Posted in Society on 11 September 2008

Human mind is quick to lay judgment and find external parties to blame. There always needs to be someone or something to take the guilt of any undesired action or circumstance. It does not even matter whether the actual claim has anything to do with the reality. The purpose is to move on and get [...]

Legal Justice
Posted in Society on 16 July 2007

Equality means that both parties are in the same level, respected and treated according to the same standards. This is the theory, but in practise we seldom face it in reality.

How and Paralysis by Analysis
Posted in Business, Personal on 10 February 2007

We tend to be very practical in our thinking. It all culminates into question—how? How am I going to do it? How is it possible? How did you do it? Many questions and very little answers. If you were to know the means you would not bother to ask—you would just do it. But how [...]

Posted in Fragments of Reality, Mind, Personal, Poems on 14 February 2005

Always afresh,
never the same,
appearance may stay,

Fear
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Short Insights on 5 August 2004

We do not. We are only afraid of the things we know and
have—we have nothing against the unknown. [...]
