The actual issue with people who are overthinking is not overthinking itself.

It is their inability to channel the capacity to overthink into something more creative.

Instead of ruminating on random events in your life, invest that time in creating.

Everything is ecstasy when you can sync with your inside.

20/12/2023

Logos is the most powerful universal constant.

All we have is words.

We ought to learn to speak well.

For it is through speaking that our understanding of the world can morph into the power to change the world.

19/12/2023

There are no wrong answers.

Just wrong aesthetics.

15/12/2023

The paradox that engulfs our social life: Since we crave the presence of others, why is it so difficult to co-exist with them?

13/12/2023

An anxiety attack or any other byproduct of anxiety is not something born out of happenstance.

It is a situation infringed upon us through a series of bad choices we make and by immersing ourselves in the wrong environments and lifestyles.

12/12/2023

I like slowness and depth.

Through slowness and depth emerges a new way of being.

One where the notion of time and experience is re-engineered through the prism of meticulous introspection and observation of our existence.

09/12/2023

The moment you recognize that life is meaningless is the moment you are free to create your own meaning. Catalytical moment.

08/12/2023

Meditating on things human all too human is the only true way to become more humane.

07/12/2023

Fear of missing out is worse than the result of actually missing something.

That is because perpetual fear is more destructive than instant fear.

05/12/2023

Writing is not just a skill. I dare to say that writing is a form of catharsis. For it is through writing that the mind empties and the psyche heals itself.

01/12/2023

A theory you adhere to will gain instant currency the moment you manage to build with it explanatory bridges from the subjective and phenomenal to the objective and measurable.

Reject clichés and mundane topics.

Be innovative and daring.

Allow style and panache to ooze out of your every creation.

22/11/2023

Open-mindedness serves as a rapture in being through which the individual finds realization and reconciliation with truth.

Why Is There Still So Much Evil in the World?

The phrase "banality of evil" was coined by political theorist Hannah Arendt in her work "Eichmann in Jerusalem" to describe the startling ordinariness of Ad...

The modern era has seen the emergence of new forms of propaganda and the manipulation of truth that make the the ability to judge good and evil more challenging.

In a world of fake news, alternative facts, and echo chambers of ideology, moral judgment is increasingly difficult.

What is evil and what is not can be obfuscated by the noise of conflicting narratives, and making inaction or the wrong action part of the new normal.

13/11/2023

When we recognize our capacity for evil, only then can we also recognize our capacity for good.

He couldn't.

Α nihilist is more of a skeptic than a cynic.
The two terms are often conflicted and conflated, but they constitute two completely different attitudes towards life.
Nietzsche is clearly a skeptic:

Nihilism comes from the Latin word nihil, which means nothing.It is a word associated with meaninglessness, rejection of values, and giving up on life.Nihili...

Delve into the pelagos of books, and in them, find the awakening of a voracious appetite for the written word.

02/11/2023

The mere vastness of the human experience should make us humble.

30/10/2023

Within the shadows of our psyche, the essence of art and madness persists.

Indestructible in nature, it safeguards against the abyss of oblivion.

27/10/2023

True creativity demands a rebellion.

It's not about embracing darkness, but rather about daring to walk paths slightly off the norm.

It's essential to feel rebellious.

24/10/2023

I believe art is about capturing tranquility amidst noise. It's akin to the serenity found in meditation and the calm at the hurricane's center. Art, to me, signifies a moment of focused attention amidst the distractions that surround us.

20/10/2023

Go for a walk in the woods and think about the vastness of the cosmos.

Go to a museum and look at art.

Have an abstract discussion with a friend.

Things don’t need to be of concrete use in order to have value.

18/10/2023

Just be loud and you will have clout.

What a sad world.

17/10/2023

Clarity of thought is the ultimate form of mental freedom.

16/10/2023

Instead of providing direct answers, we can always ask the right questions. Questions that are meant to guide people toward a realization or an insight.

As Socrates stated in Plato's "Meno," "I am not teaching him; I am merely questioning him."

14/10/2023

Art is stealing.

Whether you steal from nature, from history, from other people, it doesn't matter.

You get inspired by stealing.

The best artists are the ones who just don't steal from one place.

The best artists are the amalgamation of their biggest influences.

Openness, agreeableness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, extraversion.

These are the five most significant personality traits.

Understanding their significance is tantamount to solving the riddle of who you really are.

I explain everything here:

A personality is an evolved solution to the problem of an overly complex world. And the most relevant tool we can use to understand our personality is the "B...

The best way to escape competition is through authenticity.

You can be authentic in many different ways but the ideal one is to battle banality and cliches.

Build your identity by understanding who you are and live up to that.

01/10/2023

Experiencing life in its totality is a challenging endeavor.

We become entangled in the trivial issues of the daily grind and we fail to recognize the vastness of various experiences life can offer.

29/09/2023

The mere vastness of the human experience should make us humble.

People who are not humbled by that are just perpetually dwelling within their self-made illusions.

25/09/2023

One isn’t born full of hate or full of love, but, one can cultivate a biased sense of how to perceive the idea of love and hate.

Look at yourself.

Don't look at how other people look at yourself.

You are the judge of who you are.

Be a strict, grateful, sagacious, and reasonable judge.

20/09/2023

Dreams serve as a direct conduit to our subconscious mind, where the shadow resides.

They offer us a symbolic language through which our innermost thoughts, feelings, and conflicts can surface.

By paying attention to our dreams, we can gain valuable insights into the workings of our psyche and the aspects of ourselves we need to address.

18/09/2023

When you stare at the darkness, the darkness stares back at you.

It is a momentous instance in your life.

You either allow it to own you or you fight back.

There is no middle ground there.

14/09/2023

Whether we like it or not, we are purpose-driven beings.

Purpose is what allows us to add more structure to our life and eventually have control over it.

Without a purpose, darkness takes over.
