A Pardon for Punishment

The criminal justice system is a part of the government some cannot live with and some cannot live without. The former usually belongs to whom people usually refer to as criminals. One of the worst punishments a human being could have in the twenty-first century is executed mostly behind closed doors, with a minimum number of witnesses. But it hasn’t always been as such.

What's the Point?

The fact that there is no downside to death is an upside infinitely greater than any that life has to offer. A dead man misses out on nothing. Unbeknownst to him, his family and friends may mourn, but while a man alive would take sorrow in this, a dead man sees nothing and feels nothing, instigated, itself, by his own nothingness.

The Final Question

The question of existence is a question that many of whom who have had a period of emotional turmoil, depression or a very uncontrollable mind have very much likely asked.

The Paradox of Time

Life as we know it is eternally finite. However, the universe is existentially infinite in accordance to the human lifespan which is utterly minuscule in the face if astronomical timelines. One lives and dies, then the next and the next just like the one before. We, humans, are just a spec in the multiverse.

Circle of Life

Life is an exam, for which everyone participates. In this exam of life, the syllabus is undefined, questions vast and unknown and answers, abstract. We write this exam and exit without result. No one succeeds, no one fails. But everyone competes; We compete in, “The Circle Of Life”. A circle with no beginning nor end to it. A circle which ends at the starting point and begins at the end. Similarly, life begins and ends at the same point in the same locus....
