Truth and reality are two different things. Truth is nothing more or less than an expression of reality as you perceive it, while reality being something totally independent of, and indifferent to how you express, or even, perceive it. People differ only in their reference to reality; and this difference is not without its own implications. Certain interpretations have more value in certain situations, and vice versa. Any number of opposite propositions may be true simultaneously, but their truth value will ultimately decide their worth. From which angle to look at reality at a certain time, is a wisdom philosophy is not designed to endow. It can only help you refine your perception. In order to choose and change your mode of perception, you perhaps need Will.Raheel Farooq
16

35

53
Predictability is not how things will go, but how they can go.Raheel Farooq
54
An apparent misfortune of man is that neither good nor evil is an agency itself; both are equally passive choices. Man himself is the ultimate agency.

What, " "how, " "when, " etc are all questions more or less common to religion and philosophy. But to ask "why" is a transgression in religion, and this inquiry has undoubtedly taken the heaviest tolls on intellect.Raheel Farooq
60
Man is meant for good but designed for evil.Raheel Farooq
61
Thoughts are ghosts of emotions.Raheel Farooq
62
Destination is, ideally, where one should stop; and ideally, one should not stop. Practically, destination of a great man is where he wants to stop; of a common man, where he has to. The one ends with Will, the other with Reason. Morality is always pursued, never reached!Raheel Farooq
63
Rules are where there is a lack. They are to make up the deficiency, explicit or implicit. The system of existence, being complete in itself, is in no need to follow any of them. The appearance of disorder---or even order, in contrast---is when we observe something as a detached entity. Taken as a whole, the Universe is absolute, nothing being lacking, insignificant, or improvable. So, any such thing as a Theory of Everything (TOE) is a mere chimera.Raheel Farooq
64

71
Knowledge cannot be maintained without character.Raheel Farooq
72
One mistake cannot justify another.Raheel Farooq

Will is intention favored by emotions.Raheel Farooq
74

76

80
Consider an achievement accidental if it is not coupled with modesty. Because if the achiever had endeavoured for it, it would certainly have killed their pride.Raheel Farooq
81
Religion is not what appears. It's what guides the appearance. There is an appearance of everything. But the appearance doesn't always have something behind it.Raheel Farooq
82
Analysis is soul of thought and ghost of wit.Raheel Farooq
83
Ideas can't die, not because they are conceived by humans, but because time begets them.Raheel Farooq

89
The truth is not what I look for. It is what I look at!Raheel Farooq
90
Always doubtful is the one who always looks for certainty.Raheel Farooq
91
Time is conscience of the universe.Raheel Farooq
92
It's not that people don't know when they'll die. It's that they don't seem to know they'll die.Raheel Farooq
93
A beautiful girlfriend is worth two more.Raheel Farooq
94
If philosophy has to serve some really noble purpose, it must be more observant than critical towards life.Raheel Farooq
95
Comparison is the most abused intellectual tool of all. We compare men and women, man and God, good and bad, equal and unequal, forgetting that this sin only results in a punishment so severe that we can't even trace it back to its origins. All we're left with in the end is ambiguity, uncertainty, lethargy and and Kafka!Raheel Farooq
96
Logic is a mere iceberg in the Mediterranean of wisdom.Raheel Farooq
97
Paradoxes are less paradoxical in their reference to truth than most of the most plausible axioms.Raheel Farooq
98
Religion and philosophy have different logics, speak different languages. Their logics are mutually exclusive, languages sometimes overlapping. It is hard to find something really common in them. I think I---a man in totally unconditional pursuit of happiness, whatever it is, wherever it lies---am only supposed to consider which of them has more in common with life!Raheel Farooq
99
Intellect is limited, but it has one great merit; it can recognise its limits!Raheel Farooq

The greatest of fools are those who fail to mark the invisible from the nonexistent.Raheel Farooq
