Nausea

Disgusted. Lightheaded. At times, in want to vomit. Slept less or overslept, still, the body moves out of routine. No life. No motivation. “Education is a mission.” Tell that to the walking corpse. The flame slowly fading whilst ash piling up from the first kindle. Eyes that see colors and objects only – no meaning, just things. Brain activity as usual. Thoughts fail to astonish anymore. Could be Solomon’s dread?

Sisyphus’ labor. Blood and sweat all for a measly play of inertia. I hear sounds, not words. I utter. Just vibrations and associations, nothing awe-inspiring. People are there like the air I breathe – effortlessly there. Cannot feel envy from their smiles ever since I rarely have some as I tell myself: “what’s the point?”. In want to remember the first kindle. In want to burn again for the world.

Tired yet living. Dragging one’s matter to meet the clock only to rest for another day of exploitation. Sisyphus willed himself to be. Hesitant to abandon the labor he only knew. Afraid to step up as the world is not promising as it is. Tied to his ideologies turning to illusions. Yet, in want to feel the novelty, even the sting of euphoria.

Appears, functions, delivers, and executes. Made new associations with bodies soon to deteriorate. Jived with the pretentious wannabees and sincere servants. Cannot even become the negative to the obvious static that needs contradicting as the boulder simply keeps rolling down as it reaches the peak.

Bound in a cycle losing sense. Bound to motion without will. Freedom turns to farce as it dissolves within this broken machinery. In the beginning, resistance is strong against being a cog. Now, the machine dehumanizes, stripping awe, novelty, and will as actions no longer bring fruit as the machine cuts them by the bud.

Momentarily allow me to prevent straightforwardness of my language. Bare tongue has given no new thought and maybe these allusions will as I try to scrape from the bottom of my existence for that first kindle.

Fin?

  Last 2012, there were hearts on fire that both had their first shared flame in an unlikely place. I was thirsty for love coming from being dormant while she was searching for a redemption from a series of broken hearts. Both struggled to find their place. Both trying to live their lives free from the hideous chains of a dark home. I must admit that I fell for her beauty and add to that, her care. As we both clasped our hands, it was a committed long shot to have the perfect rest for our hearts. It was a bit strange to have an affair under the noses of all that is forbidden both profession and a line of faith. Nothing was wrong as long both were in the ecstasy of love – no malice, no foul play, no trespassing of wills. That moment was a perfect episode in a romantic film – one where young love sprang amidst treacherous circumstances. We lived through the happiness of newfound belongingness and the battle of keeping that alive. 4 years before the wedlock were filled with ups an...

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...

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 ...
