My Own Philosophy

Hello everybody... I guess greeting you all a happy new year is never late, so, happy new year. I didn't compose a blog for quite a long time now because I didn't have the energy I really wanted to release(refer to blog title).

I have also been busy, so don't expect me to write regulary. I'll be writing occasionally, yes, occasionally. In this blog entry, I will propose my greatest thing yet(read blog entry title)...

I'm a bit excited to present this to all of you as I have thought of it well. Here I go...

My Own Philosophy

I never thought I could actually come up with these kind of things... I even came up with absolutely ridiculous names:

1. josepocholochicosebastianism(my favorite, which is my whole name with ism)
2. josism(my first name)
3. ilogism(ilog, tagalog for river)

Then... I based it on my two concepts... Which I call the two towers... So I came up with a "good" name. (It's still actually bad)

Dostorrism(from the spanish word Dos, meaning two, and the spanish word torre, meaning tower)

Why the name? Again, the concept is split into two towers. The two towers are two concepts which are used by the mind. Towers stand tall, and these concepts surely stand above the other possible components of the mind as these are concepts are introduce are used to deal with the harsh realities of life.

Torre Uno: Two Minds

We are composed of two minds. All human beings are.

First, there is the high mind, the mind wherein everything is processed, where everything is put in place.

Do you know when sometimes you are given a problem? A good example is when (1)choosing a course for college. You want a course for sure. (2) Or when you want to apply for work somewhere, and you have finally decided where to go to and you're sure of it.

Then there's the interpreter mind.

In the examples above, in (1), your friends are applying for a different course and they're all going for just one. They ask you which course you want. You tell them the same thing as they want. (2), the other company offers you a higher salary and you are losing your luxuries. You then go to the company with a higher salary even if you don't like it much.

How do these two parts work?

The high mind, which is sure of all things it processes, is the mind which is truly ours, never influenced by anything, as in (1), he really wants the course and same as in (2), he really wants the place. Both examples, the person knows it. This is caused by the high mind.

The interpreter mind is the one which ruins the superior mind on most occasions. This is the mind which is affected by all outside factors, such as friends and the need to adjust to the brutal game that is life, as in (1) and (2) respectively. We are usually influenced by these factors because we are pressure by those around us... Which is the trend? What do I need? What do they want me to do? What will they do?

Sometimes the biggest mistakes in life is when we follow the interpreted results of the high mind, when we are forced to get into something we don't really like. People now dream the dreams of the people around them or of the society. We don't want that. Let's aim for our own ambitions, not ambition of others.

In other words the interpreter is that which attempts to adjust the reults of the high mind to suit those factors around us.

We want the high mind to be above the interpreter. One of the reasons I named it high mind is because of its need to triumph. Just like the common good over bad.

To be able to overcome the demons of the world, we must follow that which we think and believe, but keep in mind we still do not know everything. We can only stand up for that which we know, never for that which is beyond the grasp of our mind.

Torre Dos: Time Is Never On Our Side

Remember that I said these concepts make it easier in this harsh life. I know everyone experiences time turning its back on us. Whenever we are doing something we want, that which we desire, whenever we look at the time it's suddenly gonna be all over in 5 minutes. Whenever we do something which we despise and hate, time moves as if it is slowed down by some vortex from another dimension. (I still can't believe I'm doing this entry)

Whenever you have to get up in the morning at about 7am and you sleep at about 10pm, that 9 hours of sleep seems like a minute. Sleep and then get up. You see... Time sucks.

Time keeps on playing with us every now and then, yet we do not see or feel it. It is an element of life which is abstract but hits us hard every now and then. We keep getting stuck in places because of traffic or delays, and we worry because there isn't much time. You see, time controls us.

You see, they key to this is Torre Dos' text, its mentality. Knowing this, we must keep in mind that "slowly but surely" is a very obsolete concept. Right now, as time keeps playing with us even more, it's "quickly and surely". We must make the most of each and every happy moment in our life because time runs quick.

It is up to us to achieve our goals and cope with time, as it is never going to adjust for time. Noone's too lucky nowadays. Time is never on our side.

With that I conclude my philosophy. I hope you liked it and may you apply it to your lovely lives.

Trying the NBA: LeBron James

It's back to magnificence for the king. The Cavaliers have a winning record and they can't thank him enough for his big late heroics.

Thank you for reading.
