Logic, Philosophy and Moral Values

Philosophy is a logical interpretation of moral values . It is an interconnection of moral and logic, combining moral values with logic or we can say that philosophy is a logical conclusion of moral values. Philosophy without moral is a vehicle without engine to drive, logic behind the philosophy is the fuel which drives it in motion. In today's environment where moral value and philosophy is looked down as being old fashioned, unscientific theories which do not have any place in today's fast paced societies. This is what most of us who lead a busy life in modern comfortable world think, the actual people who form this society at large. In this article 'Logical Philosophy of Moral Values' I'm not talking to libraries, universities, students of philosophy and a few intellectuals who already know more than what I ever think of knowing, for them philosophy is still a contemporary subject of there lives, they live with this philosophy as a subject and object, but ...

Role of Difficulties and Problems in Our Life

Image
Everything that happens in our life plays an important role in shaping our future and present. Difficulties and problems too have a positive as well as negative aspect on our life . They also act as a calibrating tool, a rating system of our life. Big players face bigger problems and small players face small problem but each one of them sees and treats them in somewhat similar fashion. Every difficult situation or problem that we solve or cross successfully increases our individual ranking in life and adds to our list of achievements in life besides boosting our confidence level and morale to tackle such situation in future. DIFFICULTIES AND PROBLEMS ARE NOT FORCED BUT NATURAL Life is a continuous process, a journey. The moment we cease to move with life is the moment life ceases to exist. Look at non-living objects, life less things around us, they don't react to anything, they are not perturbed with changing environment, degrading situations because life isn't supported wi...

Happiness Is A Decision

Image
Is happiness a decision , something that we have to decide or is it just pure fate. Is this something that we have to decide i.e., whether we want to accept our present situation and circumstances as they are without doing anything or even looking for a solution or we accept each one of them and decide to work on them and then start working on some solution. Anything that happens or will happen depends on our current decisions to some extent. If we are serious with our life then we can make some changes now and then whenever we feel something is not going right. This can be applied to every sphere of our life whether its our personal life, home, family, job, career, studies, business. A positive decision always brings a positive result which means an everlasting happiness . We all know what is good or bad for us, we read, we watch, we hear and we learn more ways, better options which can be included in our life, to add a new dimension to our life, to further improve quality of...

Philosophy of Honesty

Image
Honesty Is Our Natural Choice   The truth needs so little rehearsal.  ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams Honesty is a natural choice, its natural to be honest. We love to be honest and praise those who love honesty. Even today nothing has changed when it comes to natural human choice, we try to suppress this natural inclination by giving a number of justification to our own self and to those who ask us why? Today when nature is distancing itself from us, we have a number of issues with nature such as global warming, protection from Sunshine (we have teared the Natural Protecting System called Ozone), endangered species, pollution in air, water and food. Along with these we have also polluted or natural thinking process, we no more believe in nature the way we used to, today we love (or pretend to love) artificial, processed, covered things, whether its new, views, water, food or even air. We can't drink untreated water as we fear pollutants, so is the case with other th...

Role of Happiness in A Meaningful Life?

Image
Every form of life on this planet is meaningful . Even if we don't consider ourselves as an important part of this planet/universe, the environment that we live in, that supports our lives, this fact (whether we are important part or not) remains unperturbed. Whether we consider ourselves to be very important or not important at all, things remain as they are. Just like an ocean filled with water, which is nothing but drops of water containing other minerals. Each drop of water in the ocean has some role to play and they are playing there role in there community called ocean. Each of them has characteristic similar to the ocean or we can say that ocean has characteristic similar to each drop of water it contains. If there is no water there is no ocean, and if there are no drops, there is no water. Meaning of Life Meaning of life for each one of us depends on the role we play in our life, in our family, in our society, at work. Even if we are not aware of our role we are still ...

Philosophy Happiness

Happiness seems to be an art of living . It is available to those who seek it. Today we have all forms of comforts available at our disposal but we are not able to enjoy them, earlier before renaissance i.e. industrialization things were quiet simple to understand and follow, now a days things have become very complicated. Today we have good beds but we are not always able to enjoy sleep (a part of our society is today suffering from sleeping disorder). Today we have enough food but we don't find it appetizing. We have 24 hours in a day but we can't find even half an our to relax, to enjoy freedom. Why has this happened, why are we unable to enjoy the way nature and wild animal, insects, plants and flowers enjoy life. Philosophy of happiness seems to be independent of external factors , happiness is not dependent on resources or comforts in life, its beyond these factors. You can read more on happiness in previous posts philosophy of happiness , where can we find happiness ,

Where Can We Find Happiness?

Image
In Search of Happiness How do we find happiness and where? There is no definite place where one can find happiness. There is no single abode for happiness either its available to everyone everywhere or for someone it is nowhere. Its strange but its true. Anyway, we are not supposed to consider negative things here as this is not the right place for such discussions. Negative things leads to negative realizations in life and positive things to positive realization. We can think of this world as good or bad (although both are true) but in reality what we get is what we sought. There are so many ways to find happiness . A child can find happiness in a dress, a terrorist can find happiness in explosives and explosions. So, it is you who decides where can you find similarity between happiness and an activity (or happiness without any activity). I will like to list some common places and instances of happiness in our day to day life. A happiness that frequently strikes our vision, the m...

