THE SOULLESS MIND

-

      Our bodies, physical manifestations of what used to be of the earth, are empty husks without a soul in them and that is what makes us truly human. Even so, can we truly consider ourselves to be humans even with this soul of ours?

       Like any other creature on this earth, we strive to survive. However, we’re gifted with a soul and a mind that transcends any living being on this planet. However, a question arises, are we using these two gifted features in the right way? Judging by the way the planet is affected by our actions today, the observation that I’ve seen clearly is that we act without thinking about the consequences or in another sense, we are educated to know what would happen if we perform a specific actions that would endanger the eco-system that has been laid out since the beginning of time. A question that always comes to my mind is that “why do we, as humans, know about the consequences of performing a specific action and end up regretting it after we do it?” This is a question that is obviously unquestionable. 

      When you think about a certain event in your life, a common example would be when we are still studying. Surely, if we had not studied for a certain subject, the grades for our exam would definitely be disappointing. Knowing that we need to study for a good cause, we indulge ourselves by doing other things to entertain ourselves. The knowledge about “I need to study” deters us from doing so at times. I went for a conference once and heard someone say this, “Many come to listen, but not to learn”. It’s always easy to listen and to do tasks we’ve been told to do, but learning something or anything is never easy. Sometimes, we act without thinking. Other times we might act according to our emotions which, most of the time, is not a good thing.  

      Rationality is absent in presence of emotions. I, for one, could testify to that. A slight change in your plans and everything goes haywire. Self-control is essential and by practicing it enough, things will change for the better.

TO FALL IN LOVE

Each one of us expresses our love differently towards others. Here are my thoughts on love, an essence that permeates through a human that makes me question myself as to why it exists.    What does it mean for someone to fall in love? Is it a feeling? An expression? A choice? Or just mere infatuation? We have been seeing people define love in all sorts of manner. But how do we define love? Is it in a lustful manner? Or showed by just giving stuff or caring about others? A person once asked me about whether I would love a person or to be loved by a person. My thoughts on it were substantially naive, because I would choose neither. If one does not love and want to be loved, it’s rather self-centered and if one wants to love and does not want to be loved, that to me would be a portrayal of self-sacrificial martyr. It cannot be either one. To love is to be loved and to be loved is to love; sometimes we need to incorporate one into the other. If it’s either, the person that is af

MARRIAGE GO ROUND

       Marriage, the sworn oath, the intertwining of hearts, whatever you call it, there’s never a moment where the difficulties that arise when you’re dealing with your partner would ever go smoothly as you might’ve expected it to be. The ups and downs on this particular matter would be faced frequently throughout your journey after marriage, and it’s definitely different from the problems you’ve faced in any other situation such as your studies, etc. Keeping a marriage intact is not easy even if it might sound simple. “Just love your wife or husband”, some people might say, but its way more complicated than that when a whole load of emotions roll in. I can’t really speak for myself here because I’m not married yet. As far as I’ve seen others getting married, it puts me in a trance of deep thoughts about getting married. Going through marriage ceremonies, and seeing people whom I’ve known getting married makes me wonder, can those two really stay happy or maintain their happin

THE UNEXPECTED.

       Hey everyone, so I’ve not updated my blog in a long time, so here’s a self-expressive article about how I went about things that had happened in my life and how I met a person who was able to understand and to relate to the things I’ve gone through. I’m quite sure that most of us, if not all of us, have gone through that phase of life where we think that we would never find the right person to be with, a few possible reasons could be previous relationships that have gone sour, or staying single to save yourself for the right one. For the longest of time I thought of everything that everyone had thought off, meaning to say that i might not meet that perfect one. The truth is, there isn’t a perfect one, but sometimes, you just meet people in life and there will be ones that help you grow to prepare you for a person who would have gone through the same and there will be this certain click that i can’t describe when such occurs. “When it comes, it comes”.          If you have b
