THOUGHTS OF DESPAIR


(PS. I am sick. I am tired. Hopelessness dwell. The poet speaks)


How much are our lives worth just to keep other’s joys worth?
Since we did not choose to be born, they tell us death is not ours to make.
Is it true liberation to be free from the shackles of fate?
Fate not for us neither by our own hands, but from and for those upon our heads they stand.
Life is supposed to be a gift, yet pain is constant and we cling to our grit.
We were programmed to live, but on how to do it is worth of grief.
They tell us to eat, to relax for tomorrow is another day upon the rack.
They our captains, we their crew. I could have choke myself in the womb if I only knew.
Yet, nurture, love, care are all but a virus. To support life as a disease. Malignant, contagious.
Why is it that we yearn for a smile? We yearn for laugh? We are all going to die anyways.
Why continue on breathing? Why can we not will this impulse to live? We are condemned to go on.
Ironic. When we are about to end ourselves quick, life flashes to tell us and gives us a nasty prick.
Do not die yet. There is more meaning. There is happiness. Up ahead is a new beginning.
We intoxicate ourselves with existential purpose, yet we live by the day usurped. Purpose is a lie.
A lie we create to give color to this absurd reality. How foolish we are to wishfully evade the inevitable.
Earn this, work hard they say. Sadly, the step to the life worth living now has a price. Humanity is one.
Who keeps their sanity in a routine that lasts a lifetime? On a desk we rot. On our dying corpse they profit.
Have a break they say. Yet, come back if you want to stay. If you do not, we slowly and painfully die while being astray.
Challenges come and define you. We will triumph. More lies. Look at those on top, they have made it!
At our expense. Their ingenious machinations thrived coming from the constant of childbirth.
Romanticized as love making, horrified as unwanted sex towards unwanted pregnancy.
Our bodies are living sacrifices, for our blood greases the gears of the engine they erected.
Time has become an enemy, work has become its equivalence. Do not work, and our time ends.
Time can be bought, happiness is a moment. Travel is a luxury in the moment. All is time.
The malevolent genius made time a race, not for them. Their luxury is giving them bliss. While suffering seems like eternity.
How time flies fast with every smile. How slow it is when we endure.
Life is a blessing to those who are too high with purpose and to those who stack the cards.
We who labored for their enjoyment live in a curse. Call it service they say. I say, usurper!
Life is this for me. Work! Art has died. Worth is now based on pleasing the master.
There is no more day that I wake up in bliss. I wake up not to live, but to be used and abused.
What is there to live when all we do is give? Life drains, other people drain you.
Charity is a virtue; kindness is an acceptable gesture. How can I continue to give if I have none?
What have I to give if I have none? They want this corpus? It is of best revenge when I will not let them have it.
Imagine we all burn ourselves! Who will be their slaves? They will learn to crawl the shithole with no one to use.
Life is a gift, not to us but to them. Make us pay for holistic improvement for their benefit. Then let us level the stake by burning one stakeholder.
The wheel turns because the other half is there. It cannot when the other half is gone.
They tell us again that life is beautiful! I say, death is the ultimate bliss. No more pain, no more happiness. Just nothing.
Longing for the other side of the coin just brings us to the possibility to land on the unwanted side. The coin has to be removed. There, no sides.
What is an empire without subjects? If all infants can kill themselves in the womb. Then we evade the fact of pain with a possibility of momentary happiness.
I am tired. I am morbid. I am dark. I am desperate. My grim thoughts are what comprises the nimbus in my head.
Let me retire, let me retreat. Sadly, I cannot. I am yet to live. Just live. All I can give. Until I am nothing more.

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
