A philosopher is first a philosuffer



One who faces the  onslaughts of questions in their most cruel sense. Carrying the brunt of heat on his mind, body and life, he just does not sit to ponder, pondering is his way of life, his very mode of being which too stands in his question box, he walks with problems, inhales questions, exhales anxieties but feels enriched and joyous. Why is there something rather than nothing?, what is the other/opposite/frame of reference of universe/everything? what is time? what is space? what is unconscious? What is universal or particular? What is the absolute ground of ethics? how do we know what we know? what is a self?.....and so on.....he shouts, cries, faints, gets up, proves himself sane to the family and to his fellow beings, earns somehow to make his 'living', dances at being listened by wise, feels like going 'underground' at being encountered by the 'genius' ,complacent'experienced/enlightened'  preaching morons....but ........he dares to live...he is a philosopher. 

Questions !


Humans ought to be critical  to live with  questions and courageous enough to die with some.

A poem by Goldy Sidhu





ਕਾਂ ਪਿਆਸੇ ਇੱਕ -ਇੱਕ ਚੁਣਕੇ,ਵਿੱਚ ਘੜੇ ਦੇ ਜੋ ਸੁੱਟੇ ,
ਘੜੇ ਦਾ ਪਾਣੀ ਪੀ ਰਹੇ,ਓਹੀ ਕੰਕਰ ਮਿਲੇ.

ਬੰਜਰਾਂ ਤੇ ਬਰਸਣ ਦੀ ,ਆਸ ਫਿਰ ਮੈਂ ਕੀ ਰਖਾਂ,
ਪਰਬਤਾਂ ਦੀ ਚਾਹ ਜੇਕਰ,ਪਾਣੀਆਂ ਅੰਦਰ ਮਿਲੇ.

ਚਾਨਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਟੋਲਦੇ ,ਹਨ ਰਾਖ ਜੁਗਨੂੰ ਹੋ ਗਏ,
ਘਰ ਬਣਾਉਂਦੇ ਆਦਮੀ,ਹੋ ਗਏ ਖੰਡਰ ਮਿਲੇ.

ਇਸ ਤਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਰੋਜ ਮੈਂ, ਕਿੰਨੇ ਹੀ ਪੰਛੀ ਵੇਖਦਾਂ,
ਜਿੰਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਰ ਮਿਲੇ, ਪਰਵਾਜ ਲਈ ਨਾ ਅੰਬਰ ਮਿਲੇ.
-goldy

newtonian impotence





How would a Newtonian explain his impotence?
" I am not impotent, it's just gravity at its best '

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
