A Minimal Human Being

I understand when people make mistakes. I make so many myself.

I also understand, though do not appreciate, when people are being dishonest. After all, we need to often fight with our instincts to remain honest.

But, I absolutely do not understand, how people can be devoid of kindness. The quality of kindness and compassion for others, should be so basic and inherent within a human being, that I can not account for cruelty by any thinkable means, be it lack of money or education or whatever. As soon as one is human, one has to have this quality. It is so essential, a human elemeent. I seriously get clueless when I see people acting cruel for no apparent benefits whatsoever.

What I am doing Right

Finishing what I start.
Not wandering much while thinking. If I need to change focus, resuming where I left off.

Meet up

My aspirations should dictate my schedule, not the schedule of others. If company is in need, I will almost always find somebody out there with the same aspirations as I do.

Can't oversay

Patience is not always natural. But it sure helps.

Horizon of intelligence

The horizon of our knowledge is limited by the extent of questions we can form.

I have more freedom, than I had suspected.

I need to exercise my ability to choose more usefully.

Reality, Truth

In a sequence of logic, not all paths are unique. So I need to soften up bindings of argument leading to a conclusion.
There are almost always a second perspective. And that one may not be any less ideal than the first one.
Reality seems to be multi-faced at least, if not multi-origined. The idea of 'either true or false but not both' may not be honored at the deepest level of reality.

Realization of Life

The holy grail of all the philosophical questions, the meaning of life, the essential truth about existence - I am one more step closer to it.

Echo

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.
- Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Do Not Quit

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Growing

The challenge is ramping up.

Life is a game, big time.

There is no end to problems. This is how I grow. Will grow till death.

Lets play it.

QQ

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture.
- Bertrand Russell

The ethics that is practically in effect

No good deed goes unpunished.
- Clare Booth Luce

Pursuit of Happiness

Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
- Soren Kierkegaard

Goes On

It's never done. Not at least until death.

This is Who I am

Ok. Here is something you all should know about me.

I am NOT an average person. No, I am not. I am not just another person, trying to be 'just happy'. No, please get yourself clear about it. I repeat. I do NOT claim to be an average person, who is happy being imperfect and full of shortcomings. No, I am not happy with that. And for that matter, making myself happy is NOT what I live for.

This is the most commong thing I hear and read about people. They say "I am an ordinary person, I just want to lead a simple life, I am not perfect, I want to be happy, etc etc".

I know I am repeating. But lets get this very very clear. This is NOT how I think. I think: I am a person, yes, with finite capacities in most dimensions, but, I DO WANT to be perfect. Yes, I want to be a great person. I want to excel in those uniquely human faculties, such as morality, honesty, kindness and curiosity. I DONT want to be just happy. Because that is SUCH a vague and meaningless statement. If I say I want to be happy, it does not really mean anything specific. Surely, one can be happy by being hurtful to others feelings. And please dont lecture me by Bullshiting that, harming others cant make one happy. Because it is wrong. There are people, they can be very happy, even when they are being unjust, cruel and dishonest. I don't like it, same as you do not, bu that's just fact. Let's accept it and work from there.

Having said this, I have many sub-goals in life. To be perfect is not a matter of joke. It 'may not' be even possible, specially when the concept of perfect is not clearly defined. But here comes the other important thing I want to talk about today. It is, I think, one should dream BIG. I mean really really BIG. A dream that sounds perfectly possible at the very first glance, is a shame for a dream. Nope I do NOT agree with you that, dreams should be realistic. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Dream by definition has to be 'seemingly' impossible. That's exactly why they are called dreams. I DO NOT understand why people ignore this simple meaning of a dream.

What it means to exist

The whole experience of existence is an artifact of time.

I Will Hold On

Forgiving others unconditionally is the greatest favor I have ever done to myself.

Anybody?

I live in a different world - a world where I am yet to meet a real person.
