Reflected thoughts about life and death, and in between

1. I feel comfortably terrified with Jean Paul Sartre's ideas on existentialism. It means we have to create our on self. That's difficult.

2. How do we grapple humor? We grapple humor just the same as we grapple with absurdity.

3. Mass media sells entertainment. It employs instruments of mass measurements like prime-time viewership. Sometimes they end up deeply unsatisfied, worst doubting.

4. If organized religion aspire to conquer, what would be it's redeeming value?

5. We look for a society or a social arrangement that will and can satisfy our needs. But, by the looks of our infinitesimal needs, our needs can't be satisfied. Thus shall we deem society still relevant?


6. We are all born out of necessity, not out of choice.

7. We try to use symbols so that it would fit our own motivations.

8. Those who are presently employed are still living a nomadic life.


9. We have organized a society based on the idealism of the past but may not be able to work in the present human condition.


10 And what do we call a homeless family?They are the fulfillment of a life of uncertainty.


12. When a whistle blowers blows the State, the State will simply make the truth of the whistle blower dull and boring.


13. They say "The past is past". But the past is a steel anchor that drags itself to the present. The past is a sui generis or a being having a life of its own.


14. Our relationship with both the past and the present is mixed with complexity and a state of being bizarre. Somewhat we are confronted with how to mix oil and water.


15. September rains will be a memorable event. We have hard working and patient rains.


16. As I have said I don't intend to retire. I intend to live.


17. "If you are not busy living, perhaps you are busy dying" - Bob Dylan


18. I live in an imperfect world (I have my notion of it). Lately I realized that I am part of perfecting that world of mine. One small effort at a time.


19. As you reach middle age, you have to take your battles one at a time. And be sure you have an estimate that you are going to win. If not, just leave.


20 There is also wisdom in surrendering.


21. Always remember that you have an inherent power that cannot be taken away from you. That power is indestructible. It will always be in your possession.


22. Friends will always be friends, but always know what are the intentions.
