Are we nothing more than a complex reaction? There are reasons behind every action we perform. Whether they are conscious decisions to make a positive change, or a subconscious decision made reflexively with little thought such as buying another pack of cigarettes. Awareness and will are key differences between conscious and unconscious living. The more […]

Rules exist because we are incapable of policing ourselves. We are all selfish, egoistic organisms; when the colony grows beyond a manageable size, universal oversight is impossible. Rules function as deterrents to defectors to improve the overall success of the colony. Rules however are determined by rule makers, and, by their inherent definition and title, […]

I had some really great idea’s for blog posts the last few days, but I forgot my laptop at work last night. This was not entirely a bad thing. It gave me some time to hang with my brother and read more. I even got to bed at a decent time and went for a […]

I started reading Jean Paul Sartre’s “Being and Nothingness” last night. I only made it through the first 7 pages. His writing mirrors his stream of consciousness. This makes for difficult translation and understanding. His writing proceeds as a dissertation on himself rather than a reflection of his own introspection. The substance however, has striking […]

We’re fighting over conventions. God to some is Allah to others. We kill for the convention. We need form and finality, therefore leading to irretrievable breakdown in communication. The meaning behind the symbol and the convention is identical. Heaven is simply the placeholder to describe a pleasurable experience at the moment of death. If we […]
