It Makes No Sense
The phrase "It makes no sense" is often used when something appears illogical, contradictory, or beyond human comprehension. It arises in moments when our rational faculties reach their limits—when the mind struggles to reconcile an idea with established logic, perception, or experience. However, is the pursuit of making sense of everything truly necessary, or should we simply allow ourselves to experience reality without demanding proof or rational justification?

Life Incomplete
I see a door but no handle. It stands tall, firm, and immovable, yet something is missing. A way in. A way out. A passage left incomplete. The door, on its own, is simply a barrier. Without a handle, it is just a frame enclosing emptiness, teasing the possibility of entry but withholding access. What use is a door if it cannot be opened?

The Irony of It All
There’s something hilariously tragic about a firefighter whose own fire station burns down or a dentist with teeth that look like they've been chewing on bricks for decades. Life has a way of throwing these little paradoxes at us, as if to remind us that nobody is safe from irony—not even the experts.

The AI Takeover
The fundamental accounting equation—Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity—has long been the backbone of financial reporting, ensuring that a company’s resources are always accounted for. However, as artificial intelligence (AI) is projected to replace up to 400 million jobs by 2030, the question arises: Will this equation still hold when AI-driven businesses no longer require human salaries? And if AI does not receive remuneration, where does this leave the broader financial cycle that drives economic growth?

Facing disappointment?
Disappointment is an unwelcome but inevitable part of life. It creeps in when we least expect it, turning moments of hope into waves of frustration and despair. Lately, I have encountered more than my fair share of setbacks. It almost feels as though no matter how much effort I put in, something always stands in my way, blocking my progress, obstructing my dreams, and weighing heavily on my spirit. I know that struggles are a natural part of existence, but must one go through them repeatedly, without respite? How do you keep your head above water when the current keeps pulling you under?

Sane but Not Sane
The man wakes up every morning, follows a routine, and speaks clearly. He remembers appointments, makes plans, and even gives advice to others. By all accounts, he is sane. Yet, in the quiet corners of his mind and the moments he believes no one is watching, he crumbles. He laughs when he should cry, rages over small things, and loses himself in conversations that seem to belong to another world. He is sane—but not rational.

The CV Paradox
Compiling achievements, crafting resumes, and trying to fit our existence into a few pages of credentials. Can a list of jobs, degrees, and skills capture the depth of who we are? Beyond the paper trail of employment history lies something more—our essence, our culture, our way of life. Yet, these rarely make it into the records that society values. What if the most important parts of us remain unwritten?

Lessons from a Spinning Drum
In the hum of a washing machine, an unnoticed rhythm plays out—a dance of movement, force, and alignment. A front loader spins like a rolling wheel, while a top loader swirls like a whirlpool. Two different motions, yet both are part of a grander cycle. These differences in spinning aren’t just mechanics; they offer deeper lessons about life, human behavior, and growth.

Embracing Opposites and Contrasts
We can establish the fact that there is a time and season for both clear opposites- two directly opposing states or conditions, and contrasting actions- different yet related actions that occur under varying circumstances. Life, as observed through wisdom, operates within a framework where joy and sorrow, gain and loss, peace and war, love and hate all have their appointed times. But if this is an unavoidable truth, why do we often struggle with it? Why do we feel discomfort, resistance, or even pain when the seasons that come are not what we expect or desire?

Potiphar's Wife
She was a woman of status, wealth, and power. The wife of Potiphar, an Egyptian official of high rank, lived in privilege, surrounded by luxury. Servants answered her every call, and she wanted for nothing—except, perhaps, the one thing she could not have.

A Cycle Of Vanity
The world is a cycle of power and change, where leaders rise and fall, leaving behind legacies of progress or destruction. Some bring innovation, prosperity, and hope, while others leave societies fractured, forcing future generations to pick up the pieces. This reality has persisted for centuries, but is it something that can or should change? Should individuals have the power to determine the course of the world system, or is this an inevitable pattern of human history?
