Graveyard of spectacular futures

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

While I was researching my new book, "New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That's Got It Wrong," I discovered that there are two major barriers that get in the way of better relationships — and therefore happier lives:

  • We're never taught how to build healthy and supportive relationships, but it's a skill that, like any other, needs to be cultivated
  • We live in a world that makes it difficult to invest time to hone this skill and build relationships, which often end up taking a backseat to work and other responsibilities

Here's the good news: Your words have the power to make someone else feel seen, heard, and loved. And by creating happiness for someone else, you ultimately end up experiencing it yourself. 

Stephanie Harrison is the founder of The New Happy, an organization advancing a new philosophy of happiness.

this is what Heidegger meant about the ordinary person living almost unconsciously, unable and unwilling to act outside the structures of normality even in trivial ways, bound to "what one does" like a straightjacket of inauthentic conformity

Hinduism can't be truly universal until Jati Varna exists. For Dharma to be spread across the globe fairly, the third rated concept of Jati Varna has to die. It is dying daily as of now. May the speed increase even more.

Everyone is an expert on Advaita Vedanta. They are also aware of Kashmir Shaivism. But reading The Life Divine of Sri Aurobindo can teach much more than the traditional commentators. Understanding the inner significance of Veda is also crucial for a complete ontological picture.

Apart from the Partition, the Constitution of India divided the country into two factions of citizens. The Scheduled Castes and Tribes and the rest of the people. India can never become a modern nation unless everyone is entitled to equal treatment. Creamy layer shouldn't benefit

My upcoming book in two volumes:

“The Chronology of Indo-European Civilisations and Their Origins”

An interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach presents fresh perspectives and new insights on the traditional chronology, antiquity, and origins of Indo-European civilizations. Moreover, it brings to the fore the chronological mistakes made by historians, prompting a reassessment of the underestimated dates that have been taught in history and archaeology lessons.

A pathology of philosophy is that people find it far more appealing to lay out bold visions for the future of the discipline than to follow through on other people's visions. The history of the field is a graveyard of spectacular futures.

Right...all that was necessary was to fill-in the details on Hegel's System, bring philosophy to completion. But did they listen, no. So here we are : )

For everyone asking ‘if not he, who’ we don’t elect Prime Ministers straight because we don’t want Kings. 

We elect a Parliament because we want to be governed by the laws we choose. Not ruled the person we choose. Read:
