Perspectives on Death

Shayan's Sphere

Often regarded as one of the few certainties of life, death has always been a major concern of human race since time immemorial. Over the years many philosophers as well as non-philosophers have given many similar as well as contrasting theories on death but nothing so profound till date can give the exact and truest definition of death? Then why the subject death is still one of the most discussed topic in current world? And above all, what is it that compels us to fear death?

To answer this question, Jaff Mason argues that the concept of death has no subjective meaning. Death and its concepts are absolutely empty. No clear picture comes to mind when we think about death. All we can conclude is that death is either real or vague. If it’s real than it is the termination of one’s life entirely and if it is vague it…

ore de drum

Mexic, 2019

După trei săptămâni în Mexic, mi-a fost foarte greu să mă readaptez la întoarcerea în țară.

DSCN4591 (1)

Mult timp după aceea am simțit lipsa acelor oameni simpli și sentimentali.

dscn4389-1-e1577133696518.jpg

Am parcurs ruta Ciudad de Mexico-San Juan de Chamula-San Cristobal de las Casas-Palenque-Campeche-Merida-Valladolid-Chetumal-Tulum-Cancun.

Mexicul are o reputație turistică controversată și mexicanii sunt conștienți că turiștii au temeri.

dscn5359-e1577133616478.jpg

De aceea, localnicii se străduiesc să demonstreze că nu e atât de rău cum se spune și lasă întotdeauna de la ei.

dscn4375-1-e1577133550293.jpg

În primele zile, am crezut că am avut noroc să nimeresc doar peste oameni binevoitori

dscn5540-1.jpg

și așteptam să vină momentul vreunei nemulțumiri sau frustrări turistice, așa cum se întâmplă peste tot.

dscn5353-1-e1577133794988.jpg

Dar în cele trei săptămâni, în fiecare clipă,

bunăvoința firească și naturală a oamenilor mă uimea pe zi ce trece.

Mexicanii au o ingenuitate și o corectitudine exemplare, principii scurse din demnitatea firească de a nu înșela un oaspete…

Following the crowd,we are left as a crowd!

My experience

Following the crowd, we are left as a crowd. It is necessary for success to walk on new paths. But, the fear within us stops us from growing on unintended paths. Once you release this fear. So there is no need to look back. There are always two paths in front. You move on the path on which fewer people walk. This changes everything.
