Being
speaks
through every language;
everywhere and always.

I think I am not far from the truth if I state that the natural faculty of our brain to follow reason step-by-step is a natural development of our sense of causality which itself is based on how we perceive time as a flow.

Life requires change, and change brings excitement, even on a molecular level, as we all know. This excitement permeates through your ambivalence; it affects you, it becomes one with you, it becomes a warbler. No, this warbler is just another structure within you. It becomes a song of a warbler— brief and beautiful— Hooo- hokekyo, hooo- hokekyo.

"This book is all madness.
Reason is alien to these pages.
Not until the soul breathes in
the fragrance of its own lunacy
can it stop being a stranger to itself."#Bookstodon #BookReview #Sufism #EasternPhilosophy

DotR is now mature enough to be my daily driver.
Give it a try and hurl some criticism to me!

Dostoevsky's interpretation of Christianity, as found in The Brothers Karamazov, is particularly thought-provoking.
We find Jesus as a captive of the Grand Inquisitor, a prosaic yet kind soul. He, in his monologue, tried to prove that humanity cannot handle freedom and therefore should be denied that in exchange for basic needs, even some extravagance if meekly.
He employed the same rationalistic arguments we often find fascist demagogues utter in hard times.

I am working on a dotfiles manager written in Rust. It is still WIP. Feel free to review and contribute!

"My soul, will you ever be good, simple, single, and naked, brighter than the body that encases you?" — Marcus Aurelius (Meditations)

Sensitivity is a war against comfortable nonchalance. It's weighing a situation on its merits rather than our tendency to treat even the greatest atrocities as mere norms of history. It's a door in our ego to step out in the storm that is raging outside— continuously.

"Ideas are Bulletproof."
It is comforting to know the ideas I stand for are bulletproof. However, all ideas are. Those who want to thwart my ideas may have equally bulletproof ideas of their own.
The war against ideas should always be waged with words, and with better ideas.

Being the devil's advocate I am, I propose that we should make an active and sincere attempt to die.

...But, is that enough? Even two men sharing their thoughts will soon include the third. Two tribes will form a city. States will form based on mutual respect and balance of power despite the differences. Another tower in another Shinar will be built…

Diaries are, as usual, personal. But not necessarily private. This is such an entry. It also points to my innate attachment to memories, and inability to cope with change which I believe is shared by many and tells something about us all.

I'm a programmer, and writer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In an Orwellian sense, I'm also a thought criminal.
I mostly program in Python and TypeScript but recently enjoying Rust a lot. Good coding aesthetics always impress me.
Reading is my default mode of existence.
I agree with Socrates in an unexamined life is not worth living.

This was Tagore's dream of a perfect Bharat (Indian subcontinent, not the literal India right now):
"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;" -
"The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge."
