Happiness is pretty simple
I’ve had an awful flu this past week (not covid, I got tested). Let’s put it this way, I will not take for granted being able to lie horizontally and breathe at the same time. I got infected because I … Continue reading

Art therapy. On why magpies are awesome
Read the word “evil” backwards. Interesting isn’t it? They say that when the witch dies, she turns into a magpie. Yin & yang – it makes sense. Nice reincarnation. Magpies are considered evil in largely superstitious folklore. They are believed … Continue reading

Why do you want to help?
At some point some of us come to the realisation that they really want to help others (there are others who just do it, but it’s a different story). The aspiration is urgent. We start out small, by donating to … Continue reading

“Happy is, who forgets, what cannot be changed.”
I am not into watches so don’t know who Philipp Wagner is. But what he says in this short documentary stuck with me. He quotes a line from the Die Fledermaus operetta. No point dwelling on it, save your energy … Continue reading
