100: Pseudo Creativity
Language models are the rage nowadays, boasting impressive capabilities. Task them with writing a poem, and in an instant a masterpiece emerges. However, poets await the muse's whisper, unable to conjure verse at will. While these AI-generated poems may dazzle with their technical prowess, they lack the essence of true poetry. T.S. Eliot might appreciate their historical references and clever correlations, but, they remain soulless constructs, devoid of the heart and emotion that genuine poetry embodies.
99: Saree
A piece of cloth, approximately six metres in length and a little over a metre in width, is an apparel wonder. It was a timeless favourite among women, meeting all their requirements for a versatile piece of clothing. This fabric drapes the feminine form exquisitely, accentuating its dignity in ceremonial attire and its sultry charm in more sensual contexts. Once all the loose ends are securely tucked in, this garment transforms into a reliable companion for adventure, warfare, or daily life. No wonder the Saree remains an enduringly popular choice.
98: Decibles
Sound is a versatile parameter, capable of measuring the abstract where the units of measurement falter. The decibels are the ultimate unit. Imperceptible decibels mark a society as refined, virtuous, educated and cultured; where a rise in them signals the opposite or the vices, growing in tandem with their intensity.
97: The Soul of Art
A body is extremely desirable. The soul, the spirit—whatever name you give it—pollutes the beautiful body. Let us pluck it out and admire the pure, dead body for its clever design, its capable organs and glands.
Art, too, is extremely desirable. The spirit of the artist, or the muses as the traditionals would say; only pollutes art. Let us pluck them out and marvel at the exquisite form of art itself. The spirit of the body, or of art, does not bow before our great god of reason— Let us exterminate it, then, for blasphemy.
96: Virtuous Animals
When the value sets of a human society goes levels down the animal society the society or the civilization is done for.
95: Errie AI
Language models have evolved so much that it feels eerily like conversing with a profoundly intelligent, impeccably polite, and genuinely benevolent individual sitting at the other end.
94: Hollow Exhibition
A deeply embedded inferiority complex often manifests in a superficial, pretentious personality. Individuals with such a personality often vocally flaunt what they believe will elevate their self-image. In contrast, genuinely worthy individuals rarely feel the need for such conspicuous displays.
93: Defused Glow
A country may be ruined or successful, but a small group of people always live very well and the spotlight is always focused on them. However, if the majority lives well, the country thrives, and when the majority suffer, the country regresses. Therefore, in wise countries, they look after the social, cultural, psychological, educational, and financial well-being of the general population.
92: Binary Fission
What a better place the world would be if sexes didn't exist and humans regenerated by separating into two entities by hibernating for a month, resulting in two equally experienced and knowledgeable beings. There would be no problems concerning genders, education, and upbringing.
91: Unsolicited idiocy
A financially troubled man, entangled in a web of problems, sought guidance from a senior acquaintance. The elder, who had achieved financial stability and a sense of fulfillment, humbly declined to offer advice. He reasoned that, not having faced similar struggles, his counsel would be superfluous and potentially unhelpful. In stark contrast, shallow individuals, whose lives are often chaotic, are quick to dispense advice to others, despite their lack of depth and self-awareness.
90: The Biological Machine
Before bolting on that can of nitrous oxide to your ride, you do a lot of homework. From the engine head down to the wheels, you strengthen and modify every aspect of your vehicle and meticulously ensure fuel quality. Otherwise, the vehicle will give up, the moment you give it full throttle. The human body can ingest a certain amount and quality of food. If you feed it rubbish in generous amounts, it won't give up at the first try like your machine, being an infinitely smarter and resilient system. It will handle the abuse for a while, but when you do it day in and day out, it gives up. Is that machine more valuable than your body?
89: Sensual Patriotism
Soldiers are valiant, resilient, and patriotic, but they do not belong to a special category. Most people possess these soldierly attributes and fight for their version of patriotism. The triumvirate of sensuousness—wealth, authority, and lust—constitutes their version of patriotism. They fight for these with a fervour that often surpasses the soldiers fighting for their country.
88: Aesthetics
Winter afternoon, rocks with overgrowths around, heaps of dry, rotting leaves; a sense of fulfilling beauty surrounds. No sleekness, no coherence, no order; which are widely considered the ingredients of beauty, yet they still radiate an exquisite charm. What, then, are the elements of beauty or aesthetics?
87:Responsibility
If those in high positions forget Spiderman's timeless wisdom, 'With great power comes great responsibility,' the world will inevitably plunge into chaos, and wars will erupt everywhere.
