Grandstanding....

A symbolic grand standing is 

An easy virtue.

To be humble....

When one is truly humble.... 

One has very little to despair.

To be good........

 Hard is it to be good....

---The saying of Pittacus of Mytilene.

Hand in Hand....

 Ignorance/Lack of enlightenment and

Self-serving....

Go hand in hand.

A definition of life time journey.... To define oneself.....

 You are not what others

Say or even See as

You may not be even....

Who you define yourself to be and

You are a definition of 

Life time journey......

Through a maze of complexities

Made and Unmade by

Fellow human beings...... 

Irrespective of

Who you are.

Caring.....

Caring is about acting

In ways that are..... 

Most needful in an

Appropriate manner

Towards all life forms.

Enemy /s....

The idea of an Enemy is...

A construct.

Imitating One's Rivals.....

One should not imitate 

One's rivals....

Where one falls short of ingenuity

It is wise to find a Way

A right way 

For A true and

Redeemable Victory.

The nature of truth....

Truth is its own rai·son d'ê·tre.....

Cause and effect......

It does not rest 

With in the domain of

Any ( single ) species.

        *             *              *              *             *

The correspondence theory is often traced back to

Aristotle's  
definition of truth.

(Metaphysics 1011b25):

“To say of what is that it is not, or of 

what is not that it is, is false,

while to say of what is that it is, and of 

what is not that it is not, is true”
            *           *           *            *            *
Since truth is objective, our knowledge of 
true propositions must be about real things. 
According to Plato, these real things are Forms. 
Their nature is such that the only mode by which 
we can know them is rationality.

The world we Live in.......

When there is enough room 

For a spirit to prevail

Even an ordinary person....

Can raise to glorious heights and 

Be generous and kind....But

When forced in to inhumanity 

Even the glorified.....

Fall short and be Low as to

Commit heinous crimes. 

In and out....

There is no truth out there than 

The one with in......... and 

One's ability to find.... 

What is out there is 

Not different from ....

What is hidden within.

One self....

 The most difficult horse to ride.

Turing test.....

It is foolhardy to have

A desire to rule over others lives....

The true power lies in.... 

Ruling one's own life.

Dialectical dichotomy of the Vulnerable.......

One is vulnerable in..... 

One's prejudices and

Also is the One in..... 

One's moral standing.

Trishanku.....

The fallibility of human intelligence is 

To create its psycho-pathological...... 

Alter egos...... and 

To conjure up..... 

What it desires most.

Raison D'être......

Nature is never

A bystander to..... 

Human follies and wrongs.

Privileging Identities.....


Favoritism and privileging

In eventuality leads to  

A destructive misuse and 

Abuse of collective resources.... 

Hence a self fulfilling individual 

With a false consciousness and

A distorted and manipulative intelligence 

Chooses privilege and favoritism....

Where One's shortcomings and failures are

Always compensated by.... 

The coffers of a community.


Natural rights...The Second Treatise on Civil Government (1689), John Locke.


Every Man has a Property in his own Person. 


This no Body has any Right to but himself. 

The Labour of his Body, and 

the Work of his Hands, 

we may say, are properly his. 

The great and chief end therefore, 

of Men uniting into Commonwealths, and 

putting themselves under Government, 

is the Preservation of their Property.

-- John Locke (1632-1704).
 English philosopher and political theorist
Source: Two Treatises on Government, 1690

Film ....

A film is.....

The most Creative 

Diverse....

Prolific enterprise

Mimicking....

Life.

 

We......and what lies under our skin....

We are our true selves and

Impostors.

Quote of the day....

 A key tactic in defending 

The dominant groups values is to

deliberately ostracize those who

question them.

First emotional and moral responses are

denied-and then they are labeled as 

Unacceptable.

--- Feminist philosopher Alison Jagger.

The essence of strength.....

The essence of strength is....

Flexibility.

Breaking Laws....

No Laws are broken...

Where there is no Law to.... 

Begin with.

One's faith in humanity........

There is nothing wrong with keeping

One's faith in human beings

Even when they do not measure up to

It only reflects one's ability.....

To be compassionate towards

Fellow human beings.

       *         *          *          *          *

It is most difficult to contend with 

The evil nature of beings.....

It is destructive both With in and Out.

        *         *           *          *           *

Even inheritance has to be 

Earned and Qualified.....

In its rightful measures.
