"Nature evaluates a character on the basis of its merits, not demerits."
Raheel Farooq

Raheel Farooq
"Falsehood of a good man is better than truth of a bad one."

"Man is a logical machine run by the scoundrels of emotions."
Raheel Farooq
"Rules are where there is a lack. They are to make up the deficiency, explicit or implicit. The system of existence, being complete in itself, is in no need to follow any of them. The appearance of disorder---or even order, in contrast---is when we observe something as a detached entity. Taken as a whole, the Universe is absolute, nothing being lacking, insignificant, or improvable. So, any such thing as a Theory of Everything (TOE) is a mere chimera."
Raheel Farooq
"Philosophy is an infertile hybrid. Life is a prolific hermaphrodite."

"Destination is, ideally, where one should stop; and ideally, one should not stop. Practically, destination of a great man is where he wants to stop; of a common man, where he has to. The one ends with Will, the other with Reason. Morality is always pursued, never reached!"
Raheel Farooq
"Thoughts are ghosts of emotions."

Raheel Farooq
"An apparent misfortune of man is that neither good nor evil is an agency itself; both are equally passive choices. Man himself is the ultimate agency. He has the power to realize and activate the dead options. Only then, that is, by the action of Will, good results in good and evil in evil."
Raheel Farooq
"Encouraging virtue is better than suppressing vice."
Raheel Farooq
"The concept of Free Will makes no sense unless associated, somehow or the other, with Absolute Determinism; it is just as a man cannot walk without gravity arresting and spurring his pace simultaneously."
Raheel Farooq
"Predictability is not how things will go, but how they can go."
Raheel Farooq
"Desire is a great virtue, but expectation is an even greater vice."
Raheel Farooq
"I'd love to be what I have been."
