Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. -Marcus Aurelius When there are immense possibilities much beyond our ability to comprehend the truth of this existence, there are also greater chances of being mislead with false perceptions that have been etched deeply in the psyche of every age of existence. Just when we think that … Continue reading The Opinionated Truth
Every day is a struggle as you are forced to compromise with your defence mechanisms. Your feelings are taunted and badgered to create a delusional environment; you will feel inadequate and start believing the barrage of lies which manage to seed the mind with doubtful beliefs. The kind of design laid out across the numerous intersections, the hurdles, and obstructions become hazardous for freedom. It … Continue reading Above Contradictions
A kind of transition is possible only when the world is asleep; it is not one can dream of or anticipate. Even the sharpest intuitions fail to perceive the outcome of such a change. There is nothing contrived about the event that occurs. The abstract images gather, change colour and accomplish a new reality. While worrying about the spaces and crowded realities, there seems to … Continue reading Transition and Reality
There is a kind of boredom with a shrinking space, where the boundaries seem to be half-heartedly etched out to arrest the inhabitant and only allow trespassers. I believe we only tend to ignore life and the identity that we are born with because we necessarily engage with the correspondences of confusion. The idea of dissatisfaction comes from heaps of expectations that are seeded in … Continue reading A Shrinking Feeling
The inability to mask the truth with credible lies can be exasperating and a sense of inadequacy creeps in. While natural light energises the senses, the surrounding discrepancies act as depressants. There are many solutions concocted through forceful human interventions; the ability to identify, split and alter the chemical nature of reality through regular dosages of experimental self-destruction. It does happen slowly, but the intensity … Continue reading Sense of Unconscious Reality
I don’t know if anything lengthy is relevant anymore. The paucity of time, lack of interest, and some inevitable changes have shifted the consciousness. Our concept of time has become even more vulnerable. Some changes are natural, while the majority of them are thrust upon us. Few think and educate them on how to think! The thinking culture then spreads like a powerful ripple and … Continue reading The Identity Struggles
When something becomes truth because it is conveniently comparable and the entire idea can be suitably placed with other ideas. The puzzling theory is that the pattern of truth should replicate the perception, acceptance, and feasibility; at times, their correspondence with the community, the acceptable language is also a criterion to choose them. Often, there are sketchy ideas of truths; from the observed, absorbed, and … Continue reading What could the Truth be?
The loud thud woke up the serenity of an extremely lazy evening. It was not enough for the conspiring world to harass the mind during the brief recess. What could be the world’s idea of life? Is it the composition of individual consciousness conveying their concerns and desires to a life that rushes past? It is interesting to note that every little note that is … Continue reading Fate Infringes
Forked ideas pick on the brains at will, rather ferociously, as the ravenous ideologies desire to chew on them. Interesting times always; there is an evolution of narcissism, and its rapid proliferation has become sophisticated with the digital age. It travels swiftly across the globe, creating sensational ripples to unsettle subtle ideologies. There is the propensity to seek validation; be it one’s conviction about faltering thoughts or deep-rooted cynicism that is eager to find legitimacy. So, the best way is to … Continue reading The Blinkers
Are we becoming chronically serious? As society becomes more technical, clinical, and algorithms oriented, there are certain aspects of human behaviour getting erased every day. Now we have access to information and digitized knowledge databases to educate ourselves, but there are not enough credible teachers, who are philosophically balanced to help us analyse every piece of information. So, we are absorbing a huge amount of … Continue reading Settling the Doubts
