Exclamations!-1

 (Here I don’t exactly mean what I say. But hint at why & how things are tricky.)

1) Every Philosopher has a point. But he tends to make too much out of it!

2) The Prima Facie Dilemma of Spiritual Pursuit 

a. In order to thrive you have to strive.

b. Precisely because you strive, you automatically deprive yourself from  

     the bliss.  

c. In order to get rid of striving as such, you have to relinquish thriving

d. For relinquishing thriving you have to strive much harder

e. Therefore bliss is a theoretical impossibility.

3) Predicament of Perfectionism

      a. The Best is the worst enemy of the Good

      b. Good is always better than No Good

      c. No Good is as ‘Bad’ as Bad

4) You simply not ‘ought to’ do something when you ‘have to’ do it   

     anyway.

5) It is better to become dogmatic at early age & painfully come out of it, so

    that you become critical but not ‘neutral’. Such early age dogmatism, is

    an inoculation against ‘chronic dogmatism.’

6) Skepticism toils for raising doubt & Mysticism reaps the ‘benefit(s) of  

    doubt’.

7) East & West are both utilitarian (believing that pleasures & sufferings can

    be aggregated & Sum can be controlled). The difference is that they try

    to maximize pleasure & we try to minimize suffering.

8) How to reconcile between creationism & evolutionism? 

    Evolution is such a costly experiment that only God can afford it.
