Quest Pile

2016-09-22T10:27:00.000-07:00

Complete social isolation has become a necessity for my thoughts to be wholly unpacked.

2016-09-22T09:33:00.000-07:00

Of late, the scholarly propensity to hold that something can be known in entirety and with certainty has become quite disquieting.

Compassion

2016-01-04T08:47:00.000-08:00

It is at the moment I stamp the creature as a "pest" that I realize how afar off compassion I am.

New beliefs

2015-12-21T15:17:00.000-08:00

It is concerning that the new systems of beliefs I am being socialized into, even when tentatively held as truths, seem to shake the very foundations of many beliefs I held dearly for years.

Sense of self

2015-11-20T08:43:00.002-08:00

The more I verbalize my justifications, the more fluid my sense of self seems.

Thoughts and lonely

2015-09-19T08:47:00.000-07:00

In the company of thoughts and jollity of mind, it never gets lonely out here.

Language and thoughts

2015-09-17T14:55:00.001-07:00

Many a thought only had an ephemeral existence not because of its worth, but because of the poverty of mind and language to find its semblance.

Socially worthless thoughts

2015-09-12T16:29:00.001-07:00

Such is the unimaginable fecundity of my mind in constructing socially worthless thoughts that my inarticulacy is a godsend.

Conscience

2015-09-03T16:13:00.001-07:00

My conscience at times seems like a mere pastiche of institutions - family, community, religion, market and state.

Schooling

2015-08-27T17:25:00.003-07:00

Of course, my schooling has made me see many things - minute and faraway; unfortunately, this permanent grafting of telescopic and microscopic lens has obscured everything that was hitherto visible to the naked eye.

Lost sight

2015-08-22T08:40:00.003-07:00

I seem to lack the sensitivity to appreciate the many taken-for-granted aspects of my life. Only yesterday, I realized that I have always assumed my sight every time I woke up.
