It tells us something about someone who is good regardless. It’s a rare specimen. Goodness takes more, therefore it is more rewarding. Think of just how much good one’s capable. We’re wired for compassion towards one another, it therefore feels good to do good, and there’s no being good without…

We get tired of the same old routine. In our search for more exciting prospects, some of us rebel against boredom, declare an all-out-war over stagnation. In these heightened states, predominantly anger comes to mind. An angered response is part of who we are, we’re told, not much we can…

Ambivalent forces in our lives pull and push us in every direction, but in any case, we can know for sure the case is: the familiar versus the unknown. If we keep on walking through uneventful alleys, the light inevitably will pass us by. When it comes to popular choices…

We have to understand ourselves. Hence the infamous axiom attributed to Socrates: Know thyself. There’s an epistemological problem: What exactly does “knowing” entail here?
