The Society for Positive Philosophy and
Interdisciplinary Studies (SPPIS), Haryana conveys best wishes on the occasion
of World Philosophy Day.
Happy World Philosophy Day
UNESCO celebrates philosophy every year
on the third Thursday in November. “In 2012, the World Philosophy Day will be
held for the tenth time, with events being organized at the international,
national and local levels. They will enable their participants to share a
multitude of views and experiences, fully respecting cultural diversity, with
regard to the main theme of the 2012 World Philosophy Day which is “Future
Generations”.
He is one of the world’s best known names, yet we
know very little about him. Here are some of his beautiful quotes:
“By all means marry; if you get a good
wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.”
“Our
youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show
disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no
longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter
before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”
“If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want,
you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because
you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be
free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But
change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.”
Best wishes on this very occasion and
enjoy this beautiful moment with a dedication towards creation of knowledge..