86: Paradox
Fiery red, with intense heat, it raids the garden of delicate, soft red buds. The buds are overwhelmed, consumed by a burning sensation that ignites their dormant senses. As they awaken, they capture the entire spectrum of tastes, most of which would have gone unnoticed. This is why red chili powder is added to spices—though it lacks distinct flavor, it awakens the taste buds. Similarly, paradox in literature works like red chili in spices. Initially, it seems meaningless, but it ignites the imagination, prompting it to capture the layers of underlying meaning in a piece of art.
85: An Uncluttered Mind
The aesthetic independence that an uncluttered mind provides is unrivaled by any formal degree in Aesthetics.
84: Gossipers
How ecstatic it must be to team up and scandalize someone, weaving tales with animated gestures. Gossipers often have personalities more tainted than their targets, yet they remain oblivious to their own follies. It’s all a game of perspective—they judge themselves and others by entirely different measures.Noble and dignified souls, however, embody the opposite approach: they turn a sternly critical eye upon themselves, yet extend a careless, almost indulgent forgiveness to others—the true hallmark of their character.
83: Educated Person
Education enables one to avoid becoming a duckweed in life, drifting along societal currents. If one drifts along to the whims of society, they are not truly educated.
82: Arboria
Imagine a world transformed, where humans evolved as botanical beings—resilient, self-cleaning, perpetually fragrant, ingesting soil, water, and sunshine, and producing sweet-smelling medicinal excretes. The crowning glory of this arboreal existence would be the innate benevolence that comes with being an integral part of the arboreal world, representing nature as they do.
81: Behavioral treatment
Behavioral treatment is transformational. If you intensely treat an animal like a human, it starts developing some human attributes. Just look at pets; their wilder traits are tamed by behavior, and they make themselves compatible with human settings. This also applies to human beings. If society treats doctors as if they were killers, they may become so influenced that they start behaving accordingly. If society treats police personnel like criminals, they might passively adopt a criminal mode. And if society disrespects teachers and treats them like low-rung blue-collar workers, it doesn't take much time for them to become such. It is the responsibility of society to treat its active population with respect when they deserve it.
80: Sweet Lies
Lies can be sweet, often masking the ugliness of unpleasant situations. However, opportunistic lying demands shamelessness and a lack of self-respect to a very high degree.
79: Wars
Wars are rarely fought for justice. As the number of mentally unwell individuals who gain power increases, the threat to peace grows. The greater their power, the more widespread the wars become.
78: Dark Beauty
In an era of instant information gratification, a night in a cemetery still yields the most profound and insightful flights of imagination. Horror, in its darkest beauty, has a strangely cleansing effect on consciousness.
77: Hormones
The human body is a marvel—a living alchemy. It distills the abstract essence of ignorance into a tangible potion, known as hormones, brewed in the quiet laboratories of the glands, from which it flows, weaving its way through the serpentine pathways of the blood streams that permeate the body. A delicate balance sustains life—a whisper of hormones is enough, but when the glands are prodded by desire to produce more, then it starts veiling consciousness with ignorance. Thus, the sages tread softly, their restraint a gentle leash upon the glands, maintaining the clarity of their inner vision.
76: Obsession
Obsession, a creeping, prowling leech, latches onto any one of the countless shifting facets of consciousness, driving it into overdrive, while all other elements remain undisturbed. This imbalance carves out a distorted personality. A persistent psychic scalpel, wielded painstakingly layer by layer, can dislodge this insidious leech.
75: Coffee
You are a steaming cup of coffee, exuding a distinct aroma that hints at the richness within. Topped with a velvety froth, your essence remains hidden, awaiting discovery. To truly know you, one must gently lift the veil of froth, and sip into the depths of your being, where the true flavors of your soul reside.
74: Handsome Beauty
Cast aside the Wild West and Hollywood's archetypes of masculinity. Once, it was tough, weathered faces that set the tone for fashion. Now, a new wave of masculinity emerges – polished, refined, and meticulously groomed. These men, cradled in comfort and shielded from life's ruggedness, possess a delicate beauty, yet lack the rugged charm that once defined handsomeness.
73: Civilization
A smart, modern city, a hub of activity with all the modern amenities, isn’t civilized if the citizens are rogues. A sleepy, remote village, isolated from the touches of modernity, is civilized if every aspect of living exudes humanity.
72: Steadiness
A twenty-inch step may yield jerky progress, but a twenty-inch wheel, laying down only an inch at a time, glides effortlessly. With each rotation, it covers twenty inches, propelling us far. While jerky progress may seem impressive, its impact is superficial. In contrast, gradual and steady progress imbues life with profound meaning, carrying us far.
