Theories of a Brown Monkey
Even though I finished a degree in Philosophy in my Bachelor's, I'll still pursue it in the Graduate school and beyond because of love. I know, it's a corny reason, but love makes you corny, and loving wisdom makes me corny, so sue me.
Anywho, as the days pass and I grow older in this discipline, I realize the extent of my own stupidity. And realizing how big are these gaps, my appetite for knowledge is whetted all the more.
You see, the battle against ignorance and suffering is a life-long battle, and our only consolation, aside of course having the good life, is an ice-cold beer by the end of every week. Cheers.

If someone is stupid enough to walk away from you, be smart enough to let go.

Absence indeed intensifies. The sun, magnificent on empty skies. The lover without the beloved cries.

If you feel like you sound stupid when you talk to women, don’t worry, you do.

Hatred is misplaced love, apathy is the lack of it. This is why one can bear being hated by the beloved than being ignored by her.
— Occasional Scribbles of a Torpe
Only Divine Love seeks not to be reciprocated, not to be returned, not to be addressed and mortals that aim to love divinely are either consumed by madness or bliss or both.
