Humanism Way to a Better Us Explained by Experts

 

The video showcases reputable experts in their field from biology, psychology and philosophy and their take on humanism. Its introduction to humanism answers the questions on its importance, having life in the here and now, finding a way to live an ethical life, realizing the use of human's ability in discovering our nature and how can we use the understanding to our advantage.

Understanding is an effective way to better our standing as an individual immersed in diversity. This can be done by the habit of critical inquiry that changes mind when facts are presented. Scientific thinking hones this ability. The wonder, entertainment and thrill that science and scientific way of thinking serves, as Richard Dawkins enunciated, is a poetry of reality.

"It's up to us" summarizes it all.

The Time is Write

Poetry is an… (Photo credit: liber(the poet);)

Reading The time Is Write blog on Making a Leap made me wonder if I am becoming the writer I want to be. Which brings me to a question do I really know what I want to write?

The blogger’s preference to creative nonfiction over fiction enables me to consider if my shower of poetry is refreshing both to me and to those who consider to read it.

Suddenly I feel unappreciated. My poetry sucks most of the time but I still continue because my appreciation of thoughts turn to words brings me unprecedented scent of well-being.

So, to beat the insecurity out of me, I hit the keyboard in the “poetry writing tips” letters (of course ‘enter’ at the end) and found this useful blog

Don’t be afraid to write from a different point of view. Write a poem that says exactly the opposite of what you believe. If you can’t do it without irony.

Listen to talk radio while you write. Listen to the people who call. Great characters and voices emerge that way.

Aside from fact that the above tips are my favorites and I resolve to do in my next attempt to bathe with words, will it bring me back to the question do I really know what I want to write?

All I know is I just want to better my poetry and continue to have a habit of writing since I started using WordPress blog this month. So any topic that would arouse my ire(not this case, of course), feed my curiosity, and widen my horizons will soak my writing tub.

To cover my naked writing prowess is to towel nameless topic.

How can I be the change I want to see the world?

Seeing the world with less misery has kept me dreaming. So in my attempt to make this dream come true, I have come up with what makes my life miserable and its resolution.

Pleasing Everybody. It is the easiest way to avoid conflict, earn validation, consume energy and time, and get disappointed.

Since I know how powerful mind can create thoughts and its ability to make it a reality, the tendency to be right is so convincing it makes you forget other minds. The good news is so as everyone else. Being kind to stupid idea, nice to useless thoughts, and pleasing to ignorance are conflicts to the ability of one's mind. To avoid conflicts, I tend to forget my ability to reason and to converse. It makes me miserable.

What now? I resolve to express what I contemplated as right and be accountable of the consequence.Just have to give my best shot hoping that it will not kill anyone. And remind myself that I can also get hit because I chose to be around.  Otherwise, stop finding sweet chili.
