Dying to Hear


              If one truly speaks from the abundance of the heart, then words are not too much to ask for. If the heart is empty, then silence echoes. Letters are the thin fabric that binds distant hearts and with all trust let it be the truth. A truth, not simply outright in complacency to please the other but a truth that projects the heartfelt thoughts. Hearing what one ought to hear can be manipulated with lies and if truth be told in such manner, myriad deception or absence of presence occurs. However, if one ought to hear what truly is meant by the speaker, then there is no other window to where the connection is evident.

              I am troubled and lost at times for actual presence is at bay. I do not wish to delude myself with my own echoes, but let those be coming from you. Your lips taste sweet and your body warm, but words comfort the soul. A vessel without the within is an empty husk. If it be wine, water or piss then let me drink either through my ears.

              My heart’s desires and my thoughts speak often to remind who am I to you. A delicate touch could compensate but not now. Touch me with words. Let me know what am I to you. Render yourself naked before me by speaking. Please do speak without veils. I yearn for your thoughts.

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 ...
