Why We All Need Philosophy

- September 08, 2020

MARK MANSON WHY WE ALL NEED PHILOSOPHY Mark Manson 1 day ago “To win true freedom, you must be a slave to philosophy.” —Epicurus T he great philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein was once sitting in a park having a philosophical discussion with a friend when his friend, quite animated, stood up and said loudly, “That is a tree! I know for a fact that that is a tree!” An awkward pause ensued as the two men realized that passersby had stopped and were now staring at them. Wittgenstein, thinking quickly, turned to the people and said, “Do not worry, this fellow is not insane… we are merely doing philosophy.” When most people think of philosophy, they likely imagine indecipherable books that stretch on for a thousand pages, saying and solving nothing. They envision stuffy old men in misbuttoned shirts, untied shoelaces with mismatched socks, shuffling about hallways of some archaic university, mumbling to themselves, completely unaware of the humanity aro...

Develop Your Country Not For Them But For You Too

- March 29, 2020

By Ogiri John Ogiri The outbreak of the devastating Covid-19 pandemic in the world and eventually in our country, Nigeria, has exposed the folly of deliberately neglecting the development of the country by our political leaders over the years. It has taught us one unforgettable lesson and that is, even if you do not sleep at home because you can afford a bed in the most luxurious hotel elsewhere, you should at least furnish your house, not just because your family needs it but also because you will need the same furnished accommodation one day when the accommodation outside cannot take you anymore. As a political office holder, there comes a time when it becomes obviously glaring that the country and the people you have deliberately kept in abject poverty cannot protect you when a major crisis like this one breaks out. At such a time as this when you can no longer fly into another country because all borders are closed to outsiders and you are compelled by the circumstance to stay i...

The Treachery of Fear in a Tempestuous Life

- December 23, 2022

A storm has been stirred, With a rage of a ragtag, And a torment of a terrorist, It charges at me. With its brutal barrage, It enfeebles my resolve to resist And revel in victory. I face it with fright, As I daily wake and walk, arise and advance To stare at the picture of the future, I aspire to acquire in majesty. Why should I drown in the sea of fright At the sight and experience of the storm of this life? Why should I fret and falter in the furnace When I possess and brandish a faith As impervious as the rock of Gibraltar? But this is the human in a being. The human nature must threaten to quit But the spirit eventually conquers the frailty of the flesh. Only then can I dare to ascend victory As a crown ascends a throne. Lord, I do not ask you To stop the advance of this dangerous storm; I want to sail to victory in it. I do beg however to grant me the grace to triumph So I can return gratitude for the victory. So hel...
