The Hope

Relationships can be severed and there are a lot of reasons why. Yet for me it is not because of a third party, but it is because there is a withholding of freedom. Love is one beautiful thing but in the hands of the obsessed or possessive it is dangerous. To the one who this love is bestowed at first offers a gleam of hope towards salvation from the things she wished to run away from, but now I have become the reason why she has to run away. I played with fire and I consumed it all the way until it was extinguished and now I suffer from the consequence.

I know she likes the butterfly and I know she is one. She wishes to fly freely of the direction of her choice, and stupid of me to snip her wings and furthermore added salt to wound, I caged her. I was just a fool who took her intent when I met her a year ago that she wishes to go outside of the tyranny of her abode, but she wished to go back there and also to reconnect with her friends to whom I have sever the bond with for my romantic tyranny.


I guess we have to part ways to heal what was so severely pressed upon, but deep inside my heart I long for her, I had made my word that she is the one. But let it be this time that she is yet to fly, to roam around the world in free spirit, to explore much to know ourselves more, to love ourselves more before coming back to love each other again. I understand. I have been much of a cage, I am sorry, and I hope I am still the one you will run into again when that time comes. I only but hope. Hope is all I have.

LAND ETHICS

ON ALDO LEOPOLD’S LAND ETHIC                Most of the ethical theories deal with principles concerning rightness or wrongness that govern human interaction with other humans. Less has been the case for how humans should interact with the environment. Thus, Aldo Leopold puts forward land ethics as a layout for humanity’s relationship with the land.                Inasmuch as establishing principles of interaction between humans and the environment, it is a hard task to do since there is a need to reframe a dominating instrumentalist perspective that humans have i.e., objects are in use and should be used to achieve happiness. Part of the disposables to cater human happiness is the environment of which humans still see as a property (for consumption) rather than a coequal such as how ethical theories have always looked at humans with each other ...

Article Review on Elinita Garcia's "Gabriel Marcel: Primary and Secondary Reflection"

Summary:             Gabriel Marcel is a known French existentialist. His co-Frenchman, Jean-Paul Sartre, distinguished existentialism into two which were coined as  atheistic  and  theistic  (Christian) wherein Sartre did mention Marcel as part of the latter in lecture on Existentialism a Humanism . Marcel is a Christian existentialist because he included the divine even amidst the infamous perception of existentialism as godless. Moreover, he is also known for his non-systematic philosophy where he pointed out that the philosophical discipline starts from where one is (referring to the particularity of the situation); therefore, it is not from metaphysical assumptions or already laid down theories.             Marcel’s thoughts talk about the importance and the necessity of reflection wherein he divides it into two as a) primary reflectio...

Bertrand Russell and the Sense of Sin

Introduction             Ethics is this study of what is good and what is bad and throughout the course of history it had also its shares of disputes and animosities. But beneath all of it is that ethics is a means in order to arrive at happiness or the good life. Because we have to act correspondingly or in a certain manner wherein we can get to attain harmony within ourselves especially regarding to our conscience or in harmony with others in order to keep relationships or ultimately to preserve one’s self or to attain such security whether externally and that is in relation with others or internally or personal satisfaction. Our actions are guided by principles of which we take actions correspondingly but the question lies what then are these principles and sometimes we go back to our way of understanding or our metaphysical assumptions wherein we garner from these in order to make way into how we conduct ourselves in our ...
