not merely change of the basic elements, but also change of the larger formations they compose. –…
You change every second. Every split second. Because every second, every split second you come closer to the end of your life. So if you’re changing every split second you can never actually completely know yourself and know what you want, what makes you happy and what will. BUT, maybe that doesn’t matter. Maybe just knowing that you don’t know…
