Embarrassment
"Who Am I?" - The Illusion of Ego
"Who Am I?" - The Illusion of Ego The question, "Who am I?" is a timeless and profound query that every human being contemplates at some point in life. It's not just a philosophical question but a reflection of our innermost thoughts and existence. In seeking its answer, we are often hindered by our ego, a part of our psyche that shrouds our true self in layers of illusion. The ego, in essence, acts as a protective emotional shell, giving us a false sense of identity and importance, making us feel superior to others. But when examined closely, we realise that this notion of "I" is nothing but a mirage, a fleeting concept that does not define our true being. In reality, each of us is a small yet integral part of a vast, interconnected universe.

Guilty Pleasure Examples
We all have them – those activities, shows, songs, or foods that we secretly love, yet feel a little embarrassed to admit in public. They might be the kinds of things that make us feel a bit guilty, as if they don't fit the image we want to project to the world. These “guilty pleasures” are often harmless, yet provide a sense of enjoyment or comfort that we might not find in more mainstream or “respectable” choices. But why do we feel guilty about these pleasures in the first place, and what are some of the most common examples?

"I Am Good if the World is Good"
"I Am Good if the World is Good" The phrase "I am good if the world is good" reflects a universal truth: our actions, attitudes, and behaviours are often influenced by our surroundings. If we find ourselves in a world that is kind, compassionate, and supportive, we are more likely to mirror these qualities. This is a powerful idea rooted in the interconnected nature of human existence, where our individual goodness often reflects the collective goodness we experience. However, the journey to understanding this concept is complex, involving both the warmth we receive and the darkness we face in the world.

On the socioeconomics of being humane
The socioeconomics of humanness lies in the beauty of balancing the aspects of togetherness and isolation. In a world where life coincides with the duality of forces, oscillating between the forces of light and dark, beauty and hate, love and hatred, birth and death, humans are the most endearing and detrimental beings ever to exist. The prowess of intellect and communication, with the stellar mind that created the strides of evolution and lapses of civilization, is undeniably the most striking aspect of what makes humans the most resilient beings of them all.

The Journey Back Home
The road back is often familiar, yet it feels different this time. The sights you once knew carry memories, some vivid and some almost forgotten. Returning isn’t just about arriving at the destination; it’s a moment of remembering, feeling, and understanding. Each familiar path, every scent, and every breeze brings a mix of nostalgia and new realizations. Home may look the same, but the way it feels has changed.

The Last Level. Top Story - November 2024.
Sam and Alex had been best friends since they were kids, growing up in a small town where the only real escape was through a screen. They bonded over their love for video games, spending countless hours huddled together, controllers in hand, saving fictional worlds and leveling up characters that often felt more real than the lives they led outside.

The Dark Side of Corporate Greed
Let us examine the development of ethical quandaries throughout history. Imagine that Socrates, a man in ancient Greece, is ready to have a cup of hemlock because he suggested that there might be other people besides the gods who could know the answers to life's major problems. Yes, he practically died for ethics because he took them so seriously. What dedication! The moral dilemmas of the day, however, were really simple: "Should I tell the truth, even if it gets me killed?" "Should I tell the truth, even if it loses me my social media followers?" is one of the many wrinkles that have been added to the questions we still ask ourselves today. or "Is it appropriate for me to upload my brain to the cloud?"

Feelings
My friend asked me recently what I thought about him. It is a hard question to answer. I feel there were so many things that happened. Being with him is kind of respite from most of the chaos that happens around me. I don't even know if it will be ok to go to my grandma's house. I don't want to say I am using you because I care about your wellbeing.. The world calls me, death is assured. I want to be happy too, and I do like the idea of not always being terrified of things. But I know you won't take me where I need to go.
