Well, I made all the questions of my ideas on the headline of this composition.
So now all what is left here is to take these questions one by one. And express our thinking by putting these questions on the table of philosophy. And thus explain as such ideas, like people of wisdom do. That is through thinking and creating.
Hence, I ask, Why altruism?
Here, first of all let us indicate what do we mean by the word 'altruism?'
The concept of Altruism comes from the Italian concept of altrui, that means someone else. And that is derived from the Latin concept, ‘alter.’ That means, other.
So, altruism is an image or idea that brings in my mind the image of Jean Paul Sartre, and his philosophy of “The Other.” That in certain points of the meaning of his thinking says, 'I'm the other and the other is me.” A philosophy that is somehow like that famous expression of Buddha that says, “One in all and all in one.”
Now, at this point of thinking, we see that the East and the West become one through altruism. For, the Western philosophy of the other of Sartre and the oneness of Buddha of the East here, in the altruist thinking or philosophy, become ‘one oneness’ within another oneness in the oneness of the oneness of nothingness within the nothingness of somethingness.
So I ask, “Is the other I and am I the other?
Here, by making this question, we intend to penetrate deep in the human consciousness. Deep in the mysteries of the human mind. And deep in the unknown and philosophy. For at this point of thinking, we enter into the inconceivable that is only slightly perceptible. And we enter or dive in the slightly perceptible thinking that looks like ‘the imperceptible.’
And I say that or think so by withdrawing my reason from this question that ask continually my thinking mind: Can I be like the other? And can the other be like me? Can we be one in all and all in one in any way of thinking?
My answer is this.
I think that we are...
Do you remember that value that our forefathers and our ancestors praised historically so high? That values that they raised up to the skies and glorified heroically and with great heroism. That value that they compared with the gods of the beyond worlds and the light of the bright stars. You remember it, don't you, dear folks of the today?
From Zarathustra of the East to the Socrates of the West, from Aristotle to Nietzsche and from the latter till now all these great humans of the past times have spoken with such a great pleasure, great love and great virtuosity about the
Now even though many rational philosophers came to the conclusion that we have a free will. And therefore we can choose what to do with our lives ourselves.
Still, many of them did not consider the conditions and the circumstances of our lives or our world, when thinking of Free Will.
So, today many western men and women think that they have a choice. They think that they have a free will. And therefore they can choose what to think and what to do! And no one can tell them this. Right?
They think that they can choose to work or to rest. They think that they can choose their companions based on love. And they think that they can choose their careers based on merit! They think that they can choose to become heroes or scoundrels and so on.
Do you ever think that you chose your career because of merit or because of luck or because you grovelled well, and did what they told you to do?
Do you ever think that you really choose your companion because of the feeling of love or because of one's social status and perhaps because of a predefined cultural thinking? That in turn controls your conscious thinking all the time without you even understanding why or how!
Now to begin with my answer. In a world where state power makes the rules for all to follow. It can be fairly and justly said that this world is....
Slavery Is Abolished in the UK. Is it?
History tells us that slavery predates written records. And it has existed in many cultures, many places, many countries and amid many tribes and many races. Beautiful. How beautiful that it is. Isn’t it, dear folks?
However, one who works in Britain for £6.50 per hour, like I do, may say "that I’m not a slave. He may say it with a lazy London accent ‘nah!’ As another one may say it in a strict foreign accent ‘no!’ Or in a mediocre slow-motion, swollen, puffy accent ‘no wayyyy man! That’s not true, no, not at all man, I’m not a slave!’ One among many different people of London may say!
And I wonder, can we change their minds if we tell them a few things about the evil genius philosophy of the wise and of the clever that use antique but unique mirrors to reflect the past and create the present?
If we tell them that human history is all about master and slaves, all about the oppressed and the oppressors, the exploited and the exploiters and nothing has changed?
Can we change their minds if we tell them how today masters coax the simple people out with £6.50 per hour, when £6.50 costs a bottle of water in some shops, bars and pubs in London town and around? Then…
Let me tell you that the incomes of the working class people is only enough to survive in London. For high bills, high living standers, broken dreams, broken hearts and modern slavery is all what we see.
