Scintillating

Im going on an adventure. 🌿

I started studying the basics of philosophy. I am currently reading A Brief History of Thought: A Philosophical Guide to Living by Luc Ferry, and it's pretty good for beginners! ​​

I love summer but I can't stand the heat. I'm really struggling with the temperature and it makes me slow and tired. Today was a crazy day at work and I'm looking forward to the holidays... Our school is not built for heat, it makes teaching unbearable. The students can't concentrate and me neither.

~ Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace (tr. Anthony Briggs)

In the first case it was necessary to renounce the consciousness of an unreal immobility in space and to recognise a motion we did not feel; in the present case it is similarly necessary to renounce a freedom that does not exist, and to recognise a dependence of which we are not conscious.

After reading a 1200 page book, Moby Dick’s 600 pages are FLYING by. 😅 It’s all about perspective.