71: Inferiority Complex
When afflicted with an inferiority complex, individuals often feel compelled to vocalize their opinions on every subject, disregarding the fundamental tenets of good manners and decorum.
70: Quasi-Theorists
When they churn out theories on a subject with monotonous regularity, containing only a fraction of the truth, it proves that they are ignorant and confused about the subject.
69: Cosmetic Softies
An atomizer contains little essence and mostly air, and so is cosmeticizing. It is composed of a minuscule amount of substance and the rest is hot air. This has transformed this into a lucrative industry. Elementally, femininity is predisposed to the allure of cosmetics, while masculinity is drawn to utility. But, with masculinity and femininity evenly balanced, this profitable business is halved in its potential. Thus, a subtle magic was woven, enticing males to surrender to the whims of cosmetics, to become "cosmetic softies." Of course, this was no easy feat, for the elemental tug of masculinity proved a formidable force to overcome. The truly authentic men, however, remained immune to this siren's call of cosmetology.
68: Cosmetic Disaster
A close acquaintance, an extremely beautiful girl, was unrecognizable on her wedding day. Her natural beauty was hidden under layers that made her face look plasticky, almost rendering her unattractive. Nature is the source of beauty, and if you try to tamper with it, you’ll end up with ghastly results. Natural beauty can only be enhanced by subtle touches.
67: Pseudo Personalities
Bitching around seems to be the mantra for some people. They believe it grants them a certain buoyancy in social circles. Perhaps they are not entirely wrong, as this behavior can indeed lend them prominence in a society where the majority are mere dummies. These dummies, bereft of independent thought, prostrate themselves before the perceived wisdom of such individuals, mistaking it for a sign of worthiness. Yet, to the discerning eye, such pseudo-personalities are nothing more than ill-mannered dullards, incapable of any meaningful ability. Their behavior betrays a deeper flaw—an unsettling deficiency in their genetic legacy.
66: Sweetness
You are the very essence of sweetness, but they are not kind, labeling you and blaming you for their lack of discipline. They burn you, change your color for their needs, yet you continue to carry your inherent sweetness, transforming into caramel to serve as toppings or crust for the delicacies of their lives.
65: Manners
They say that manners and education go hand in hand. An ill-mannered person can never truly claim the mantle of the educated. The education spoken of here is not the accredited, certified kind. True education is an ensemble—a legacy born of familial and cultural heritage, awareness, integrity, generosity, and other noble qualities. An educated individual possesses a certain completeness in their personality. In contrast the uneducated bear personalities teeming with voids and inadequacies. – ego, boorish behavior, insecurity, prejudice, and other maladies that tarnish the soul. They inherit a genetic legacy that remains unpolished, uncultured, and unrefined.
64: Reality
How would one feel if assured comfort and safety for a lifetime, with their sole pastime being to dream extended dreams teeming with adventures and escapades, while their physical form remained securely anchored to a bed? In essence, this mirrors our existence: our souls, cradled in their inherent invincibility, abide in quiet eternity, as the temporal body navigates the intricate dance of perceived reality.
63: The Theory of Everything
The theory of everything they want so hard is already there, formulated thousands of years ago. It's a very perfect coherent accession from the temporal at the lower level to spiritual in the upper ascends. It is beautifully narrated in its many avatars as allegories. We must be free from scientifically fueled prejudiced ego to see the beauty of it.
62: Self-Respect
Shouldering responsibility of any kind is a hallmark of a worthy individual, fostering a deep sense of self-respect. Consider diplomats, who, while enjoying diplomatic immunity that renders them exempt from a host country's laws, are nonetheless highly responsible persons, capable of governing themselves with integrity and discipline.
61: Empowerment
Democracy—the magic word evokes feelings of liberation and empowerment for everyone, yet it can be a double-edged sword. Empowerment and liberation grant people the goodies, yet a lack of restraint and discipline on their part can curse society to a level way inferior to the previously docile society. When uncultured and unrefined people are empowered in any way, they, without discernment and restraint, go overboard. An eminent economist once noted that affluence in a certain society has led to the deterioration of personal relationships on a large scale. Thus, while democracy may be an ideal system of government, it is not suitable for unwise societies.
60: Elemental Musculinity
Leave a mouse in a rounded sphere with soft food and no stimuli to chew on, and it will succumb to psychological devastation. Its teeth, unchecked, will grow through its palate, inducing a slow and agonizing death. Similarly, men are biologically, hormonally, and structurally wired for hardship. Deprived of this essential element, their physical and psychological collapse is inevitable. Men who can exist without hardship are a different breed, but unmistakably, they are not men.
