Summary

The website content presents a reflection on the concept of chance and the human role in shaping one's destiny, through a series of haikus under the "Daily Dose of Philosophy" section.

Abstract

The "Daily Dose of Philosophy" on the website offers a contemplative piece on the theme of chance, using the traditional Japanese poetry form of haiku. It encourages readers to recognize the uncertainty of life and the importance of taking initiative to create meaningful experiences. The haikus suggest that while serendipity can be wonderful, it requires one to be in motion to encounter it. The author advises against passively waiting for opportunities, urging instead to actively seek them out. The piece concludes with a thank you to the readers and an invitation to stay tuned for more philosophical insights. Additionally, the website features links to other haikus in the series, covering themes such as cooperation, hate, tribe, balance, and friends.

Another day has come, what lies head we may not know but what will make of it is on us. I hope you make it a monumental day.

Serendipity…

Wonderful as it maybe

First, you need to move.

We wait for chances

Growing in age as we age

Do not wait, find them.
