Now I'm sure a couple of you may be wondering "what's the blog about" or "why should you care?"
We here at Tea Time with T Servitive have a simple philosophy:
"Happiness is the highest good and the end at which all our activities ultimately aim."
You can thank Aristotle for this insight into the meaning of life. Yes, in this day and age of boys crying wolf as lions eat the sheep, we are surrounded on two fronts by equally dangerous threats.
On the one end, we have the the boys and girls that cry wolf. They are fear mongers, bent on controlling others through coercion. They spread panic by inventing catstrophies that have no real impact but spread all the same, much like the African Killer Bees were supposed to do during the late 90's. Furthermore, those that cry wolf will take threats, both imaginary or somewhat real, and use them as leverage to manipulate others to fulfill an ulterior motive.
The second group are the lions who eat the sheep. These leviathans are comprised of people and organizations who pray upon others, again through manipulation and brute force. However, unlike those that cry wolf, the lions truly pose a threat to the physical, mental, social, economic, and moral health of society at large. The lions stalk their pray, choosing to attack in secret, but will jump out from the bush when provoked or when the opportunity presents itself.
-For a Libertarian, the lion is the state.
-For an Atheist, the lion is organized religion.
-For a Student, the lion is the University.
We are brushed aside when we contradict the boy that cries wolf and we are powerless to defend the sheep from the lions. For some who look upon this situation, Nihilism, Pessimism, and Submission seam to be the best courses of action.
Not Here
Here ate Tea Time with T Servitive, our goal is simple: We want to provide the keys to happiness for those who have embraced Rationalism, yet do not have an idea of where to turn. I cannot promise you happiness, for happiness is earned through self realization and accomplishment.
Do not dispare.
What we can provide is insight into the world we live in: the good, the bad, and the ugly. We hope to provide this insight through sharing articles, podcasts, blog posts, YouTube videos, and the like to our viewers, both original and external alike.
So, if this seams like your cup of tea, then my friends:
