I am a Utilitarian!


I think it pretty much sums up my philosophy in life. The bad side is (?) I am a bit too hedonistic.


You scored as Utilitarianism. Your life is guided by the principles of Utilitarianism: You seek the greatest good for the greatest number.



�The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.�

--Jeremy Bentham



�Whenever the general disposition of the people is such, that each individual regards those only of his interests which are selfish, and does not dwell on, or concern himself for, his share of the general interest, in such a state of things, good government is impossible.�

--John Stuart Mill

If tomorrow was today, today would be yesterday...

One of my favourite songs by The Beatles. Pressure is in an all time high with stuff piling up left, right, and center. These are the times where you long for a better yesterday than a better tomorrow. If tomorrow was today, today would be yesterday, But I long for my yesterday, Your yesterday, And our yesterday. I hope there is yet another day, Will it be any good like yesterday? P.S: These words are mine, song lyrics is there in the song itself. Trivia: Paul McCartney had a dream in which he heard the tune and he immediately composed the music. He didn't have any lyric and used to sing "Scrambled Eggs" instead of "Yesterday" while composing the song,

A Party...

Looks like I have to be really careful... So was not in the best of moods. I usually hate these kind of parties when I have no company.

Went upstairs...they were making food and the dining area...bad place to...
