Paradoxical Panoramas

The Love Agenda

     In a modern free world, there is an advocate of love that talked about the tragedy of homosexuality. The preach was to promote the rightful love and eliminate the sinful and fraud ones. On favorable public receptivity, it reached an overwhelming numbers of intellectual and ignorant minds. This single belief became a global movement — arousing the pros and anti. Later on, it became an ideology of the fundamental institutions of conservative culture. The selective hate for those who were loving the people of their same sex was a massive hypocrisy on the universal love they were promoting from the very beginning.

The Self Positivity

     Admit it or not, the most avid hater of ourselves is ourselves. At one time, you are having a positive self-talk and encouragement, but a minute later, you are starting to belittle yourself and your life. The critical judgment of how good or bad we are is placed upon the comparison of how good or bad other people are. This hypocritical moment perpetuates when we put tyrannical conditions before we allow ourselves to be authentically loved by ourselves.

Do you recognize that most of the time people only adore us when we do good, and despise when otherwise? This is exactly how society do to us that we actually apply to ourselves in our daily living.

The Illusion of Time

     Time is a concept that indicates the occurrence of something. It tells us the before, during, and after scenes of a process. Its utility as a social construct brings a mutual understanding in our daily communication. However, have we already unraveled the mystery of its very true nature? Does it only exist because we, humans, think it exist?  Or is its existence naturally happening?

Let us discuss aging, which is under the concept of time. Truth be told, age is an indication of the length of our existence, yet the confusion rises when we question the process of it. Does aging happen because of time? Do millions of minutes and hours have an effect on our bodies? Or is aging just a product of maturation that is genetically programmed in our DNA? Some wild guesses to these questions are that time happens and has an indirect impact to our physicality. But the satisfaction of curiosity will long be satiated. We are still from the reach of pure reality. Just like the existence of  “mind and self”, time is not yet proven existing.

Note: My friends helped me in arriving to certain assumptions about the third topic. I gathered their opinions and integrate it to my ideas. The brainstorming process was really great in generating valuable ideas. I credit Jerik and Jerica for helping me on “The Illusion of Time”. Thank you!
