Random rants 2

Our existence is all the more precious and sweeter for its fragility.

It is perversely funny that through the course of human history, more people have been killed in the name of God than for any other cause – testimony to our limitless ignorance.

Nobility necessitates, to varying degrees, acting counter to Darwinism – what remains to be seen is whether it is a fatal flaw or redeeming virtue.

Human perception is inherently relative, a fact we often forget. The only way we are able to perceive the absolute is through the absence of stimulus.

That all knowledge beyond that of one’s own existence is at some level or the other, based on arbitrary assumption(s) is a fact seldom recognized.

The principle of moderation is applicable to everything - everything but chocolate.

While one may think he knows himself from years of temperate existence, he can only be sure after having stared into oblivion from the very edge of the precipice.

Hedonism is for those too naïve to comprehend the nature of happiness.
