What is the purpose of life?

To love. To care and cater to others. To give out the effort required to do this until it becomes effortless. To give yourself out until there's no more "I" left. Why? Especially since this seems so unnatural?

Identity

Personal equilibrium requires one thing: you must know who you are and where (in the largest sense) you are. The rest, all the way to happiness, is just a matter of assuming this situation within reality. Knowing who you are, and where you are is the basis for becoming someone else, somewhere else, in case you want it.

The only certainty of life

"is death", maintains the weak intellect. Utterly false, as far back as Epicurus: "When we exist death is not, and when death exists we are not" - behold common-sense boiling it down to the obvious disjunction.

Love and hate

There are only two main ways of looking at things, two lenses: love, or hate. Indifference is not the middle ground, it is merely a way of not looking at things, and it's mostly worse than either love, or hate.

Age of doubt

"Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others."
Groucho Marx

Ahead of your times

Synchronizing with the present time is not that big a deal. Keeping your eyes open, your ears keen, and your reflexes intact isn't particularly difficult. Following your herd is not something hard (or something to be proud of). Most people are on Facebook and Twitter. I'm not. It's not that I'm not "most people" (which I'm not), it's that I'm not in sync with my times.

A good man for ten wise men

I'll happily trade you ten wise men for a good man. The world doesn't lack brains. Mental brilliance is all over the place,  in unprecedented supply. The world lacks plain old goodness. Good old fashion good nature.

philosophy

Be yourself

Trying to be what you can't possibly be is the root of all your troubles. Trying to appear to be what you can't possibly be is worse. There is usefulness in everything, there is beauty to be found in the most trivial of things. There are people to seek and find these.

philosophy

Letting go

The art of letting go is the hardest thing to muster. Letting go of that money you no longer have, of your high-school sweetheart or former partner, of your dead loved ones, of your misconceptions from last year. You cannot be wrong again in a forward-moving way unless you let go. You can only be wrong in your normal, static, unproductive, unaesthetic fashion.

philosophy

Decay

New, cool things keep on showing up all the time, or old things are unearthed and headed for novelty and coolness, as they're exposed to fresh light. Their vast majority shall be destroyed or discredited by a vast majority of superficial losers. Their potentiality becomes the potentiality of decay. Always and forever, because there will always be losers, and they'll always hold majority.
