nevermind?

Jack was completely devoid of feelings but wanted to change this state of affairs at the same time. He left somewhere where  he wouldn't know anyone and no one would know him. He will be anonymus, suspended in time and space, open to everything and everyone. Travel is not a package tour to the Caribbean island  though . Journey is  a change.“The hope behind travel isn't so much to go somewhere new, it's to become someone different”. This young man saw things that had never been seen in his life, he had meet and had understood people, whose language he hadn't speak, he had begun to see things, not just look at them. He has changed.  He noticed and understood something. He began to desire. This is one of many, seemingly unlikely stories. He killed a man. He killed because he finally had confirmed his conivtion - life is nonsense. He had wanted to feel something, but eventually he felt just a void, emptiness. He was convinced that this journey will finally cause any...

Why is 1989 one of the reasons for my visit to Łódź in 2016? And why I'm writing about it today, in 2019? Firstly, Robert Smith will celebrate his 60th next week. In 1989 The Cure, the band in which Robert sings, realased their eighth album "Desintegration", one of the best of all time.Well, I feel like a historican now, so many dates. Anyway, I'm here today to talk about this little piece of art, as well as about a fear and an anxiety. Something that every human in connected with. In this album, there are mentioned specific phobias and fears: of spiders ( "Lullaby"), of missed opportunities ( "Pictures of You") or of disappointment ( "Last Dance").  The quintessence of "Disintegration", the central point of the album is of course the title track. Whats interesting , Smith recorded vocals for this song at least ten times before he was content with it. One of my favourite composition is the Lullaby. According to many sou...

Do you have a facebook? Do you follow the news? Do you always have to stay up to date with everything? If so, it's likely possible you have a FOMO, but you can ask: what does it mean? Fear of missing out is "a pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent". In short, you feel weird and unsure when your wi-fi is off and you therefore can't get messages and notifications from people who might inform you about something, who might "need your help"... Every excuse is good in order to check " the wall " or the notification bar. "A psychological dependence to being online could result in anxiety when one feels disconnected, thereby leading to a fear of missing out or evenpathological Internet use. As a consequence, FOMO is perceived to have negative influences on people's psychological health and well-being because it could contribute to people's negative mood and depressed feelings....

What does it mean to interpret actually? On the one hand, we interpret everything, everything that surrounds us. We process continuously, there's no help from detaining our running thoughts. Nietzsche even once said:                                         “ There are no facts, only interpretations.” What about scientific facts, aren't they exists? After all, yes, they are proven, but it's all based on human-developed schemes. Does it guarantee anything?  According to Susan Sontag essays ("Against Interpretation and Other Essays") it's better to get rid of all and just enjoy the art. We tend to look for the hidden meaning. We try to understand what the artist meant. Sometimes it might be misleading or simply wrong. What if we find out that the work arose from boredom? What if we find out that the work was created on s...

Mx. is an honorific for everyone. Everyone who doesn't identify with two, main sexes, who reject either calling themselves men or woman being neither or both (so is non-binary) can go by it. Interestingly, in the Renaissance this subject was raised in a way. In Shakespeare’s Sonnet 20 we can read "(...) the master-mistress of my passion (...)" Andy Kesson is a scholar of Renaissance literature at the University of Roehampton and he says that “The poem addresses someone who is devastatingly beautiful and who keeps slipping between the cracks of gender binaries,”. credit: L. Honrak Unfortunately, in UK it's not as common as it should be. According to Shai Jacobs observations, one of the users, around half the banks use the honorific Mx. nowadays. But on the other side, Mx. is having a moment there and it's gaining more attention day by day. Why? “What’s nice about Mx. as a title is that it tells you nothing about a person. It doesn’t tell you their gen...

What about gardening: waterning plants, picking zucchini, removing broken branches or seed sowing for about 4-5 hours a day? This is all you have to do in order to eat delicious food and sleep in a cosy room for "free". Workaway is not about the money, it's about the experience - isn't that what young people should look for? If you haven't never heard about  www.workaway.info , it's high time to changed it! According to their website "There is an ever growing list of 37,000+ active hosts in over 184 countries offering all kinds of places to stay.". And it's true! Wherever you want to go, there will be probably a family or a person that can host you. The website works good and effcient due to users opinions - it makes this site credible. Moreover, signing up cost 36 €  for one year, so haters or liars aren't determinated enough to pay for publishing their invented stories.   It isn't another cheap advertising because I speak from ex...

Have you ever considered not having any influence on your action? It's difficult, I must admit, but instead of focusing on the future, try to look at the actions made in the past. Now, can you see? Everything you have done has its cause and effect. The human is determinated by forces beyond its control, it might be fate, politics, biology or class. According to philosopher J.C.C. Smart:   "On one hand, if determinism is true, all our actions are predicted and we are assumed not to be free; on the other hand, if determinism is false, our actions are presumed to be random and as such we do not seem free because we had no part in controlling what happened".   Schopenhauer once said: "A man can do as he wills, but not will as he wills." The sentence says that we cannot control our own desires because our desires themselves will determine which desires we want, and so protect themselves. It's not about defeatism either. Even though the outcome of our actio...
