I
am a lover of books and a collector of ideas. I never let a day pass without
finishing at least five pages and that my day usually ends in
contemplation about the truthfulness or soundness of the things I've read.
There are even times when I lose track of time just staring at the vastness of
the sky, thinking about an ocean of conflicting worldviews, opinions and
philosophies pertaining from the smallest scientific fact to the wholeness of
life. I made it my quest to seek out for the multitude of meanings that existence
possesses in itself. The only purpose I know is to understand life in general
and share any understanding I obtain with my fellow citizens of this planet. It
is a lifelong quest and a noble one.
Hence,
this blog was born. The internet is the fastest way of exchanging ideas in this
modern century. This is my own little way of inviting everyone in this eternal
conversation we call Philosophy. We all have our philosophies in life. This is
evident in the patterns of behavior that we possess and subscribe to regardless
of whether we recognize them or not. Most of us obtain satisfaction and wisdom
from religion without realizing the theological assertions that a person makes
when he says “I believe in God.” Some of us are apatheists who shun away and
ignore questions about the existence of gods and on divinity; while others are
simply hedonists who concern themselves with those things that bring them
earthly pleasures. This blog is dedicated to everyone with a curious attitude
towards life and its many-sided realities.
I
for one am a Humanist. I do believe that the life we have on this planet should
be well-cherished for we will only live but once – and that the highest moral
ideal is service towards others. We have the capacity for happiness and success
in this lifetime and that we must also help others achieve that same realization.
Reason, Science and Philosophy are the compasses that guide humanity in an
expedition for the ideal Human society. It is my delight to share with you
these ideas for this blog is in itself made for ideas. It doesn’t matter
whether readers agree or disagree with part or all of my conclusions. Responses,
be it positive or negative, are truly appreciated for they can wake me up from
my ignorance or further strengthen my own philosophy. This blog was made in
light of the democratic spirit.
Thank you and happy reading.