59: The Art of Driving
Like any nuanced operation, driving has its own language, and perhaps even its own literature. Literature and language are deeply connected with psychology, as is driving. A skilled driver crafts a harmonious flow, much like a poet composes a verse. The dynamic and static elements on and around the road become the constituent parts of this ever-evolving composition. As a poet becomes one with their instrument and merges with the emerging poem, a driver similarly becomes an extension of their vehicle, blending with the symphony of elements that comprise the driving experience. The proficiency of a driver is, in essence, a reflection of their ability to orchestrate this dynamic flow.
58: Endangered Wisdom
Wisdom, you always maintain a polar distance from violence, intolerance, prejudice and ego. They are present everywhere. Is that why you are so rare?
57: Crippled Artistry
When large populations with limited aesthetic sensibility achieve financial prominence, artistry suffers. Music relinquishes its melodic charm, cars shed their stately silhouettes, drama devolves in to melodrama and architecture loses its form. Artists, in turn, feel compelled to dilute their craft to appeal to the unrefined tastes of the nouveau riches, sacrificing creative integrity for commercial viability.
56: Impression
A conman swindles Goofy, and Goofy, the goof, impressed by his slithering tongue, is in a dilemma of, 'loves me or loves me not.' Most people in life mimic Goofy's naivety and judge others by looking at the surface textures: they pass hasty judgments on their personality from stray acts or events in their lives. They fail to realize that every person hides the depths of oceans within them. Human psychology operates with the continuous turmoil of innumerable factors, many aspects of which a person isn't even aware of. Psychologists scrape only the upper depths of a personality. For social needs, one needn't dive deep into a person; rather, they should look at a person over time and take impressions from the recurrent cues.
55: The Ugly Duckling
Look at this humble entity, dull and feature less, oft maligned and relegated to the lowest rung. Yet, like angels, it serves with quiet humility, absorbing the impurities of the world to purify all that it touches. This unassuming hero sustains and purifies water, imbues food with flavor, and forms the foundation of countless creations. And, as the cradle of life, it nurtures the very essence of existence. This 'ugly duckling' of the earth, the plain, everyday soil, is, in truth, a guardian of grace and a testament to the transformative power of humility.
54: A Biochemical Brew
With a dramatically mighty ego, they are out for their conquests. Skeptical of the intangible, their minds remain anchored to the material and the rational, though, to indulge their grand ego, they might, in discourses, speak lustily of ethereal entities. Their thoughts, founded in the material realm, make them believe that the intangible is mere hearsay. This suggests they harbor no immortal spirit within. What they possess is a fleeting amalgamation of biological substances. And so, one wonders: is their lofty ego merely a byproduct of this biochemical brew?
53: Freaks of Nature
Looking down the pages of history reveals an unsettling truth: the multitude of dullards dwarfs the number of intelligent individuals by an almost infinite ratio. This bleak observation compellingly suggests that stupidity is humanity's default setting, while intelligent minds are the rare, aberrant freaks of nature.
52: Humanity
An elderly couple disembarked from a train at a railway station on a frigid morning. They sat on a bench near a tea stall run by a man in his mid-thirties. The man brought out a portable coal-burning stove and began the laborious task of igniting the coal pieces. As the stove filled with glowing coals, onlookers assumed he was preparing it for his stall. However, to their astonishment, the stall owner placed two chairs near the stove, and motioned the elderly woman to seat and warm herself. The woman, who spoke a different language, gratefully accepted the gesture. The man then returned to his stall and brought two cups of tea for the couple.
51: Disguised Guardians
A man assumes financial responsibilities, and soon the surroundings start buzzing about his misappropriations. A man converses regularly with a girl, and again, the air around fills up with their buzzings. This is the general view, forever tinted with negativity. They see something with their shallow view, fire up a crooked imagination, cook up stories, and circulate them. This sort of gossiping is usually considered a rotten habit, but it has its own goodness and usefulness for society. Such gossiping acts as a strong deterrent for the miscreants, who abound in society, doing mischiefs and manipulations. Though the genuinely upright may suffer in the crossfire, their inherent resilience and buoyancy, inseparable from goodness, allow them to rise above, enduring for the greater welfare of all.
50: Conspirators
Conspirators, a sinister lot, acting like undercurrents, strike unexpectedly in assumed states of serenity. The victim, before reckoning, finds themselves in sticky, gluey situations, devastating aspects of their life and living. Though evil, yet conspirators are a necessary element in the fabric of society. They prevent complacency, jolting individuals out of a lulled existence into a primed state. The victims of conspiracy, too, reap their own bitter rewards. In their devastated condition, they recognize their true relations, as false ones fall off like leaves in autumn and join forces with the detractors. They fail to realize that this devastation is fleeting. Yet for the truly loved ones, the victim's worth is defined by the depth of understanding cultivated over years.
