The idea of the filiation of the soul is a profound concept that goes beyond social conventions and traditional family structures. While the concept of parenthood is often associated with the nuclear family, it is important to recognise that the capacity to be a parent should not be limited by rigid constraints. In an increasingly varied and interconnected world, it is essential to consider the many ways in which the filiation of the soul can be cultivated and nurtured. The filiation of the soul embraces the idea that deep and meaningful bonds can form between individuals who share an emotional, spiritual or intellectual understanding. These bonds can go beyond the boundaries of blood and of biological connection, opening the way to a more inclusive vision of parenthood. One of the key aspects of guaranteeing everyone the possibility of being a parent is the understanding that parenthood is not necessarily tied to biology. Adoption is a striking example of how love and dedication ca...

In the complex dances of love and relationships, what seems as clear as the morning sun can suddenly hide behind the grey clouds of doubt. One of these dark moments can arise when the person you love begins to think that what you do for them is not enough. But fear not, for in the universe of philosophy and existentialism there are reflections that can guide us along these intricate paths of misunderstanding. 1. The essence of existence : The great existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once said: “Existence precedes essence”. This concept can shed light on our relationships. The fact that you exist and are trying to do your best for the person you love is meaningful in itself. Your existence is the foundation on which to build the essence of your actions. 2. Camus’s absurd : Albert Camus spoke to us of the absurdity of human existence. In a sense, relationships can be absurd – you try to make everything perfect and still something seems to be missing. Recognise that the absurd...

In the vast galaxy of love and relationships, there is one particular zone that inspires joy, confusion and, above all, a great deal of irony: the Friend Zone. Like Plato with his cave and Descartes with his “Cogito, ergo sum”, we too find ourselves in an ambiguous dimension, where friendship intertwines with love and creates an intricate labyrinth of emotions. If you, like Sisyphus, have pushed your boulder of a love confession up a steep hill only to watch it roll back down into the Friend Zone, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s as if we were trapped in a Kafkaesque paradox, where the feeling is so close and yet so far, like a sea fish in a freshwater aquarium. While the heart rejoices and pines in this thicket of emotions, the mind becomes fertile philosophical ground. Like a Nietzsche of love, we ask ourselves about the meaning of the Friend Zone and its relationship with free will. Are we condemned to be just friends, or can we change our destiny? And yet, like Sha...
