Why do we miss our childhood?

This is my Story.

In tonight's late chat, I ponder about how boredom haunts us and I take a look of at the essence of boredom and whether there is a philosophical cure to boredom by drawing upon Arthur Schopenhauer's work.

In this evening chat, I ponder on the power of beliefs. Beliefs have incredible power to shape our societies and our very lives. Yet we have never really stopped to think whether the beliefs we carry are actually good for us. Even if we wanted to do that, how would we know which beliefs are good or bad? Is there a proper approach to this? I share some thoughts drawn from my reading of Abu Nasr Al-Farabi.

In this evening chat, I take a look at whether our online personas and identities are really an accurate extension of us and who we are. Often times we are told that people are fake online; in truth, there is much more to be explored in how we define ourselves. We will look at the work of Erving Goffman and William James in our discussions.

Life can be chaotic. Through the chaos, we often feel lost, confused and challenged. Yet surprisingly, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche urged us to embrace and welcome the chaos as a prerequisite to true living.
