Legally Blasé
I don’t aim to use this blog to assert myself, nor to engage in political debates; all I would like is to promulgate the simple philosophy of accepting the world as it is, irrespective of its absurdities. Given that we are all teleological beings, hence the need for self-definition, still it is inevitable for the absurd to rear its head every once in a while. This is something which is futile to fight against and at the same time absurd, even inhuman, to do otherwise.
It might be viewed as one big damn it if you do, damn it if you don’t type of scene, although truth remains that none of these will ever stop man from striving to move forward- it’s our nature.
There are two ways to view the world, but I choose to stay in the middle to get a better view of either.
