A philosopher is a person who doesn't take anything for granted and wonders about the origins of things.

Humans are animals capable of virtuous acts, not virtuous beings capable of beastly acts. Virtue is not inherent but learned.

Pervert man : Rape
Pervert woman : ?
If you think the answer is 'Rape' you are mistaken. The answer is 'provocative' behavior including, of course, skimpy clothes.

Human life is full of amazing paradoxes. Here quite often solutions are more problematic than problems. The trick is to strive for solutions while ensuring we don't solve it away.

A thinking creature has no reason for indulging in oral sex (it's not even necessary for propagation) but for hardwired instincts. So it's out-and-out animalistic. It epitomizes the animal nature of us.

The problem with most people's concepts of justice is that they have taken it for granted that man is not an animal. Think about this: man still has oral sex. Man IS an animal, and it's erroneous to believe that we are free of natural laws that bind other animals.

Looking for (romantic) love? Remember: need* is the mother of failure. (*poorly-managed need.)
Ironic, but true. That's why "romantic love" is inherently doomed venture.

A thousand years ago even the kings didn't have comforts that a man of modest means enjoys today; and sill the richest men too are unhappy. Happiness is not about material comforts. The trick is in managing choices and expectations.

Either I am intelligent to know the futility (if not ills) of it, or I am evolutionarily just not adapted to carry the new-age burden of thousand (Facebook-) friends. So, I won't add you as a friend unless either we are 'really' 'friends' or I find you compellingly my type.

Television today is an insult to intelligence and rapes dignity. The sight of it sickens me. And to live around increasing population of TV-created zombies feels so tragic I feel like running away to the jungle.

About four months ago I decided to not expose myself to TV advertising and since then have not sat before television; and the change in mental health is palpable.
Until the mind is out of it, it won't realize that it is living in a gutter feeding on shit.

Not studying philosophy/sociology and living is like running a car without learning to drive. Is it any wonder that so many lives are simply a series of mishaps?

To the empty narcissistic souls attention is a life force. That's the reason for many of them Facebook (and Twitter etc.) becomes the necessity of life, for it provides them a window to get noticed without having to do anything worthwhile in the world.

When romantic love becomes the valid basis for marriage, the era of marriage is reaching its end.

Love that suits humans consists of giving. Only when one has transcended one's narcissistic animal nature can one freely give. That way man becomes cooperative which is the only condition through which humans can flourish as a species. Flourishing is the result of love.

An alienated individual who can not attain to meaningful purpose in life tries to lose himself with drugs, loud music, extreme living etc -- 'alternative lifestyles' characterized primarily by pleasure and thrill.

When marriage has already outlived its original purpose, and become a joke, it's funny to see people now fighting for the right to same-sex marriage. Maybe people are so bored with existence that they would take up any trivial matter as a 'cause'.

The 'invisible hand' in free market (Adam Smith) and likewise also in free society may be great in shaping the universe, but it can not be friendly to humans; because it's Nature's hand, and Nature does't serve human agenda.

Not abstinence, nor overindulgence, but moderation is the way to handle instincts.

Neither he who's rolling in love's bliss nor he who is suffering from it are the right persons to take love advice from. Same goes for everything else too; because one can't think straight being on the extremes.

The existence is fundamentally imperfect. Hence, there can't be solutions, only trade-offs.

Having knowledge without good intentions is useless. Having good intentions without right knowledge is lame.

Masses in the society need to be strategically conditioned (manipulated, brainwashed, as it were) all the time, while maintaining their delusion of freedom (i.e. not directly attacking their volition). If moralists can't do it, mass-media/corporations will succeed with theirs.

Some people are sad sad, and some people are sad about the world being sad. The latter are thinkers/philosophers. Which bunch would you rather be in?

In corporate world, you are never appreciated for being intelligent. The only time you get appreciation is when you help your superiors look good in front of their superiors.

When you find someone boring, that probably just means you don't share his/her interest/s.

Unrestrained sexual expression and predominance of sex in relationships is not the mark of a forward society but a backward one.

Savor and enjoy the pleasantness of life, but don't soar so high that the fall is unbearable. And take on the unpleasantness patiently without being rash, knowing it too isn't permanent. Hold firmly to the middle ground. That's the way of the existentially wise.

Individualism and freedom of thought are the enemies of the very values and morality which gave birth to them and elevated them to primacy among advanced nations. (Source)
