The Slavemaster
We come into this world and are immediately inundated by the great weight of commitments, obligations, responsibilities, goals, ambitions… We go to school so that it kills our creativity and then we go to college so that we can slave for others. We get paid a lot or a little but we do submit. The …
Glimmer Of Meaning Is Far More Compelling Then Either Greed Or Need Is
We are nothing but hopeless drunks. Our drug – the MEANING. We do everything for the MEANING. Any meaning. We just want something, anything, to believe in. We do everything for any meaning. We might be fooled to believe that our motivations really are prosaic – that we are just a GREEDY bunch, …

You Can’t Seek Freedom Ambitiously
Why all this ambition? You want to be something. And you want something for yourself. Hence you go on achieving and struggling and grappling. Surely, all this effort, all this commitment, all those obligations, surely this all is very restricting, very confining. You can’t realise all your many fixed goals without adhering to them, …
Modesty Is An Ideal Created By Immodest People
Who would you even talk about modesty? What happens with the modesty when you crate an ideal out of it, when you make a virtue out of it? When modesty is a virtue, an end, a goal, does it not simply become a prideful mean of self-expansion? All this talk about modesty, all …
