Butterflies in a Wheel

                To live life authentically, we have to make the decision of our lives in every moment but once we commit it into action let it be thus the action the will eternally repeat because we know that it is worthy of repeating. Life is a cycle, we start at one point and we end somewhere but there is always the return to the beginning. It will then become boring if it keeps on repeating, but nothing excites us more of the repetition of the events worth of repeating. We then live life creating decisions that we wish to repeat all throughout eternity, never shall they bore us.

                Let me speak of the two butterflies in the wheel. In the beginning there were two butterflies who knew not each other but lived independently in their own wheels, flapping their wings moving the wheel to reach the point of repeating their decisions of a lifetime, but every time they endeavour the wheel broke and left no abode for the butterflies to flap on. As these wheels broke, they flew and flew until both of them simultaneously found a wheel. They both raced towards the wheel trying to find a home, but it seems that both arrived at the wheel at the same time, and also finding the comfort of being two in one wheel.  They then decided to flap their wings together making the wheel move slowly and slowly. As they move the wheel together they found a bond between themselves that they are tied together knowing that this wheel is theirs to fulfil. They have spent a lot of time and effort moving the wheel, but amidst the labour is the companionship together at work, focused on the same wheel.

                The butterflies find the labour of life worthwhile because they become comfortable flapping their wings by each other’s side inside a wheel they chose. The spokes of wheel are slowly returning as they flap from the very first time they came together at the wheel, their endeavour is slowly at the point of repetition, the time measured from the very union they made. They are now slowly smiling as they flap and flap knowing that they have come to a return of which their previous lives bear no return. Return to the very bond that they came to be, but not as broken as they were before, but returning to the very time they came to be as one. A revisit of the beginning.  Union made the butterflies fulfil the return of the spoke. At-one-ness they made a decision of a lifetime worthy of repeating.  Almost there, almost there cried happily the two butterflies, but let us not stop they say, let us not keep it to one, let this endeavour be forever. I chose to flap and move the wheel of life together with you my pair butterfly, let us continuously move the wheel together, forever! Love! Love! Love! Let us continue to turn the wheel, venture the labour of love, only to revisit the fact in that decisive point that we became one!




                Love of two butterflies in one wheel, smiling for they are seeing for the first time of the return of the spoke of the first movement. Never will they stop at the first return, but they have committed themselves to make it return without cease.  These butterflies will live their lives authentically, beautifully for they chose a decision in their life worth of repeating, and that is their love. Not because it ended and is needed to repeat, but it repeated without end, a repeat of the time of beginning but every repetition is the manifold of growth, a bond beginning to be stronger and stronger as the spokes kept on moving until time ends, the wheel will continue to turn and the butterflies will continue to flap.

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 reflection and b) secondary reflection. Reflection for Marcel is “nothing other than attention, i.e. directed towards this sort of small break

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 and do

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 actions. In this paper then, I will explicate Bertrand
