Finding The Meaning Of Suffering: Part Of The Human Condition
Finding meaning in suffering seems a little counterproductive. Suffering is what you want release from, yet by finding meaning in it, you hold onto it, putting it at the centre of your life, your identity. Yet finding meaning in suffering can be one of the most cathartic experiences.

When Justice Served Means Injustice, Blame The Justice Chimera
Justice, Cicero’s "mistress and queen of all the virtues," now depends on its interpretations, and the interpretation of justice depends on who the interpreter is. Judges and lawyers, the purveyors of justice, are vital cogs in the wheels of justice, and we rely on them to interpret justice- ethically and honestly.

Greed, Not AI, Will End Us
Greed wasn’t a thing when the first group in the hominid species broke away to form the homo sapiens clan, probably about 300-400 thousand years ago. However, AI is creating an increasingly uneven and unbalanced world, one where the greedy thrive at the expense of the generous rest. Our survival is no longer about need- it’s about greed. And there are two distinct sides emerging in the human race. What is Greed? Greed, an insatiable and selfish desire for something, especiall

The Human Connection: The Alpha And Omega Of The Human Condition
It also makes sense that we are subconsciously driven by the human desire to connect with others- perhaps the human soul's desire is to attempt to return to oneness, to the one single cell with a particular place in the cosmos. So we reach out to other humans to connect with them for a while, before fears and tears drive us apart again, despite having a genetic link to every other human, and every other life form on Earth.

What does being human mean? A brief philosophical look into what’s behind driving humans to dehumanize others
Medically, being human means possessing the complex biological and genetic makeup of the species Homo sapiens, characterized by a highly developed brain and a unique, complex genome. It's a broad, subjective description, expanded upon by philosophers to include unique capacities such as reason, consciousness, and creativity. These qualities led to the development of language, culture, and complex societies. Yet many non-human species have these same philosophical qualities of

The Life-Changing Value Of Owning Your Core Values
Values, the principles by which we live, come in all forms, but the value of terminal values —that include happiness and inner peace —is at the core of who we are, and can redirect our fate. What Are Values? The word “value” also has many meanings- each equally valuable: Value: The regard that something is held to deserve, or the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.

South African DEI and Land Redistribution: Similar terms, different intents
Human beings are wanderers and wonderers. But where did it all begin, and where will it all end? Charles Darwin's theory that all life on Earth evolved from a single cell, arguably around 3 billion years ago, is widely accepted by scientists and anthropologists. Archeologists also support this through their findings. But 'evolved' is a complex, sometimes loaded, word. The Darwinian school of thought goes further, indicating that modern humans (Homo sapiens) originated in Afri
