We live in a world of duality, where everything has a certain degree of polarity. As human beings living in this world, we are not separate from it, but a part of it. W are one with nature, since we are really no different from the rest of it. We have our own polarity, and … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 132: Dual Nature

500 WORDS, DAY 131: Communication
Communication is so important. Whether we’re talking about friendships, family, romantic relationships, co-workers, or collaborators of any kind, everyone could benefit from having better communication, and therefore understanding, between each other. Even entire communities, nations, and groups of all kinds would benefit greatly from better communication with other groups in their communities. There are so … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 131: Communication
500 WORDS, DAY 129: We Don’t Know What Is Real
We all like to act as if we know what is real, as if we can possibly grasp the magnitude and wonder of life and everything it could possibly be or mean. We laugh at supernatural claims and spiritual beliefs. We are all very sophisticated in our own minds, whether we would like to recognize … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 129: We Don’t Know What Is Real
500 WORDS, DAY 123: The Joy of Reading and Art
This post is part of an ongoing series, or writing experiment. I’ve challenged myself to post at least five hundred words a day on here, indefinitely. Some days I write the post that same day, some days I use something pre-written. I started with the idea of each day’s topic continuing from the previous day, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 123: The Joy of Reading and Art
500 WORDS, DAY 122: Embrace the Now!
“The secret of it all,” says Walt Whitman, “is to write in the gush, the throb, the flood, of the moment – to put things down without deliberation – without worrying about their style – without waiting for a fit time or place.” Now, I don’t really know what the throb or the gush are, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 122: Embrace the Now!
500 WORDS, DAY 117: All Uniquely Similar
I’m not a guru of any kind. In fact, I’d consider myself somewhat of an idiot in a lot of ways. Don’t get me wrong, I do have confidence in myself and I’m quite proud of some of my achievements and some aspects of my personality. I feel like I’m very observant, and I notice … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 117: All Uniquely Similar
500 WORDS, DAY 108: Perspective
It seems to me like life really does come down to perspective. While a case can be made for the idea that life is good and that therefore human beings are ultimately good, there’s also quite a case to be made for the idea that humanity and the planet are ultimately evil and corrupt. Although … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 108: Perspective
500 WORDS, DAY 100: I Appreciate You Reading!
Today is my hundredth day in a row of writing and posting at least five hundred words on this blog. It’s cool to see that my thoughts resonate with some people, even if it’s just a few people here and there. One of the coolest things about reading something like philosophy, or other people’s ideas … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 100: I Appreciate You Reading!
500 WORDS, DAY 49: What Is Unique Other Than Weird?
When I write about my fascination with the random and weird, the reality is that it comes from a place of understanding. It comes from a place of truly understanding that we are all unique, each and every one of us, and I don’t mean to say that in a cheesy, seemingly inspirational way, I … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 49: What Is Unique Other Than Weird?
500 WORDS, DAY 22: Where My Current Writing Experiment Has Brought Me
Yesterday I started a recap of where my current daily writing experiment has brought me so far. I didn’t get to finish it, so today is a continuation of my attempt at a recap. As I mentioned, I started Day 1 by questioning the legitimacy of stream-of-consciousness writing, wondering whether writing for the sake of … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 22: Where My Current Writing Experiment Has Brought Me
