Political parties are the equivalent to Bruce Lee’s ‘classical mess.’ Political parties, unfortunately, are a necessity in any system of representative-style government (as opposed to monarchies, dictatorships, etc.). It is easier to get things done when the power of numbers are behind you. Because of this, the most natural evolution of such a system invariably […]Read Post ›
Stop dismissing people who think differently than you on something, because you probably have more in common with them than you think. Strive for unity, rather than division. No two people will ever think alike on everything. It is simply not possible.

The principle of justice extends to all manners of deliberation with regards to politics, ethics, etc. It will become evident, after reviewing the essence of […]Read Post ›
Twelve people were murdered in Paris today in the name of religious extremism. This post will be concise, as I simply want to penetrate the heart of the matter. The question that always materializes out of atrocity is two-pronged: why, and how do we stop it. I will answer both. The why is no harder […]Read Post ›