So sometimes I think that it is a beautiful thing to be a thinking subject. To think and reflect being. And especially, it is beautiful to desire to reflect in the within and in the without your being.
For we need to think and reflect and wake people up. For slavery is a historical problem.
And history tells us, that slavery was prevalent in more or less every ancient civilization, and society, including Sumer, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greeks, Assyria, the Hebrew kingdoms in Palestine, Ancient China, the Akkadian Empire, Assyria, Ancient India, the Roman Empire, the Islamic Caliphate, and the pre-Columbian civilizations of the Americas.
Well, now we know that slavery has been...
Let us begin the philosophy of this religion by saying that the fathers of all religions were but creative writers or thinkers.
That is, people who learnt in different ways, thought and created.
Now with what I just stated, I do not intend to hurt the feelings of anyone but simply state the truth. And truth even though sometimes hurts, it must not be a shame nor should we feel fear to express it.
For truth is a value of human existence, and without truth the human existence has no meaning. For that form of existence would be based on lies, manipulation and murder or perpetual wars.
Thus, it comes to pass that the historical thinking of humanity show us that people believed in different ideas. And in terms of religious thought, these different ideas can be translated as different religions.
Now somehow different religions have different...
And life confided the secret to me: behold, it said, I am that which must always overcome itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Many people live through subconsciously rather than consciously. For what they have learnt in life has fed their subconscious thinking with things that they did not consider important.
However, when these people come to the fore of social interaction, all what they show is what they have learnt and that they did not consider important. But that however, as such form of knowledge invaded their subconscious thinking. And slept there for ages.
But also, even those who live consciously and are always in the action of learning what is new and different make mistakes.
And absorb wrong and prejudiced theories. And this is evident with authors who take certain books and authors as absolute truths. And soon fall into the trap of prejudice themselves.
Hence, I think that in all walks of life and in life itself, there is always something to overcome.
And it is overcoming ourselves that presupposes becoming ourselves.
Nietzche said, for example, that man is an animal that must be overcome.
And this does not mean that man is an animal. More exactly Nietzche meant that in man is the animal value inside.
Like for example, the animal feelings, the brutality of man, the arrogance of man, the hawkish pride of man, and so on with other negative values of man.
Hence, to overcome a bad feeling, a....
Imagine yourself naked in the middle of nature. With no clothes whatsoever on you. No strange hats, no glasses, no pants and not even tree leaves to cover your private parts.
And then ask, Who am I? Perhaps you are a human being that is made of elementary particles like all other animate and inanimate beings in being?
That's an honest way of thinking to express the human being question.
However, the fact that we are made of elementary particles like anything else in being does not tell us who we are or what we should know.
Hence that is why we need to know ourselves well.
However, to know yourself as a...
Imperialism is moving from war to war like ancient barbaric warring tribes.
Yet, there is no humanity available to stop as such waring greedy imperialists of the today.
And this pain once more asks for responsibility for those politics of those imperialist nations that create the pain.
What pain? you ask.
The Wiki Leaks has disclosed that the U.S.A has been in interesting to overthrow the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria since the 2006. And the U.S.A has done so by using the State Department to give as much as $6 million since 2006 to an exiled Syrian group of people. That are called, the Movement for Justice and Development, a London-based network of Syrian exiles.
And in deeper details the U.S.A seems to want to stir hatred among different ethnicities, like Kurds. So to create hate and violent protests to overthrow the Assad regime.
Specifically, diplomatic messages released by the Wikileaks note that;
“The most organized and daring political opposition and civil society groups are among the ethnic minority Kurds, concentrated in Syria,s northeast, as well as in communities in Damascus and Aleppo. This group has been willing to protest violently in its home territory when others would dare not.”
From above we see clearly an interest by the U.S.A politics to stir hatred in Syria and create conflicts that serve to the U.S.A POLITICS.
We also see that the group of Syrian exiles operate a...
