“God doesn’t need to shout when whispering is enough” is an ongoing refrain that I’ve employed in some of my essays over the course of the past year or so. Why? I’m not entirely sure, but I am inclined to lean towards the simplest of explanations and attribute it to divine intervention, but that wouldContinue reading “Power in a whisper – An epiphany”

Who is keeping track?
The polysemy of life is overwhelming, but at the very least it is consistently, inconsistent. Our attempts at conquest… The concept that we can tame that which we don’t truly understand is haughtiness at its best. Time is an example. We wear watches, mount clocks and we even have it emblazoned on our smartphones. OstensiblyContinue reading “Who is keeping track?”
Foundations – An epiphany

Breasts, abdominals, buttocks, hair… But the brain, why would anyone waste their time onContinue reading “Epiphanies: Enhancements, implants and futility”
The start of the ending
The greatest crime is complacency of thought, in this vaccum lives a dearth of wisdom, which is an inhospitable environment for it to flourish. The quest to push past boundaries that endeavor to incarcerate and murder what could be evolutionary steps, is often treated as an optional pursuit. I’ve born witness to many a rantContinue reading “The start of the ending”
What is enough?
Consistency… Man’s inhumanity towards man. I always marvel at how quickly the fires of vitriol are extinguished. The finger unfurls itself from its accusatory position and lies, flaccid as if it wasn’t casting blame just moments before. How the shadows of duplicity make themselves known in the glare of light. Silence is sanction and aContinue reading “What is enough?”
