REAL COURAGE

 That one who stops resisting is more courageous than that one who continues

TEACHER OR PHILOSOPHER?

Are you one of those who think in search of a foothold?                                                Or are you rather one of those who love to indulge in thinking as a game for its own sake?

Do you need certainties on which to build your fortress?

Or do you rather prefer to navigate the waves of uncertainty by enjoying the unexpected and the unpredictable?

Do you need to plan a route before setting off as well as know right away which destination to reach?

Or are you rather used to discovering your destination while walking along unknown and always different paths?

Do you want to have everything under control to prevent any possible danger?

Or do you rather love to take the risk of shipwreck associated with actual exploration?

Does the idea of being able to lose yourself paralyze you or turn you on?

In short: are you more a teacher or rather a philosopher?

MIRRORS AND ILLUSIONS

Mirrors never lie. We human beings lie through the mirror by constructing illusory images on our faces, for example through make-up, or by deforming the reflected image through our own perception. In other words if human beings are unable to modify reality by transforming it into the image they desire, modify their own perceptions. And if on the one hand I am not sure that the sleep of reason produces monsters, on the other I am convinced that the fear of reality produces illusions.
