Yesterday versus Today
While there has been much change from our ancestors, has man really progressed in anything other than material comfort?
Striking at the Heart
Man is an emotional creature, sometimes bordering on irrational; often his problems arise because of some particular sensitivity. Openness might help us better understand our affective thinking and behaviour.
Social Issues
Begins with things that happen in Singaporean society and (depending on the issue) the greater human society. These issues will have an impact on society. What solutions could there be to these problems?
“Its the Economy, Stupid”
Bill Clinton’s now famous phrase, is the Category for more material issues. These posts address what the writer assumes to be possible challenges in the not-so-distant future, and some suggestions from a layman’s perspective.
Just the Brain
Humans are emotional creatures. Very often in this world that we live in, emotion tends to make us see things in a blurred fashion and to make improper justifications for our beliefs. Humans however are also capable of being rational beings, hence these essays will try and look at issues from a dispassionate perspective and come to a personal conclusion on which is the more valid perspective.
Quotes
There are those who have the ability to see things as a whole, and to condense a situation down to its essence. Their gift for words in bearing these observations makes it profitable to bear their opinions in mind and heart.
Religious Reflections
Life is a pilgrimage to heaven, a temporal life can be good or bad, but certainly no one wants his permanent life to be purgatorial. In order to believe one’s faith, one needs to know what it is that he believes, hence religious reflections.
Politics in Singapore
A rather self explanatory Category isn’t it? The only thing which qualifies this writer to speak on it is his nationality as a Singaporean. These essays will analysis include policy discussion, political developments etc.
Thinking Out Loud
Short questions with no right or wrong answer and without any agenda. Questions about the world we live in and why things are the way they are.
