    The philosophy of: Bhavagad Geetha (and what Monthy Python’s got to do with it)

    August 18, 2018 - By Dave

    The Bhavagad Geetha (or the Gita) is a Hindu Scripture in Sanskrit that lays out things to keep in mind and a clear way to live a sweet life. It’s seen a spiritual dictionary and an answer to all life’s problems. It reminds you that you were once nothing, and you will once again at some point nothing, so in…

    Life can be sweet lived in dreams, fantasies and fiction but it’s much more fun and exciting and REAL lived in reality (albeit emotionally dangerous and potentially heartbreaking) – The philosophy of: Amélie

    August 15, 2018 - By Dave

    The beauty of philosophy is not in its esoteric metaphysical theories, its circumlocutory dialogues or its dusty old texts. It’s in its power to help you see how to live life, and truly live and experience its raw, uncensored and potentially mindblowing (or headfucking) moments. Those moments of magic, those moments of true connection, whether to nature, a moment or a person. So although Amélie…

    Viva la Vida & The Philosophy of Frida Kahlo [pt.2]

    August 14, 2018 - By Dave

    This was contentiously the last thing Frida Kahlo ever painted: But even if it’s not agreed that it undeniably was, it’s pretty much agreed that her inscription was done just days before she died. Despite her challenging life, she perhaps still maintained that love for life, through all life’s good and bad shit (the latter of which she had shitloads).

  • On Life - Why you listen to it

    There’s one thing that makes for a happy life… And that’s LIFE itself (and all its fucked up lows, ecstatic highs, anxieties, worries, fears as well as its joys, self-fulfillments and celebrations.) + The philosophy of: Gang of Youths’ Say Yes to Life.

    August 12, 2018 - By Dave

    Say you’ve been a bad boy or girl and you’ve been sentenced to death. On the day, your time is approaching and you know your life will soon be over. There will be nothing left for you to do, or hope for, or experience or hope to experience one day. You will soon not be living. If you could wish for…

    Your death is not the suckiest thing that can happen to you; it’s the death of others that is. (& The Philosophy of: Memento Mori)

    August 4, 2018 - By Dave

    Once you die, that’s it. You (most likely) don’t have to deal with it. But there is nothing that sucks more than the death of someone you love. At least when you die, you’re at peace. But when a family member dies, it is the closeness to them that makes it the suckiest thing that can happen. But it happens…

    Are you worried about money? What importance does the quantity of a series of cardinal numbers (in your account) have on life, or the ‘Pale Blue Dot’? (The philosophy of: The School of Life – You are not what you earn)
