Philosophy is useless, without real life to practice on.

Where are the "science missionaries" reaching out to the needy and poor, and offering food, clothing, shelter and a better life for becoming skeptics and scientists!

Rationality is only a tool and not a rule of life. 

Life is worth living for all the irrational reasons.

Sometimes life doesn't give you a second chance. You take the second, third and forth chances for that matter.

Worry and guilt are the upmost sins of life. They paralyze human judgement and lead us to chaos. 

You have to be careful in life, but life should not just be about being careful.

The purpose of life

I have often wondered what truly is the purpose of my life. What is the right way to live or is there really a right way to live? What am I supposed to do and what I am not? Why do I feel like doing somethings and not do others? Again am I looking for someone to tell me or order me what to do?

People have tried to answer some of these questions through spirituality, religion, politics, science and what not. I am not convinced and most of them don't make full sense to me. All of them are vague and tend to fulfill their propaganda of gaining power and control. It should also be pointed that these systems provide us with order and base in the mind. Imagine a mind with no fixed ideas or rules ..... its going to be heavily indecisive and in extreme cases maddening. I find a lot things taught to me to be wrong, but it should be credited to these wrong lessons that have taught me to distinguish between right and wrong and given me some sense of truth. You first learn the wrong lesson and then learn that it is wrong.

I feel the purpose of one's life lies within oneself. I am the authority to decide my purpose. This purpose may or may not bring good to society, but again I am the authority to decide. To me life is pointless. Nihilism is perhaps the more appropriate word to describe my conclusion. To me there is no true goal or destiny in life. Its simply what you choose to be and want to do.... till you die... which is perhaps one's true final destination.... we will die one day - naturally or un-naturally.... until someone finds a cure to that.... which will raise a whole new bunch of paradoxical dilemmas.

Every turn in my life begins with a shock. I need a better suspension system.

Human intelligence and stupidity go side by side. We are all intellects and idiots at the same time, but in different contexts of our lives.

There are just too many won'ts, can'ts and don'ts shielding all the dos in life.
