From My Heart, to God

In all honesty, Lord, my main desire in life is to limit suffering as much as possible. I am most concerned with limiting my personal suffering, but I also care for all other sentient beings and don’t want them to suffer either.

Is Everything Made of Water?

Excuse the bizarre title and bear with me; it’ll make sense in a minute. This is my first Friday Philosophy post, and each week I’m going to be looking at a key idea from a renowned philosopher. We’ll start back in 620BC, which was the approximate birth date of Thales of Miletus, an ancient Greek… Continue reading
