I wrote this on Quora, but I thought I’d share it on my blog, as I think the message here is quite powerful. Here it is, Do you pictures speak louder than words? Yes. Pictures do speak louder than words, generally speaking, but I don’t think that has much do with the lack of power…

I mentioned in a post on my analysis of “Notes from Underground”, that there are few books, if any at all, that have fundamentally changed my life. Although I described Notes from Underground as one of these books that did so, it seems odd to not regard this book, A Man’s Search for Meaning, as a book of that…

I recently finished a book, recommended by my friend, The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka. Although, I think I understood the message being portrayed in the story, I personally wouldn’t recommend it as a casual read. It’s definitely something, if you’re just looking for a good story, to avoid. Nevertheless, I still want to give my…

I want to talk about a particular aspect about myself that I’ve been extremely hesitant to share with anyone, for fear of the shame or even ridicule I might get. It’s not that it’s particularly a bad thing, per se, only that, it’s not something that I wanted to make public, and for good reason.…

This will be a controversial post. I can already tell. And, that’s not because I intend for it to be that way, but simply, I want to touch on a topic that has been bothering me for quite awhile, and, after some time, finally been able to get a more tangible answer I could articulate.…

I had a terrifying thought this last night, and I hesitate to share it, in fear, it may be taken the wrong way, but I fear far worse, if I don’t share these thoughts, or at least express them in writing, they will only continue to expand beneath my feet, only to overcome me in…

How I Transcended Reality (objectively speaking)

The past few weeks, something strange has been happening to me. I was hesitant to even speak about this, at first, because, in the beginning, and even now, I’m not sure what is going on, and the only way to describe this phenomena is, I transcended reality. Now, before you dismiss me as some crazy,…

They say, other than infidelity, that one of the most common, if not the most common reason of divorce has some sort of financial under-pinning to it, AKA money problems. If you or your spouse don’t know how to properly manage each others money, not to mention, as a single entity, a couple, then it’s…

Walking the Line Between God and Science

As I sit here and write this post, I can only feel that the thoughts I’m thinking, and words I’m typing, they are not my own. And that’s a strange thing to think about, how could they not be my own? If they’re in my mind, then surely, they must belong to me. But if…

How intelligence affects your personality

In recent years, and I use recent broadly, there’s been this idea floating around that “everyone has the same capacity to achieve well in life, though some have put in more effort than others, or even they were just lucky.” Essentially, the idea is, almost everyone is the same, more or less, and if you…
