The Paradox Of the 21st by Ismaila A. Nassim

A paradox can be defined as a self contradictory statement which can only be true if it's false and false if it's true, it relates to a state where one is logically compelled to contradict ones self, in essence a paradox leaves one in a mental state of puzzlement if one was in fact right when one thought they were wrong and vice versa. A 'catch 22' is a paradoxical situation where one can not escape because of contradictory rules, rules that have been setup by individuals who are believed to have reached a degree of 'perfection' so much so that rules made are enforced, irrespective of the situation that is created from the enforcement of such rules, individuals are in fact not able to fight these rules not because they lack the will power or resources to, but fighting it actually means accepting it. 'catch 22' connotes that the inventors of it (catch 22) have created random rules to justify their own abuse of power. A simple common example of a catc...

The Depression Of The 21st by Ismaila A. Nassim

"The world is changing, I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air, much that once was is lost, for non now live who remember it" _ Lord Of The Rings- the fellowship of the rings - 2001. Emphasis can not be over stated on the awareness of the growing rate of depression in this century, depression here being ‘a mental state characterized by a pessimistic sense of inadequacy and a despondent lack of activity’ a depressed person is plagued by ‘sad feelings of gloom and inadequacy’. But why is there an increase in this abnormal mental state? Is it the advancement in data collection that has been acquired over the centuries that has brought this into light being that it’s not an increase but the same statistics only now known because the means of data collection and collation has been upgraded or advanced? Or perhaps it is indeed a growing enigma that needs to be studied and understood from its root cause? And if so what is the root cause for the rise i...

The Original Origin by Ismaila A. Nassim

The origin of a thing, refers largely to “the place where something or the thing in question begins, where it springs into being”, the first stage or part of a sequence of events. It means from that point onwards the thing begins to exist, it is therefore referred to as the original, being the authentic product of the item or thing, for an example: If the audio recording of a music is made, the music has been at that point documented and hence created and brought into existence, this is the original sound. This original has a limitation however, of duplicity, because to be an original means to stand alone, hence the need for duplicates. The ‘fault in the stars’ of a duplicate however is, it falls short of the original, being itself a copy of the original. A duplicate of a thing is not the original thing, the purpose of a duplicate is for it to seem like the original, the constant striving to achieve making a duplicate seem like the original is the main reason why the duplicate ...

Positive Vibes Only by Ismaila A. Nassim

This is a term we have seen many times and used ourselves. It denotes that the person only wants positivity around them, hence, anything that will cause negativity should be shunned, avoided, or at best not given attention too, this is a good thing emotionally, because it shows that the person who wants 'positive vibes only' has reached a level of self awareness emotionally, and can judge between positive (good) and negative (bad) vibes (energy) and hitherto, wants to work a way of pulling positivity and pushing negativity away, it will not come as a surprise to know that the person wanting 'positive vibes only' around them, has had too much of negative vibes around them and hence in them, and have reached an awareness of this negativity around and within that they want it done away with and the only way they see fit to do or achieve this is by having positivity around them at all times, because the external stimuli of an individual's environment determines what th...

Infamous Vanity by Nassim Ismaila

Two friends where having a chill discussion over a couple bottles of beer, "life is hard" say the one, "how do you mean" asks the other?, "Well we are born to die, and while we live we are constantly reminded that we will die" says the one, "it's a vicious circle", says the other. "We die to live, when we inadvertently live to die" says the one, "careful!" Says a bystander, "it might end up happening sooner for you if you keep saying that, for we are what we say." All ideas are conceptualized in the mind, all speech also have their basic construct in the mind for all speech come from a pre-construct of conceptual perception externally as created by the mind internally, the mind being the refinery of these concepts before they are sent down the ladder to be produced as sound hence words, "I think, therefore I am" these infamous words are a topic for argumentation on another platform, but for us to ...

Maturely Blemished by Nassim Ismaila

To hold two conflicting ideas in ones mind and yet to still remain ungoverned by any, this is the sign of true maturity. The point when one has reached full development which covers mental, physical, sexual, emotional development, when all these aspects of a person has been developed then we can say the person is mature or has reached maturity. The writer, however begs to differ on the grounds that maturity is not of an objective process than a subjective, being that the yardsticks for the calculations of maturity and immaturity have faulted in their construct of the processes of determining a mature and immature individual. Human society has over time, loved to find standard separations of defining things. Between the lines of right and wrong, good and bad, light and darkness, rich and poor and so on, but the fact that defining lines are there do not mean that what falls on either side deserves to be on that side because it has not met the threshold of human constructed judgem...
