Night and day
Cancel culture doesn’t seem to be able to grasp perhaps one of the most infant forms of perceiving truth; that two things (or more) can be true and of importance at the same time.

Seek to build, not disrupt
There is something I notice in today’s discourse. The race-based mistreatment white people endure today is – in some ways – worse than what other people have endured in history. (I’m not talking about extreme and specific things now that has happened to other people, but in a general sense.) This is because when for…

Virtues
Virtues such as inclusion, representation, diversity etcetera, are good, but they exist in relation to other virtues as well. It is wrong to take specific virtues and give them blanket unlimited virtuousness that override all others. It is like baking a cake and following a recipe, where all ingredients represents a virtue. Each different virtue…

Kindness and truth
When kindness becomes the highest purpose of truth, truth becomes threatened. Kindness is good as an ideal, but not as an expectation and demand. Then it loses its beauty and constructiveness. It is not kind to expect that people mustn’t speak about what is right, true, honest or of value to them, or stand for…

The taste of terms
I believe that a big part of the popularization of concepts and ideas comes from the way the names of their terms taste to express morphologically, rather than those concepts and ideas actually have any value.

This is a great mistake I believe. Simply…

Who am I?
Who am I? I am. I am me. A refining person. A searcher and creator of meaning. A lifeful person. A person that expresses my personality and my interests. A person that realizes, knows and cares for my worth, and lets it rise freely. A person that aims for greatness in all good things and…

Justice, always
As a general principle, I believe that people’s value lies in relation to themselves and not in relation to others. As such, I find great mistrust in the presupposition that because a person has suffered great injustice, the injustice that someone else has suffered becomes insignificant in relation to it because it is smaller. Injustice…

Ignorance or innocence?
Be mindful and take care of what you let nurture your mind. It is not ignorance to preserve its innocence. It can be teared down in the pursuit of expectations. Let it grow like a healthy trunk that forms the most vivid and living leaves, a mind that gives and takes in symbiosis just like…

Life remains
Even if you sometimes feel disconnected from life, life will always remain. Life will always be there, ready to embrace you, when you are ready. To be welcomed back. To be filled with its warmth. Do not worry. No matter what you are going through. It will always be one tap away. The beginning of…