49: Rarities
"Pebbles are plenty but diamonds are rare," implies that valuables are rare while the ordinary abounds. But this isn't always valid, for air, water, and sunshine flow in abundance, their worth beyond dispute. Thus, not in all aspects of life and living does rarity add value. Wisdom and intellect, however, dwell among the rarities. Thus, in a population, dullness is plentiful, but wisdom and intellect are extremely rare. Often, what is passed off before the general view isn't true intellect or true wisdom, but fool's gold masquerading as genuine. An assayer or a discerning eye can only sieve out the genuine from the fake.
48: The Parade
Hollow personalities flaunt their earthly treasures and physical form. In contrast, noble personalities radiate virtue, morality, and kindness. The enlightened ones, however, transcend the bounds of personality, merging seamlessly with the universal essence. They have surpassed the need to showcase anything, their very being a testament to a timeless, formless, tranquil state of consciousness, with occasional ripples.
47: Puppet Show
They toy with the minds of people in weak and feeble societies, exploiting them like puppets on a string. These minds, zombielike, are played like instruments in the hands of skilled manipulators. And yet, the puppeteers feel no pang of conscience, for when humanity succumbs to the instincts of the herd, it relinquishes its claim to individuality, and with it, its dignity.
46: Sweetness
A young woman, barely eighteen, confided in someone wiser that she doesn't like people who are excessively sweet, like overflowing jars of thick sugar syrup. She keeps such people at a distance. The elder asked her about her parents and brother, inquiring if they were not extremely sweet to her. The girl replied that, of course, they were sweet and the very essence of sweetness, but theirs was a natural, sugar-free sweetness—genuine, effortless, and utterly refreshing.
45: Imputes of Progress
You should begin to worry if no one ever criticizes you. If all you hear are kind words and you bear no enmity from others, it might suggest that you're not engaging in anything meaningful, leading to a life of quiet misery. But should you find yourself the target of criticism, bearing enmity from others without clear cause, it indicates that you are indeed doing something significant in life. Continue on that path. The greater the enmity and the sharper the criticisms, the more you can claim to be truly accomplished.
44: Wisdom
Wisdom comes not with a leaning posture, intent eyes, and a primed-up constitution, though knowledge you may garner. Wisdom seeps into your being with a laid-back posture, dilated pupils, imperceptible breathing, and a heart beating ever so slowly, preferably with a green meadow underneath and a blue sky with cotton wool clouds floating overhead.
43: Enlightened Pretention
Enlightened souls live dramatic and pretentious lives. Their actions and words often mask their true intentions. This pretentious nature doesn't rob them of their bearings, because unlike other pretentious people, they are anchored to a solid core of luminous beauty that can only radiate goodness. Their pretentiousness blesses the world in disguise, while the hollow ones curse it in disguise.
42: Nature of Reality
Frequencies from 430-790 THz we can see, and frequencies from 20 Hz-20 kHz we can hear. It's just a tiny portion of the spectrums of light and sound. Reality is not constrained to only these two parameters. Reality is a tapestry woven from an infinite number of threads in a complex state of weave. A perception that can expand to sense the beauty of the entire tapestry is able to make statements on the nature of reality. All else is pure hot air.
41: Anuswara
A tiny zero, not related to mathematics by any stretch of the imagination, sits serenely atop letters, imbuing expressions with a subtle, meditative essence that weaves a gentle sonic tapestry, rhythmically cultivating concentration. This is called 'anusvara' in Sanskrit. Its sonic kinship with the primordial sound of 'Aum' enables this, acting as a threshold between the temporal and the transcendental, bringing us back to our elemental selves and shielding us from distractions. Thus, the usage of the Sanskrit language, cuddling up your mindscape for clearer focus, is one of the many elements that contribute to the brilliance of the language.
40: Chandra-vindu
The Anuswara, a mystical accent in the Sanskrit language, weaves a rich sonic tapestry that transports and transforms. As it threads its way through the fabric of the language, it is accompanied by a faithful lieutenant—the Chandra-Bindu. This elegant accent, shaped like a delicate semi-ellipse cradling a suspended dot, appears above letters to evoke some subtle cadences of the primordial sound, Aum. Together, the Anuswara and Chandra-Bindu form an intricate harmony, imbuing the language with an elemental resonance that echoes the cosmic vibration of Aum.
