Life Unlimited Choices

 Are You Seeking Permanent Bliss or Illusory Happiness? In spite of the fact that we are the descendants of Param Purush, the human brain can move in two bearings - towards the limited or towards the endless; towards super durable delight or towards fanciful satisfaction. As we have gone through countless creature lives in the process to accomplish human existence, the material objects of pleasure effectively drag our brains towards deceptive joy. Yet, deceptive joy just brings us brief help prior to tossing us into the dull pit of hopelessness. Essentially, we are by all accounts shallow and stay fascinated by the transitory joys of the present, for which we pointlessly sit around idly. Since youth, we have lied about transgression, yet we make sure to for our own frivolous personal circumstances. Whatever is finished with a thin standpoint will undoubtedly meet with burdens from here on out. Savvy individuals look for the long-lasting end of wretchedness. This is achievab...

 Not Optimist or Pessimist, But an Agathist Learning a new word is always exciting. More so, when a favorite author like Agatha Christie is named after it. The word ‘agathism’, says Anu Garg – who comes up with a word a day at wordsmith.org – is from the Greek ‘agathos’ which means ‘good’.

 What Is Better, Who Is Right Or What Is Right?   Mathematics is perhaps the purest form of logic with which we can identify. Add two and two to get four. Simple. But does this logic also work for more delicate or complicated topics? Who decides who is right?   The idea of ​​disagreeing on issues of governance, philosophy or life itself is not   new. History books and scriptures are full of stories of individuals or societies that violate the prescribed authority of the time. For the sake of brevity, let's omit the merits of these disagreements for now.   Defining dissent   But what seems   new is the word "dissent" that appears on our phone and computer screens when we surf the Internet in search of news, and even more so when that space becomes social networks.   Dissent, which the Cambridge Dictionary defines as "different opinions about something", has become something of a buzzword   and we wouldn't be surprised if it became th...
