It seems all virtues are for strong. when you are strong or have power you can choose whether to forgive or punish, but what can you choose when you’re weak? how can you show your virtue when you’re not allowed to choose itself? then it all turns into mere consolation. Is there anything like ‘intrinsic value’?

THE FLIES IN THE MARKET-PLACE
Flee, my friend, into your solitude! I see you deafened with the noise of the great men, and stung all over with the stings of the little ones.
Admirably do forest and rock know how to be silent with you. Resemble again the tree which you love, the broad-branched one – silently and attentively it overhangs the sea.
Where solitude ends, there begins the market-place; and where the market-place begins, there begins also the noise of the great actors, and the buzzing of the poison-flies.
In the world even the best things are worthless without those who represent them: those showmen, the […]

I belong to theory. Followers belong to practice. I tried to combine both but nothing worked and i don’t know why.
I am an idiot. that’s what i am. a fool. i am a dreamer. i am not living in reality. why do i act stupidly in front of others? why the hell? why can’t i ever know how to act? i’ve such a self-defeating tendency… i deliberately ruin everything. even at those actual moments i know what i am speaking and how it can be changed to give a better and more clear presentation of what i’m trying to say, but i don’t do that. i deliberately speak whatever the stupid statement come in my mouth. i know the hidden actual meaning/emotion behind their statements, […]
A problem with life is that there is no background music
today i had a brief talk with my father. he asked me why i’m ruining my life and i told him my ways and destination are different from society’s. he gave me proud history of our family and challenged me to amount to something and keep it maintained. i told him my goals may not be appreciated by society, and he said ‘it doesn’t matter. if you’re going your own way then succeed in it. become Buddha’. it was almost mocking. if i choose my own path, then i HAVE TO succeed in it, otherwise i’m failure. if i submit to their, then any average […]
I no longer seem to even try. all ways have contradictions, all ways are lies. the truth, as i’ve extracted out of them, is: they are born out of desire to escape this misery or to reach to a destination. this very desire makes them fail. i can from this moment start making some change in my life in order to better up my situation, but its thoroughly a lie. my desire makes circle with effects of change, and my real self remains untouched, unchanged. thus this method is bound to fail over time, as a lie cannot sustain itself for long. something needs to […]
I am going to start writing diary, again. 5 years ago it changed my life; who knows, maybe it will do that magic again.
‘and if that liar is truly a liar, how can he claim that he is a liar?’, a liar was talking to his friend, and the friend said, ‘it shows that he is a true liar’; and the liar was free from whatever subconscious lie was still lingering to him.
I can see through their mind, that’s the problem. I can see the intentions behind their words, the one-sidedness, the un- understandability, the hypocrisy, the wrongness, the ugliness, the will to power. Just by seeing it gets transferred into me; and i feel disgusted, i cannot bear it. There seems to be a psychologist sitting in me who wants to know everything, but doesn’t know how to bear that knowldege. I don’t feel like replying or take an action based on, or even against, such wrong intentions. I feel like i’m better inactive than act wrongly. And the biggest problem is i cannot compromise […]
Trapped inside this dream of Waking Life
The only way I can escape is taking flight
Because I need to finally reach my greatest height
I just hope that someday I’ll make it right
The screen said to me: “dream is destiny”
on a morning when I couldn’t find the best in me
after a long night that didn’t set me free
because I found out I’m not yet who I expect to be
Analyzed all the things that I ignore
they used to be the things I would kill for
Priorities changed, life always meant more
than just passing out on a porcelain pillow ’til […]
“The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear.â€
– Gandhi
Its not about truth. Its not even about right and wrong. Its about… state of mind.
“You know, if we understand one question rightly, all questions are answered. But we don’t know how to ask the right question. To ask the right question demands a great deal of intelligence and sensitivity. Here is a question, a fundamental question: is life a torture? It is, as it is; and man has lived in this torture centuries upon centuries, from ancient history to the present day, in agony, in despair, in sorrow; and he doesn’t find a way out of it. Therefore he invents gods, churches, all the rituals, and all that nonsense, or he escapes in different ways. What we are trying […]
I watched this movie ‘Jesus of Nazareth’ and noticed that he many times called himself “son of man”. why (i mean why would someone explicitly say that about himself)? and why do Christians call him “son of God” then?
Isn’t it all about balance, business, give-n-take, cause-n-effect? To every action there must be a reaction, han? its about justice, isn’t it? aren’t we all but seekers of justice, executors of justice? and aren’t all Transcendental things, things like Love, Forgiveness, Letting Go, about breaking this balance? They (preachers of these transcendental things) try to give you a reason to commit these things, that being achieving happiness or getting out of misery, but that’s either a mistake from their side or a deliberate lie. transcendental things should remain transcendental, i.e. without reason; but then who will commit them, and how?
Breaking the loop – is it […]
