Articles and reflections

Tuesday, lunch break. You scroll through your phone and stop at the photos of a former schoolmate who has moved to another city: a window open onto the sea, a bicycle leaning against a wall, a caption about a “new life”. Then you go back to your desk, to the office lighting, to the road you have taken every morning for years. All afternoon one thought stays with you: if I were somewhere else, I would be better off. That thought deserves to be listened to. It may hold a passing weariness, a neglected possibility, something that has long been looking for room. Understanding what it is asking of us is harder. Because in the image of a different life we see at once what we would like to find, and far less what we would bring with us. The window onto the sea is right there, before our eyes. The rest we still have to imagine. Looking at the place where we are Among the writings of the Hippocratic corpus there is one entitled Airs, Waters, Places .

Hello to all you free and curious spirits! Today I’m going to take you into the world of philosophy with a touch of lightness and wit, because we are about to explore the theme of other people’s judgement through the eyes of the great philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. Schopenhauer reminds us that, in life, it is inevitable that others will judge us – who has never received a disapproving look or a careless comment? But I want to let you in on a secret: anyone who judges you is only trying to understand a small part of an immense mystery called “you”.

Schopenhauer suggests that we poke fun at other people’s judgement because, in the end, the audience will never be able to fully understand the complexity of your score. When someone judges us, we might easily panic or try to live up to their standards. But Schopenh...

Hello everyone! Today we want to share with you an exciting journey of discovery towards our inner voice, inspired by the wise words of Friedrich Nietzsche. Let’s get ready to dive into a world of reflection and authenticity! Nietzsche taught us that true wisdom lies within us, like a precious gem hidden in the heart. Often, in the frenzy of modern life, we drift away from ourselves and lose sight of who we really are. But now it is time to stop and listen carefully to what our heart and our mind have to say. “He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster” – these words push us to reflect on the challenges we face every day. Knowing ourselves is the first step towards not losing our authenticity in the chaos of life. Let us face our fears and temptations with courage, always remembering our values and our essence. “Become who you are” – such a simple phrase, and yet so powerful. Yes, we are all unique and wonderful, with our nuances, passions and ta...
