“To know that you do not know is the best. To think you know when you do not is a disease. Recognizing this disease as a disease is to be free of it.”

Tao Te Ching

we see our faults as faults without giving any reasons; half of the problem will be solved and we’ll consider as wise people.

The Fault And Acceptance

If we succeeded, we can see things clearly and we can focus on things that we want to focus on. We’ll be guilt-free without blaming others. The Blame game is worthless; we use all our energy to put blame on others. We should reverse that energy to gain knowledge or wisdom. We should recognize our faults and be proactive, if we really want to grow in our life stop blaming the outside situation and start to change from the inside.

Fault And Success

Most of the time, we failed to recognize our faults and in other cases, we just live in the denial that we’re not at fault. We see ourselves as innocent people against this vile world. But on the contrary, the problem lies within us. We don’t recognize our faults and blame others for them. When we realized, it’s too late for us. So, the philosopher wanted to say to become a wise person we need to acknowledge our faults.

To know what you do not know…. (How To Recognize Faults)

In the Tao Te Ching , Lao Tzu wrote, “To know that you do not know is highest. To not know but think you know is flawed. Only when one recognizes the fault as a fault can one be without fault. The sages are without fault. Because they recognize the fault as a fault. That is why they are without fault.”

Recognise Fault As A Fault

Wisdom lies in seeing your own foolishness. When you see your own foolishness as foolishness, you stop being a fool.

Where Does The Wisdom Lies? 

it’s strong desire, ambition, obsession, or fixation. For example, when we look really closely at our hand, we become more blind to everything else, to the bigger picture. A strong desire, ambition, or fixation leads to a partial blindness.

What prevents us from seeing our own foolishness?

It’s normal to make lots of errors. But if you see your errors as errors, you become less likely to repeat them, and by doing so, you become more knowledgable over time.

It's Normal To Make Errors

foolishness is being blind to your own errors—leading you to repeat them and preventing you from becoming more knowledgeable.

absurdism, the only philosophy of the funnies.ever wondered what the fuck is life? yeah that's existential crisis, that's related to existentialism btw.absurdism is a whole different topic, it just has some similarities with nihilism and existentialism.

My POV on Albert Camus' Philosophy of the Absurd.

absurdism states that humans try to search the meaning of life, through any means, but they fail all the time and why so?not because we are just some useless homo sapiens but because 'life is meaningless'.and even after knowing this, humans don't stop they still try to get life's meaning inside their head. and that's absurd.

But either way I am a fan of Albert Camus and that guy also stated how to live through this absurdity. He stated that life has no inherent meaning.And there are ways to make meaning of it: some make that with religion, some with money, some with drugs? and what not.BUT the only way to achieve true and lasting peace, or you could say meaning, is by looking straight at the absurdity of life. Facing it. Roasting it with your acts, laughing at it.

Only when we accept the absurdity, that we humans try to seek a meaning in a meaningless place, and face it, is when we can actually be happy.And I'll conclude this article by saying that I'm no expert in absurdism or in philosophy, and I maybe a little bit wrong here and there and that's why double check whatever you read this here. hope it makes sense.And here's a blog related to Absurdism to get started:<a href="https://www.philosophytalk.org/blog/camus-and-absurdity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Camus and Absurdity.</a>

Philosophy Of LIFE 🍁

Anything you can't control is teaching you how to let go. Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.

The Bhagavad-Gita is the main source-book on yoga and a concise summary of India's Vedic wisdom. Yet remarkably, the setting for this best-known classic of spiritual literature is an ancient Indian battlefield. At the last moment before entering battle, the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder about the real meaning of his life. Why should he fight against his friends and relatives? Why does he exist? Where is he going after death? In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krsna, Arjuna's friend and spiritual master, brings His disciple from perplexity to spiritual enlightenment. In the course of doing so, Krsna concisely but definitively explains transcendental knowledge; karma-yoga, jnana-yoga, dhyana-yoga, and bhakti-yoga; knowledge of the Absolute; devotional service; the three modes of material nature; the divine and demoniac natures; and much more. Bhagavad-Gita As It Is is the largest-selling, most widely used edition of the Gita in the world.
