Quote by Dejan Stojanovic

“Even if we proclaim that life equates to existence, the word life, irrespective of its correct and applicable meanings on various levels, is still insufficient to describe or relate to the totality of life. In the terminological sense, we must enrich the word life to mean or include the whole existence, irrespective of our inherited way of thinking. In this way, the new term of the same word, with an enriched meaning, would be rightly established.”

“The life of non-thinking beings does not equate to the existence of all. The sheer existence of anything is proof of its life; otherwise, it would not exist. Only non-existent is not alive. Life would not be possible if existence did not contain life in its totality. What is manifested as life, appearing to us as real life, is only the evolution or transformation of existence, which is already having a life. Our understanding and description of life do not equate with life itself but only with our definition and understanding.”

“The truth will always be what it is; the facts will always be what they are. Since we cannot change the truth or the facts, we can only change (improve) our minds, descriptions, and understanding. As long as we fight to preserve our truths and facts, provided they are not representations of the “absolute truth” and facts, we fight against the facts and the truth under the disguise of our definitions and proclamations sold as “real truths and facts.”

“The objective measure of beauty is beauty itself. The real measure of life is life itself. The objective measure of existence is existence itself. We are part of the beauty of the existing world. Through us, the world measures and enjoys itself in its myriad ways. Life and the world impose standards, but we also make and impose our standards. Our standards must be in accordance, to the highest degree, with the factual state of the world to be a real representation of the world at its best. If our standards deviate from this high demand, then what is left is mostly simulacrum, proportionate to the degree of our deviation or departure from the highest possible standards.”

“Living by the highest possible standards means opening the doors of the highest truths through the possible means. To live by the sheer desire or “will to power” means to open the labyrinths of personal truths and thoughts that we camouflage as facts and truths themselves. Only the desire and will to goodness can be the model for obtaining the highest truths possible. In that way, the highest obtainable power comes not from the will to power but from the will to truth itself, representing the will to goodness and wisdom obtained in such a manner.”

“The power of real power would lead to the representation of goodness, obtained by deserved truth (ultimate wisdom). A deserved truth is the source of happiness (through wisdom) and the power without the representation of power in the way we are used to. Real power, as the representation of the truth, is “shy” because its purpose is not to impress, oppress, or enslave but to enliven, enrich, and empower life itself (which is the life of all and not only those who hold power).”

“Not all questions and problems are real and legitimate philosophical problems, and such sterile pursuits are not genuine and cannot be treated or accepted as genuine philosophical problems except to promote their proponents. We can equate extreme skepticism to parasitism because it questions and undermines that from which it gets its energy and life. Its own life is clear proof of this falsity and paradox.”

“Every serious endeavor and attempt to understand the world and reality better is philosophy, in a way, and any person pursuing such goals is a philosopher in his or her own right. On the other hand, not all who call themselves philosophers are real philosophers unless they seriously and genuinely resolve outstanding philosophical issues. To doubt for the sake of doubting is not only extreme skepticism but is also sterile.”