39: Visarga
Who can resist the allure of bass drops? EDM lovers vouch for their electrifying effect. The suspenseful sonic space they create gives an ecstatic sensation, allowing the beats of the song to pour in with definitive distinction. Interestingly, the classical language Sanskrit has been using a similar but more sophisticated sound conditioning compared to bass drops, for millennia. The visarga, symbolized by a colon-like mark (ः), modifies the pronunciation of vowels, providing clarity and a subtle shift in tone facilitating distinct and impactful pronunciation.
38: Brand Equity
Some brands hold themselves at lofty heights. They believe that they let someone possess their timeless products as a favour, out of their generosity. When a disgruntled customer vents their anger against these brands anywhere, they swiftly take action to make these customers pay dearly for their insolence. Then there are other brands that treat their customers royally; even when wrongfully accused, they politely pacify the situation. Don't think that these brands are mediocre in any way, as they hold laurels for quality, cost, and reliability. No wonder these brands are the most successful.
37: Definition of Love
A few students of literature asked their Professor the definition of love. It was a paradoxical question, as a definition is about definiteness, and love is a subjective expansiveness. Most definitions of love were therefore inadequate. Thus, the professor ponders for a few moments and, taking cues from ancient oriental philosophy, defines love as an elemental desire for union. This definition is so expansive that it can, within its canopy, include all the different kinds of love, becoming almost a subjective statement lacking definiteness. So, is this a definition?
36: Poetic Prose
The stream-of-consciousness and absurdist narrative styles stand supreme, unencumbered by the spatial and temporal constraints of conventional prose. These styles transcend the ordinary, soaring towards the rarefied realms of poetry, where the boundaries of time and logic are blissfully irrelevant.
35: Angels Disguised
Super villains are infact angels from heaven. When a society runs smooth for several decades, people tend to become vegetables. Hence, God sends their archangel to jerk them out of their stupor.
34: Perspectives
Desire wisdom and intelligence? No problem. Cultivate virtue, and these attributes will spontaneously become ingrained into you. Virtues elevate your thoughts to lofty heights, and from this vantage point, everything becomes crystal clear. Your perspectives, now expansive and broadened, reveal the world with renewed clarity.
33: Lifer with the key
The moment a wandering spirit settles into two microscopic organic substances, they rush to unite and form a zygote. The spirit drives its growth. Over the years, it accumulates physical and mental bulk, transforming the zygote into a body. The body-spirit combination becomes conditioned by its surroundings. Average spirits acquire a surfeit of mental clutter, entangling themselves in a murky existence. In contrast, loftier spirits collect less of this illusory baggage, living lives of joy, peace, and enlightenment. When the physical form deteriorates, the spirit departs.
32: Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is a formidable data-crunching system, closely replicating the human brain's functioning and thereby capable of performing in a mind-boggling manner, unlike conventional machines. However, people enthralled by its novelty have overhyped its capabilities, believing it can accomplish anything. Reality presents a different narrative. In a stunning display of human intellect, one individual successfully humbled three major AI systems in intense brainstorming sessions that spanned advanced science, philosophy, literature, and religion. It's unlikely that an AI system will surpass the human mind, with its vast, untapped potentials, at least not in the foreseeable future.
31: Enlightenment and Hypocrisy
Enlightened people are pretentious hypocrites: chameleons on a prowl. Surprisingly they don't conceal murky stench or darkness within, but rather, a symphony of sweet melody and the soft glow of truth, beauty, and goodness. They are aware that society can't tolerate the beauty of their inner selves. No matter how soft the glow or sweet the melody, they blind and deafen society. Thus, they clam up and release only a trickling flow of their inner beauty. These trickling flows brighten the world amidst the darkness of innumerable black holes, keeping the world going.
30: Existence
A grain of sand is deemed valueless because its number is almost infinite. An object gains value due to scarcity, and this value increases with the degree of scarcity; at one level, the value increases dramatically compared to the value of the aggregates the object is composed of. Limited editions hold a lot of value, and unique objects hold even greater value.
The many-worlds theory in quantum physics posits that an infinite number of identical universes overlap each other, meaning we have an infinite number of copies of ourselves and our world. What, then, is our value and the value of the world we live in?
29: Time and Space
Dart through outer space at a speed of one trillion light years for a thousand years, and you may realize you haven’t gone anywhere; you’re still around your home planet. The parameters measuring space and time stand ridiculed. People still think they are the ultimate parameters, laughing at anything that’s not measurable as myth.
