Entitlement is the Road to Perdition. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. Problem: A fool and his rights are soon parted. One man's loss is the other man's gain. Solution: Jefferson.

The World Needs More Salvos D’Acquisto
We can all be heroes. That we choose to be cowards, it’s on us. But cowardice comes at a price. The moral decay of our times is that price.
Principles versus Rules
Principles make the world a moral one. Rules make it wild. C’est les cages qui rendent les hommes sauvages. If you want to know more, step right in, folks!
On Free Will
If you believe in the No pain, no gain adage, then you must make a choice. Do you want to live a life free from pain? If so, you chose the yoke of Comfort. If you want to retain agency in your life, then you have chosen wisely. You chose Painful Freedom.
On Moral Hypocrisy
Moral hypocrisy is a fixture of the human species. We are naturally born hypocrites. The whole lot of us. And we keep making the same mistake of assuming that Justice can be achieved Peacefully. Justice is not an act of Peace but of War. Justice is all about making War on Injustice.
Writing is Cathartic
Hari Seldon may have predicted the fall of the Galactic Empire but his greatest achievement was not this. His greatest feat was working towards rejuvenating the Life of the decaying Empire. Most prophesies, my friends, are self-fulfilling. And writing is the best way to prophesize what is to come.
Is the Triumph of Democracy a Distant Dream?
George Carlin once famously said about the American Dream that it was called like that because one had to be asleep to reach it. Same thing goes for Democracy. It is quickly turning from a clear reality into a figment of imagination. And boy, does one need to use their imagination to get the feel they live in a Democracy or what. As it happens, Tolerance is undermining Democracy. We are asked, forced, nay compelled to tolerate others but nobody else follows suit. Tolerance cuts both ways. But nobody else tolerates Us. How come?
The Cross-Roads of History – A study into the Butterfly effect
It is said the road to hell is paved with the good intentions of those who’ve undertaken the journey. But what about the one leading up to heaven? The road to heaven is paved by those who stood up against the system and challenged its Dogma. Jesus was one of those radicals who proposed a new way of looking at life. For this, the Romans put him on trial for his life. Next to him stood the bandit Barabbas. It is said Pilate of Pont had the crowd decide by acclamation their fate. The crowd chose poorly but did they now?! Have you ever considered the consequences of their choice, throughout time?
Indolence
Indolence is our single greatest enemy. It is there when we wake up in the morning and it beckons to us at night. It is there when we feel the frozen winter wind blasting our face white. And it is there in summer's scorching heat. It is there to remind us of our weakness. But we must not give in to its cunning allure. For indolence, physical and mental, is what turns men and women into mere animals. Perseverance separates Man from Beast. And Perseverance is the archenemy of Indolence.
The Desire to be Free
Freedom is not just a state of mind. Freedom is a stage in life. It is both a sign of maturity and mental development. Babies are wards of their parents. And most people are wards of the State. A few People are Free.
