I move through the shadows, choosing my own path in a world full of noise. My freedom is mine to define, and my fate is something I shape, not follow. I carry my own burdens and find my way, even if it means walking alone.

X and Instagram are behind me now. This is where I start fresh, without the noise. Not all battles are fought with swords. Some are fought within. Every day we choose to stay quiet or to speak out, to follow or to break free. I choose to carve my own path. Let’s see where it takes me.
Is a life without moral principles truly sustainable, or does it eventually erode the foundations of trust and social harmony? If there are no ethical boundaries, how can individuals navigate complex societal issues without descending into chaos or exploiting others for personal gain?

What if the Desert Mamas & Papas were the ultimate Christian rebels, ditching society for the peace of the Sahara? St. Anthony and St. Pachomius laid down the blueprint for living in community with a mix of solitude, prayer and work. Their wisdom is still on point today. #DesertFathers #MonasticLife
The Original Mamas and Papas
Today I am going to tell you about the early Christian desert dwellers, both male and female hermits, the desert fathers and mothers, the…

If wars are fought "for the greater good of God", does that mean morality is dictated by those in power, or is the concept of divine justice merely a tool to justify violence and control?

Sukabumi, where my family’s story began. What would it be like to stand on its shores, to feel the same breeze they once felt? Will I ever walk its beaches and hear the whispers of my roots in the waves?

Shocking and heartbreaking that 71,000 migrants have died or gone missing since the '90s at European borders due to failed policies. What kind of civilization accepts this?
By compiling multiple sources of data, we reach the astonishing figure of 71,000 migrants who have died or been missing at the European border since the early 90s. A hecatomb caused by the migration policies of European countries.

In The Spider Tattoo (1966), Ayako Wakao portrays a woman seeking revenge after being tattooed with a demonic spider. The film, marked by Kazuo Miyagawa's stunning cinematography, blends vibrant colors with eerie horror, creating a visually captivating and haunting tale of vengeance.

Suggesting that people with autism might unintentionally perform the Hitler salute is not only misguided but deeply offensive. Autism is a neurological condition, not an excuse for harmful actions. Let's combat stigma, not perpetuate it.

The silence is deafening. Musk's Nazi salute goes unchecked, and the media, politicians, everyone stays quiet. Are we really so afraid to speak up? By letting this go unchallenged, we allow hate to thrive. Have we learned nothing from history? Or are we too complacent to care?

Do butterflies exist to remind us that life is not to be found in the past, but in the quiet moments of transformation? Is their fleeting beauty a gentle lesson, urging us to release what we once were, so that we may rise from the silence and bloom anew, fuller than before?

I wonder if Martin Luther King Jr. were to look at our society today, would he still believe in the noble ideals of integrity, or would he have long turned his back on us, disillusioned by a generation more enamored with falsehoods than with the uncompromising truth of human morality?

Voltaire argues that reason cannot prove the immortality of the soul, making religion necessary. Does he mean that religion is a necessary revelation, or is he suggesting that the soul as a concept doesn't exist and religion is a way to fill the uncertainty?

Have you ever heard a song that stops your heart, as if it speaks to something hidden deep within? "Bye Bye Baby" by Ronnie Spector and Joey Ramone does that for me. Their voices merge in a bittersweet, melancholic beauty that’s both raw and fragile. Two beautiful souls, immortal in their music.

A Dutch film about Maria Sibylla Merian is on the way! This visionary woman revolutionized art and science with her stunning illustrations of insects and plants. How do you think her extraordinary life will unfold on screen? Will you be watching?

In "Praise of Craziness". Six years ago (January 17, 2019) we lost Mary Oliver, who showed us how profound wisdom can be hidden in a grandmother’s simple act of kindness to garden ants. Is that what love truly is, finding beauty in what others might call madness?

Have you ever sat with Mary Oliver's words until they made you weep? Today, six years after her passing, her poetry still speaks to us through rustling leaves and morning light. Reminding us that the ordinary world holds extraordinary magic, if only we pause to notice.
Thank you #MaryOliver

My knowledge is so limited, still so much to learn. Did you know that Hungary was the first country to enact an antisemitic law after World War I? The Numerus Clausus law of 1920 restricted Jewish students' access to universities.

The Hungarian government has sought to deny and obscure its responsibility for the deportation of Jews beginning in 1941.