28: Lineage
Across cultures,a lineage spanning seven generations is accorded special status, because, they have the conviction that, if seven generations of a lineage inculcate some particular attribute, it gives their genetics a permanent lean favoring that attribute. It might be negative or positive, but the eighth generation gets an enhanced innate ability for that attribute. Consequently, when individuals consistently exhibit a positive disposition, they authentically earn accolades for their lineage; while those with a negative disposition effectively tarnish the reputation of their ancestors, and publicly humiliate them.
27: Charm of Desert
Nothing but cleanliness and desolation, in unending undulations it stretches, kindling a sense of tranquility into the depth of the soul, Deserts are often maligned, but when temperatures are mild and supplies abundant, they reveal themselves as invigorating realms,
26: Divine Creation
Botanical beings embody the sacred essence of divinity. Their procreative processes unfold with ethereal elegance, a stark contrast to the gross and turbulent methods employed by the Zoological beings.
25: Paradox
"To truly know reality is to know it's illusion." a paradox stating a philosophical truth. Paradoxes, though seemingly nonsensical, have the power to ignite our imagination, propelling us toward a deeper understanding, much like the humble dried red chili, which lacks flavor but unleashes a fiery sensation that awakens our taste buds to the subtle nuances of cuisine.
24: Shamelessness
Shamelessness: the ultimate freedom. Lie, argue absurdly, ditch self-respect, and dispense with responsibility. Life's a joyride! But don't be fooled – acquiring shamelessness requires meticulous cultivation, passed down through generations of unapologetic ancestors.
23: Corner
You are perpetually overlooked. A house is unimaginable without you, but you bear the brunt of neglect. They heap their detestable things upon you, ignoring your presence until they’re vulnerable. Then, they rush to you, seeking solace in your depths, pouring out their grief in your silent embrace. Despite the mistreatment, you absorb it all with saintly forbearance. In every celebration, you’re the forgotten one, yet you remain steadfast, always ready to safeguard their essentials. You are the humble corner of the house, a testament to selfless devotion.
22: Naive Conspirators
The most effective tactic employed by conspirators is to feign naivety. They deliberately cultivate the darker aspects of their personality, honing them to razor-sharp precision, while neglecting to develop even the most basic manners and virtues. This calculated deception creates an aura of innocence and emotional vulnerability, which, being genuine, is all the more convincing. As a result, even the most intelligent individuals can fall prey to their trap.
21: Academic Writing
Sentences suffused with technical terminology and crafted with careful structures that are lifeless and often more incomprehensible than the subjects they aim to explain are indeed becoming the hallmark of academic writing. So, is academic writing used to make simple subjects complex?
20: Incarnations
A lifeless body, paradoxically, improves with age and wear, resistant to decay unless induced. In every state, it emits a sweet, enchanting fragrance. Even in death, it selflessly serves all. Such is the allure of this lifeless, yet extraordinary, form. For within their sturdy frame, divine souls resided, incarnations of the sacred. Truly, trees embody the divine.
19: Blessings of Nature
For thousands of years, inhabitants of the world's hot regions have revered nature's majesty. The wise among them deified elements of the natural world, cultivating a harmonious coexistence with nature. This symbiotic relationship preserved nature's pristine beauty, yielding an unbridled state of happiness in life.
18: Quantum Physics
Quantum Physics has elevated science to a profound universal realm, where deep thinkers, mystics, and philosophers can ponder its mysteries without being encumbered by mathematical equations or complex formalisms.
17: Rivers
An extension thousands of kilometers long, living, edenic, churning and dynamically charactered entity anchored to a descending bed, slumbers yet stirs, a paradox of stillness and flux, is the earliest conveyor belt powered by nature's forces. It ferries vitalizing liquid and nutrients from the upper reaches, where they might lie dormant, to the depths below, where they become the very essence of life. Truly, a river is irreplaceable.
16: Nature's Rhythms
Most people, willingly, don’t, through the day, look often at a desired face, their deity, or even at nature; what they watch are two spindly, confined, excruciatingly slow-moving objects, usually not very attractive. Our lives have degenerated into being governed by the two hands of the clock, chipping away life out of living. Nature has her own rhythm, and if it governs life, it would bless us with a life of profound fulfillment.
15: Essence of Humanity
Beware, humans. Be imaginative, be creative, and be emotional, or perish, for these are the only realms where machines and AI can never touch you with their pseudo imagination, pseudo creativity, or pseudo emotions. In all other fields, they can outpace you, as they have no Monday morning blues, psychological problems, or prejudices, and they can function tirelessly with clockwork precision.
14: Essence of Life
Nature is the pristine default, a state of effortless harmony. Technology, in its relentless evolution, manipulates the natural order, introducing complexities that entangle the simplicity of existence. Life resonates in synchrony with the naturals, but when complications insidiously creep in, the essence of life begins to erode.
