You’ve Changed

Date October 7, 2007

How many times have you heard that? We all change, it is a part of growing up. We are not who we were 5 years ago, or at least we hope we’re not — we’d want to be better wouldn’t we? Are you who you were 5 years ago? 4 years ago? 3, 2, 1 [...]

Can We believe?

Date September 30, 2007

Do I believe what I want to believe? I hear things, many things, and sometimes I wonder if I only believe the things that I want to believe, to preserve my sanity probably, or my composure. Don’t worry this isn’t a depressed post, it is more of a questions post. One that I seem to [...]

Justice vs. Mercy

Date September 20, 2007

A homeless mother of four children has no way of feeding them. She has asked for help, but without avail, she is left in the wild to care for her children alone without money, food, or shelter. She fears for her children’s health and would never eat out of a garbage can, but she has [...]

Hypocrisy: A Theoretical Situation

Date September 7, 2007

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion regardless of who they are. Also each person is entitled to their own belief of what is right and what is wrong. One of the most debated subject in philosophy is the notion of right and wrong and the idea of an absolute truth. Some believe that there [...]

Morning Thoughts

Date September 6, 2007

Looks like today is going to be a good day enshalla! The morning is beautiful. The streets were crowded but that was alright, nothing too horrible. Did you know you could reduce driving congestion related stress by listening to some good music? Yep, it works! I was contemplating the topic of my next mini-discussion here. [...]

Selfish: How we decide, Part 2

Date September 2, 2007

First I want to thank ALL the people who contributed to the previous post, Selfish: What do you think, Part 1. I was tempted to reply to each and individual contribution, however consider part 2 a reply, to each one of you. That little exercise was meant to demonstrate the types of selfishness we possess. [...]

Selfish: What do you think?, Part 1

Date August 30, 2007

We all have a form of selfishness. I would like to talk in depth about this topic, however first I would like your input. Which would you choose? There is no right or wrong answer here. Imagine yourself in the situation before giving a complete answer. Also, please include your reasoning with your answer. Question [...]

When The Storm of Chaos Settles

Date August 27, 2007

Life is so complex, that sometimes we get thrown off balance. We get thrown into chaos. We enter what I like to call, the cycle of emotions (oh how unique :p). Where we mostly try and do our best to get back on track. Sometimes we get sidetracked into too much sadness and guilt, we [...]

KISS!

Date August 14, 2007

The picture has nothing to do with the post, I just like it. Also, this isn’t about THAT kiss but a totally different K.I.S.S. I have been reading for a while now about a principle of simplicity on Wikipedia, branching off to other links and topics (So much for number 8 in my previous post!). [...]

No Limit, Be Who You Want to Be

Date July 21, 2007

Some of us always knew what we wanted to be. For those of us that didn’t, never is it late to think about it. I like to believe that most limitations people place are only in their heads. The possibilities are endless. We should not be limited in thinking, neither should be limited in doing [...]
