the ArmChair Thoughts

I have now spent considerable amount of time in the great United States of America but before I or anyone else gets too absorbed in the American culture, I trackback on some of the veil over our eyes through a stand-up piece by my favorite George Carlin. I hope someone in power doesn’t read this, [...]

I’ve being looking at life’s experiences lately and I’m thinking, going back to the simpler life of the past might be more fulfilling. As I’ve pointed out before, the more we get the more we want and the less satisfied we are–meet the newest kid on the block: Yesterday. Yesterday was when I thought about [...]

So we men have being ‘trained’ not to express emotion and even when we try to, we try our best to hide it and show that we are strong. Well, those emotion build up internally, they in turn make us aggressive; in turn we teach other younger males the trend…and so the circle goes on [...]

Yes. That’s a lot like me, I have being inspired by religious music and it has in fact [...]

Today, some remember  a man who would change the would. Many years ago today, he entered triumphantly into a city called Jerusalem. This man would be a man so peaceful and powerful that he would change our would, give us peace and rest our souls; even help us inherit a supernatural kingdom. I wish my [...]

Yesterday I  was listening to NPR and the guest Bart Ehrman touched on a topic I found very interesting — the concept of the world’s end (apocalypse) as understood by Christians. Ehrman who is now an agnostic has a doctorate in theology; he mentioned that he couldn’t help not denying the faith because, the more [...]

In class yesterday I think I stunned a few when I attempted to argue that living is not that special–I pointed out that life has no sanctity. In the medical ethics class (on the topic on Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide), we where discussing the case of a man who killed his 12 years old daughter [...]
