The Illusion of Self-Sustainability: Why We Need Each Other
Why I Don’t Want People to Solve All Their Problems on Their Own This is the 21st century, the era of ‘freedom’, ‘liberation from the dogmatic clutches of society’, and ‘independence from orthodox thoughts that hold people back’, or so we had hoped. But what have we actually become? ‘Independent’,…

Shared DNA-blessing, burden or both?

The Toxicity of “At Least” Culture
The culture of being grateful is slowly being replaced, or rather overshadowed, by a subculture of “at least,” which often fails to meet even the bare minimum of human decency, especially in the highly toxic societies we inhabit today.

The Paradox of Spontaneity
Now and then, I meet people who mirror a part of me. Like me, they are adrift, navigating life without a clear destination. We belong to a group that doesn’t dream in blueprints or grand visions.

The Search Of A Soulmate
Lately, I’ve started to believe that our search for a soulmate isn’t a quest for answers—it’s a quest for shared questions. For centuries, we’ve idealized the notion of a soulmate as “the answer to all my questions.” Love songs, poetry, and stories tell us that we were born incomplete, carrying…
