There is a column for spirituality and a column for horoscope, but none for rationality, not one for skepticism.

Pride of Inheritance

Share/Bookmark

Living with pride of inheritance is akin to driving with alcohol in blood. Both are fatal, to self and to others.

Explanation: Inheritance refers to values we inherit by our birth, by allegiance to a community and not earn. Nationality, religion, castism are such. If we take pride in these, if we get high on these, we risk not just self but others as well.

Anala: yeh group chat hai..taaki tum dono mere peet peeche kuch secret na share kare. argh
Shivi: abe Anala needs help with her nose

The Logic of God

Share/Bookmark

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

- Epicurus, Greek Philosopher (341 BCE - 270 BCE)

Musing: Greeks were getting smarter, Christianity made them dumb.
