Philosophical.....

Have been reading Aristotle, Bentham & Kant lately, just makes me walk the philosophical road. Researching Ethics is not a matter of joke, wish I realized this earlier lol. No no I am not going to repeat my Gemini traits any more, so relax, am gonna stick to research in ethics for at least my PhD dissertation. All this philosophical talk reminds of one of my old poems, here it is enjoy :-)

Unknown

A beautiful place, a beautiful song, a beautiful life,
Such is the beauty of a place we call home, Earth!
So many lives, so many souls, so many stories,
A small speck of life, a needle in a haystack,
What is the value of a single life, Unknown!

Lost in the crowds, lost in his own world,
Seeking an identity, seeking himself, seeking a meaning,
Dependent lives, yet who am I, who are you,
He believes ignorance is bliss,
A reason, a meaning, a creator, Unknown!

Treading unknown paths of life, walking in the dark,
Not a single question asked, not a single answer given,
A future unseen, a past unknown, a present with no meaning,
Does he know why he is living?
A question asked; a reason for a belief, Unknown!

Is science right or is a belief, the answer, Unknown!
A creator, ignorance or innocence, reason Unknown!
Introspection, right or wrong, a fate Unknown!
We, orphans or heirs, an identity Unknown!
From I to WE, a beautiful bond, this Unknown.

I guess that's enough philosophy for today, enjoy folks, life is beautiful (it sucks occasionally though).
PS: Just wanted to thank someone, who's blog n posts took me down the memory lane and eventually to this post, "A Fresh New Whiff" indeed.
