Happier is the new Happy! It is tragic, yet often fascinating, to observe how people are more concerned with proving, almost competitively, that they are happier or having a better time than others instead of genuinely enjoying their lives.

The 'Oxy-morons' I am afraid I have to confess that I am partially disturbed when they are found, for 'oxy-morons' tend to infect many sectors from writing to mass media! But what are they? Well, the sarcastic term was proudly engineered by a friend to address an observation of mine: It appears that including two contradicting concepts or realities or sometimes even just verbs in the same sentence, is widely considered as a display of superior intellectuality. Some statements of such nature are indeed remarkable and thought provoking yet I think they constitute a silent minority compared to the unstoppable massively produced pseudo-intellectual junk. I reckon the very observation that I am describing is still unclear, so let's see some examples! ' Jack was teetering between the clarity of his thoughts and the underlying darkness of his heart' 'There is a difference between standing still and not walking' ( woooo!) Having just made up these two phrases they might not be the best of examples but I reckon they are good enough. As you can see both of them present two opposing concepts-clear mind/dark heart and not walking/standing still. As you can also see in both cases the terms and implications are quite wide to suit any reader, leaving the #quotes open to different interpretations. In fact both of the phrases above are actually junk because they were created in half a minute's time, only based in repeatedly recycled concepts, yet they were tailored in a way to suit all tastes and more importantly had two contradicting concepts to spice it up. It is as if the mind naturally responds with excitement to the co-existence of two factors it believes to be separate. Imagine a long thriller movie rhat involves an outrageously unexpected twist- the twist is what will or won't earn the audience's appreciation. Accordingly, the work of 'oxy-morons' is like a tiny and extremely short thriller movie that gives you the setting in the first few words of the sentense and the twist in its middle or end. As a prospective marketer I only admire the ability of small easily composed phrases of no particular content to affect people but as a writing enthusiast I find it apalling ( oh the irony, two opposing ideas in one person!)

Thinking for the Sake of Thinking Just like several writers who write for the sake of writing and not because they have something in particular to say, many people tend to ponder just because they believe they have to do so in order to preserve or develop their spiritual state. Nevertheless spurious concern manifests spurious problems and invisible enemies are not easy to fend off.

Fashion of Righteousness There is a social wave in our times- a tendency. A tendency to intensely warn, frown upon and dissaprove of choices that do not fit the major popular norm. For instance it is directed towards people that do not recycle, smokers , drinkers etc. Trying to help an individual with a harmful habit is one thing and stigmatising them in an effort to integrate in society for personal interest is another. Unfortunately the second aspect is more common nowadays, thus cultivating a 'fashion' of righteousness rather than a culture of support and prevention.

The Meaning Everybody desperately seeks the meaning of #life.It is often a topic of both deep and cheesy discussions.Nevertheless there is one subjective, simple truth: The meaning of #life is the one you give to it. No ethic, no norm and no rule can dictate your personal will.
