Bio
Philosophy, for me, is not just an intellectual pursuit but a way to continuously grow, question, and connect with others on a deeper level. By reflecting on ideas we challenge how we see the world and our place in it.

The Moral Cost of Economic Inequality
Economic inequality is not just a problem of income gaps it is a mirror that reflects the moral and structural failings of modern societies. While global wealth has grown at unprecedented rates, that prosperity has not been shared equitably. Instead, it has become increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few. The consequences are not only economic but deeply social and moral. To understand the full weight of this issue, we must look beyond numbers and ask what kind of world we are creating when so much is held by so few.

Turn Criticism to Motivation
In every pursuit be it personal, professional, or creative criticism is inevitable. It comes in many forms: an offhand remark, a performance review, a comment online. At times, it stings; at others, it deflates. But within every critique lies a choice: to let it hinder us or to let it push us forward. The difference lies not in the criticism itself, but in how we receive it. When we learn to reframe criticism as motivation, it becomes not an obstacle, but a catalyst for growth.

Wise Words from Musicians
1. Be True to Yourself “Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.” – Kurt Cobain Explanation: This quote addresses a deeply human struggle: the desire to fit in or live up to someone else’s expectations. Kurt Cobain, who himself wrestled with fame, alienation, and identity, points out that constantly comparing yourself to others or trying to mimic their success only distances you from your own path. Each person has their own strengths, flaws, voice, and story. Trying to be someone else erases the potential of who you already are. Instead of measuring yourself against others, this quote calls for radical self-acceptance and the courage to develop your own identity, even when it's misunderstood or unrefined.