Philosophy of Happiness

Image
Philosophy of happiness is also an integral part of philosophy of life . It makes life more positive, more rewarding, a lovely place to be around. There are actually very common and easily adaptable principles to understand and retain happiness in our lives forever but in today's complicated environment little, easily manageable things too look very complicated and thus difficult to follow and understand. Here, I can give you 10 tips to be happy , 3 ways to maintain happiness (which can be a future post) etc., which I think most people look for in there online searches. This posts is not meant to provide a quick fix for happiness, this post is meant to use some processing power of your brain in meditation, in order to reach some conclusion on your own as conclusions that we reach after intro-inspections are more stable and effective in our life. I know providing any brief, easy steps to solution are not going to throw enough light or solve the problem in providing any happiness ...

Everybody has a right to Survive

Image
Nature not only protects every form of life but it also bestows the right to survive. We humans are humans and cannot think or act like nature we can only try imitating the nature as per our understanding. Everyone has a right to survive May be we have forgot this message of the nature but environment problems, shrinking ozone layer, economic recession, ecological balance are all a clear indication that nature is not supporting our actions and in order to survive we must make some changes and improvements in our lifestyle. What we think or know may not be correct? All our theories of life and happiness are based on our on interpretation of law of nature, we increased production using artificial techniques, we tried to add taste using artificial flavors, self life using preservatives. Now we are struggling with health problems, some dreaded disease. We cannot escape from nature Some of us think that they can stay away from natural surrounding (that they have created) and prote...

Philosophy of Love

Image
Do We Really Love Anyone? I hope you've already read the last post ' Philosophy of Love Vs Philosophy of Lust '. I know that it is easy to read but it is not always easy to study. Study requires attentive reading which further need calmness. The love is actually a natural phenomenon, a formless object like happiness. We believe that love is guided by appearance and how we are treated but actually love is over and above these things. It is beyond any expectation or promise. I think we are at fault when we misunderstand lust as love. Lust is a inferior quality of love, which has a number of limitations, and is frequently encountered in day to day life. Do we really love anyone? Like nature. I don't know who you love but if there is love (not lust) in any life, and it is really love then I don't think there are any regrets left in this life, as love is the essence of life. We can love anyone or anything it can be a purpose, a job, a work, a person, an activit...

Philosophy of Love Vs Lust

Image
Philosophy of Love Vs Philosophy of Lust Love and lust are easily interchanged these days. Commonly most people cannot even see any major difference between the two. Common thinking is love is followed by lust or lust is followed by love or both of them mean one and the same thing except the fact that one (love) is a polite way to express another (lust). Anyway, what is to follow is a post that I found on Sadhak Group at Yahoo (which means I am just a medium and not the source). I hope you'll enjoy reading this post on Philosophy of Love Versus Philosophy of Lust . Love versus Lust Worldly people due to their ignorance, do not understand the true nature of Love. They regard lust to be the same as Love. Lust is seen in most beings, especially more so in evil people, devils, demons, fiends, animals etc. Only the liberated Souls are capable of true Love. 1. In lust both parties want to receive something from the other, while in Love, a devotee (lover) wants to offer every...

Life Change Solutions

Do you have a problem? There is a solution . Virtually there is a solution for every problem. Life is full of solutions for problem that we have created for ourself. When we find no solution for any problem, then it does not mean that solution does not exists it is only an indication of our failure to find it. May be we are overlooking the solution or may be we are not seriously willing to solve the problem. Solutions are meant for Problems Whatever we do or is done on this planet is a part of a solution package. If we work, we work to provide a specific solution to a specific problem (for our organization or office). When we work to solve there problem they too are working simultaneously to solve our problem (reason which makes us work for them). Real Marketing is targeting the Right Problems We see advertisement and marketing of products and services everywhere whether its a movie, a magazine, newspaper, website or mail. What are these marketers trying to do? Marketers try to t...

Life Is Simple and Easy, Enjoy Life

Life is not a problem nor a solution . It simply life, an easy way to enjoy things at your disposal. Thinking about logic and philosophy don't make it easy to live. Life is what it is, it doesn't makes any difference whether we discuss life as a philosophy or logic, it is what it has to be. Life is cute, an object which is readily available to each one of us, some of us think and therefore disturb that festive mood of life, while others who don't have the logic or time to think, simply enjoy every moment of life , win. Life isn't as complicated as we think it to be. Its simple and easy. Learn to enjoy life with simplicity and all problems get solved automatically . Thoughts and Logic Kill Taste of Life When we think, we loose some precious moments of happiness . When we try to drive some conclusion we are again loosing more precious moments in arguments that only satisfy our ego. Life doesn't consider whether we consider anything about it or not. It is always t...
