The men of forgotten race

I belong to the men
of forgotten race.
the men who toiled
for a bread of
sweat and sun
In places less foot kept
descending, a dawn at a time 
travelled to attend the
unattended whispers 
of mourn and disbelief.

I belong to the men
of hard hearts.
who'd leave at
the alter with
the name called
with the one
etched within.
not with the eyes which caught in the
air of kisses and pecks.
                                               
I belong to the men 
of love and sensuality.
not that we speak of.
but of actions, of hopes
and of beliefs.

So to make it sound vibrant, we thought, after several discussions on the location that we were going to the making fi...

'Ship of Theseus'- An allegory of The Paradox

The answer to the seemingly never-ending quest for the purpose of life, in its reality, has no purpose as such, except it has.  Inquisitive being that Human is has always tried to pose questions for the things that were seemingly larger than himself. When he did find answers that were apparent, convenient, and limited- but not the truth, he settled. Evolution happened, as it should, so did the further quest in search of the truth, and thus, a philosophy ideated. To make it understandable of where I am heading towards, infamous work of Plato 'The Allegory of the cave'  serves as a substantial analogy that he makes of how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the manufactured reality that is the shadows seen by the prisoners. The inmates of this place do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life. T...