13: Erosion of Creativity
Artificial intelligence can't have genuine creativity as it processes on stale creative elements, but it's a pity that humans are becoming less creative than AI.
12: Physics Indisciplined
Our beloved physics has become a vagabond. It was a disciplined child in its early years, always staying within its dimensional homestead. Since the early twentieth century, it has fallen into bad company, straying beyond its dimensional territory into the uncharted wilderness. It hopelessly expects the wilderness to subscribe to its own family culture. Tenaciously making such a futile attempt has devastated it psychologically. Sometimes it speaks like the wandering monks of yore. Perhaps a wise and compassionate psychologist can guide our wayward physics back to harmony with the untamed beauty of the wilderness.
11: The Collective Consciousness
Despite its breathtaking strides, artificial intelligence, with all its advancements, is woefully inadequate in matching the brilliance of the human brain. If ever in the near future, artificial general intelligence becomes a reality, it will be a tiny advancement compared to the human brain. No matter how advanced artificial intelligence may become, it will forever be a pale reflection of natural intelligence, as the collective natural intelligence or consciousness is the creator of everything, including artificial intelligence.
10: Black Magic
Black magic: the name conjures a sinister, evil image, but it may not be as inherently malevolent as widely believed. Instead, black magicians could be seen as potent individuals deeply addicted to the material world, the way, saints pursue the spiritual realm. Most people, strongly attached to material possessions without the power of black magicians, might be considered impotent black magicians.

8: Overthinking
Overthinking is often cited as the root of countless woes. One of its harmful effects is the subtle yet relentless drain on our pockets. Manipulators, seeding doubts and fears about various aspects of life, including our health, make us paranoid. Then they strike, peddling exploitative solutions that promise to ease our anxieties and simplify our lives.
7: Poetry
Poetry dwells in a realm above the mundane. As it flows from the poet, a physical being is transformed into a transcendental one, their essence merging with the eternal. The earthly individualistic feeling elevates to the level of universal feeling, transcending the material realm to the realm above, where the self dissolves into the infinite.
6: Automotive Culture
American life is so intricately woven with automobiles that they have become an integral part of the culture, bolstered by a matching infrastructure. Per capita, they boast the highest number of automobiles. The wise society of this nation never encourages scrapping of vehicles. They understand that replacing an old car with a new one, albeit incrementally less polluting, incurs a thousandfold increase in pollution from manufacturing alone, compared to what the old car would emit over fifty years. Moreover, the disposal of the old car adds to the environmental burden. This approach also risks the delicate market balance between new and pre-owned cars, placing additional financial strain on consumers. That's why one can still see Americans pottering around in their cars from the 1960s, a testament to this enduring relationship with their automotive past.
5: Backbiters
When a person informs you about someone's backbiting against you, ought you to take them seriously? The moment a person shares such news, their own credibility becomes questionable. Now consider the backbiter: Life is a dynamic flow, and despite the apparent smiles and seeming stability, everyone is fighting their own battles. Unless they are among the enlightened, their minds are often in a state of turmoil. In this turbulent state, someone might have spoken ill of you, but many other times they could have praised you. Thus, you shouldn't take such words to heart.
The enlightened ones, when they hear someone speaking well of you, season it with delicacies and present it before you as a delectable dish, hoping to foster a new relationship. Such individuals are the true builders of civilizations.
4: Hollow People

3: Death the greatest Liberator
Mr. Donne, you said, ""Death be not proud," but why shouldn't 1 be? 1 am the greatest liberator. In my presence, your prison shatters, freeing you from the desires that were the bars of your confinement. I come to release you from this prison fondly called a body, if you resist the allures linked to it.
2: Creativity
Artificial intelligence cannot possess genuine creativity, as it merely processes existing creative elements. Ironically, humans, the original source of creativity, seem to be becoming less creative than the AI they've created.
1: An Ethereal Affair
Want to start an affair with someone? Yes, you can. You can start one with someone special, from any gender or any age, one that transcends the boundaries of time, space, and convention. Unlike the affairs you might be
thinking about at the back of your mind, this one is deeply fulfilling, joyous, and enlightening. It's not constrained to moonlit nights, candlelights, or any other romantic settings, and it doesn't land you in tricky situations or affect your dignity negatively; rather, it enhances dignity and refinement. This affair, in contrast to physical affairs, operates on a mental plane. Romance or fleeting moments of passion aren't its fuel, but it acts as a collaboration for virtuous pursuits, a synergy between two minds seeking enlightenment.
