    About this ebook

    This little book gives the reader one essay and 30 original poems (two of the poems are embedded in the essay). "Frustration Finds the Self-Seeker: An Essay" goes as an intrepid attempt to solve the happiness paradox. And the poems span the past few decades (the earliest ones date back to the 1980s) and bring up observations—from, or with, which the reader may find discoveries or re-discoveries of his or her own.

      Three Poems

      Mar 1, 2020

      “Why is there something rather than nothing?” feels disingenuous, on an ontological level, because we think of even nothing as something. I think of nothing as empty space in all directions. But emptiness, darkness, is something. It feels like we’d n

      The simplest theory of human nature is hedonism– – we pursue pleasure and comfort. Suffering and pain are, by their very nature, to be avoided. The spirit of this view is nicely captured in The Epic of Gilgamesh: “Let your belly be full, enjoy yourse
