We are a working class. We have no time for leisure. We have left an era behind, where idealness fostered philosophy, arts, and innovation. More and more we are living a matchbox kind of life. Our 24/7 we are running like a machine: Wake up, eat, work, work and more work, eat, sleep. Getting a …

Respect
Why do we have to crave for respect? Why do we need respect? Who are we to decide or ask for respect? You get respect with your virtue, your contribution to this universe for the greater good. Why does one has to treat his employees like a dog or his maid like a slave and …
Significance
It is amazing how we humans think about ourselves and crave for our significance. It can be any social structure: job, family or religion. We don’t realize that our significance in this compared vast universe is meaningless. We accumulate wealth or crave for respect, love Et all. To be significant one requires more than wealth …
Anxiety
I have been under anxiety for the past few weeks. Most of it was fueled because of overthinking. I was not able to sleep, felt very tired and sad.

Like the inferiority complex, the superiority complex comes to someone for his/her urge to cease power and respect. One cannot get over the Superiority complex unless he/she stops craving for things in his/her way. With our cravings and urge …
Talking
The easiest thing is giving assurance. Some people are just good at it. How much impact it makes in life, they don’t care. Be very careful with picking someone as your last resort, it can hurt and make you weak. Those who help don’t speak much, they keep giving without expectation.
Opportunity Cost
Being sad or living a miserable life is a choice. The reason for it could be anything from a job to a relationship. I find it weird when people crib about their toxic work environment and how they are barely keeping up with their health. In the same conversation they mention, pay is great so …
Fear
While reading “Age of Propaganda”, I came across the subject of fear. It talks about how to generate fear on a group or individuals. These are some well-known trick marketers, politicians and preachers have been using. A fear appeal is most effective when: It scares the hell out of people It offers a specific recommendation …
