I have a lot of life philosophy’s. But if I had to narrow it all down to one it would be Carpe Diem.
The term comes from a greek text. Some dude is telling a young man: Don’t go trying to find out your future. Nobody has promised you a tomorrow. There is only [...]
Look at your hand. You think this is a hand, and these are fingers and this is a thumb. But tell me, where dose a finger stop being a finger and start being a hand? You cannot find the place where they seperate. There is no such place. The fingers are the hand, they are [...]
