Betake yours to Philosophy

Betake yours to Philosophy - to live by foresight than impulse

Seneca - Letters from a Stoic


Seneca says :

If you want to be safe, untroubled, happy ,fine and most importantly free,

undertake philosophy -


What is philosophy ?

Philosophy is a life led by design, forethought and conduct.

you may be called effeminate, lacking courage,

strength , whatever - forever living with ideas of philosophy -

but do not get deceived!


Wisdom is language of God - to live aligned with "HIM" , NATURE

it is the only steady path - 

for life out of sync with Philosophy - is purely a life of impulse - 

Philosophy is a life of forethought and design


Philosophy helps you march ahead even if slowly

A life lived otherwise - is not moving forwards - rather -

you are caught in a whirlpool of events

- like the driftwood in the stream - being sloshed and tossed -hither and thither 


and you end up asking yourself -

"how did i get into this situation? "

Oh Man! , I know the Answer  :

you relied more on Impulse, Instinct and

melodrama(reaction )rather than Wisdom, Forethought and Response


A life need to lived by design rather than default
