Jiddu Krishnamurti

Philosopher, author, inspiration.

Krishnamurti is more of a thinker than he is anything. Putting what he does in his work into words and describing it is honestly a difficult task. This author analyzes life and society as a whole through breaking down the basis of consciousness in individuals. He puts great detail into explaining why we as humanity act in the way that we do, and what our behaviors have done for us. By taking commonly faced situations in society and dissecting them, it causes readers to think about the big picture, and assists in the impossible task of reaching an understanding on the purpose of life and education as a whole. In his writing, Krishnamurti depends heavily on metaphors, comparing the reason behind human behavior to events which relate to help his readers better understand the concept that's so difficult to grasp the mind around. Along with these, by analyzing society, he advises the most beneficial decision on how to fix the mess of society which we've created through inspirational yet simple messages.

An excerpt from his book "Education and the Significance of Life"

"Fear perverts intelligence and is one of the causes of self centered action. Discipline may suppress fear but does not eradicate it, and the superficial knowledge which we receive in modern education only further conceals it. When we are young, fear is instilled into most of us both a home and at school. Neither parents nor teachers have the patience, the time or the wisdom to dispel the instinctive fears of childhood, which, as we grow up, dominate our attitudes and judgment and create a great many problems. The right kind of education must take into consideration this question of fear, because fear warps our whole outlook on life."

You'll hate your-self Till the day you die

Scott Lewis


Death metal lyrics are written art that are the driving force in praising the perverse and obscene. There are feelings, beliefs, and ideas portrayed in these lyrics that many people are afraid to admit to thinking about, never mind encompassing their entire lives into them as vocalist Scott Lewis has. Scott Lewis is the vocalist for the band Carnifex. His work is identified with feelings of anger, withdrawal, loss, and impulse which all people have experienced and can relate to. His work inspires me to accept my feelings, and he has a way of elucidating my thoughts and putting them in a more simpler manner that I can comprehend with ease. The savage, vulgar lyrics reak with destruction as I sometimes feel my mind does, which makes me feel comfortable and more able to accept my feelings as a healthy part of life. Scott Lewis' helps me let go of situations, move on, and channel frustration. Lately I feel as if I am psychologically dependent on the rage this man excretes. Any problem in the world can be solved by simply listening the words of Scott Lewis. If anyone ever feels lost, angry, alone, or heartbroken, the words of this great man can be very therapeutic if you take the time to allow his influence.
