Why Don’t You Rebel? Part 2

You've heard the voice, when you've wanted to change poor habits of health, some injustice in the world, some religious tradition you've never really critically examined, or that job you're barely tolerating. It's the voice that whispers to you that people will think you're strange, and may even laugh at you if you dare try to go against what everyone else is doing.

Why Don’t You Rebel?

It's defined as a refusal of obedience or order. Wikipedia goes on to say that a rebellion can encompass anything from non-violent resistance, to violent, or organized attempts at overthrowing some established authority. History is full of examples of rebels who were responsible for this sort of rabble rousing. It shows the various philosophies they lived, and how they transformed the status quo with new ways of thinking.

Dancing with an idea

Detectives Wanted

Sherlock Holmes is the man! I especially felt this way when I was a teenager.  Never had I heard of someone who could observe his environment so casually, and determine so many conclusions from what seemed, to the average eye, as insignificant.  Sherlock Holmes was the kind of guy that would be called in to [...]

Explore Truth Challenge

Ever since I’ve taken on the Explore Truth Challenge, I’ve been faced by two stark realizations. Firstly, the grandness of the quest, and secondly, the grandness of my laziness. I mean, its not like I’ve just started contemplating the great existential questions in life. This has been a roller coaster of a quest throughout [...]
