We often deceive ourselves into believing we are free, yet we impose numerous restrictions on ourselves.

Garden as a teacher 30.10.2024

Any living being that has lost its instincts has also lost its bond with nature. We frequently believe we are exempt from this principle, but it has ultimately cost us more than we realize.

If...

Have you ever felt like life is limiting you? Have you ever experienced a sense of being restricted by the constraints of everyday life that we all face?

Is revenge ever justifiable? 14.06.2024

The human mind is known for its creativity and imagination, which also extends to our ideas of seeking revenge. While humans are the ones who typically plan and carry out premeditated attacks, it is unlikely that animals seek revenge in the same calculated manner. However, there are rare cases, such as the story of a Siberian tiger, where animals may exhibit retaliatory behavior. According to the...

Are shortcuts good for us? 03.06.2024

Humans have a tendency to seek shortcuts, especially when driving, in order to save time and money. GPS technology has made this easier by providing efficient routes. However, this rush to reach destinations quickly can lead to stress and anxiety, particularly for those who struggle with punctuality. This desire for instant results extends to other aspects of life, such as health and appearance, w...

Are bacteria our friends? 16.05.2024

With so many cleaning products and awareness of the microorganisms in and around us, people tend to develop fear of them and see all of them as bad. What many of us tend to forget is that we need them to digest food. We need them to strengthen our immune system. Most of bacteria is good. There are around 100 trillion microbial cells in our bodies. Outnumbering human cells 10 to 1. So we are more b...

Does love know age? 22.04.2024

Is it accurate to say that love has no age limit? Today, we will discuss relationships with significant age differences. If both parties are of legal age, is it still considered wrong? I have come across videos on YouTube where some single women over 40 express hatred or jealousy towards men who date much younger women, labeling them as predators. #love #relationships #ageandlove

Why are hugs so healing? 28.03.2024

Have you ever thought about why hugging someone feels so comforting, especially in times of distress? The thymus gland is situated in the upper chest, behind the breastbone and in front of the ascending aorta, a major blood vessel of the heart. It is located in the mediastinum, between the lungs. The word "thymus" translates from Greek to mean soul. This area is also where our heart chakra is foun...

Everything on this planet is interlinked 15.02.2024

We often consider ourselves to be the most intelligent and superior species on Earth, yet our actions sometimes contradict this belief. While we may think that what we do to our bodies is our own concern, in reality, we all bear the repercussions collectively. #ourplanet #everythingisinterconnected --------------------------------------------- Music track: Meditation by Aylex Source: https://freet...

Connection between happiness, mental health, and our gut 03.02.2024

What is essential for genuine happiness? What steps are necessary to attain it? Is it a matter of mindset? How we perceive things? How we view our surroundings and the events that occur to us. Or is it related to our diet and the well-being of our digestive system. What elements contribute to feeling whole and content with ourselves and our current circumstances? How we cope with the adversity we...

Profit at all costs 26.01.2024

We are consistently persuaded to consume more by advertisements and media. The focus is always on making a profit and acquiring more. There is no pause, no room to relax and enjoy life. The justification for all the wars that have been initiated is accepted. Peace is not a priority. Weapons must be utilized and marketed, and the display of power is essential. Those in authority exploit fear to con...

Are top-notch vegan restaurants a rip off? 18.01.2024

How do you feel about a top-tier vegetarian restaurant in New York City that has been awarded three Michelin stars? Do you believe the chef should lower the prices of their meals? Would you contemplate transitioning to a vegetarian eating plan? #michelinrestaurants #ripoff #vegan

What is black and white in nature? 11.01.2024

As an artist, one of the initial lessons I grasped was the absence of black and white in nature. My teacher even described them as not representing true colors. According to my teacher, white should always be combined with another color, and black should only be added at the end to achieve a natural effect. Nature is not as straightforward as black and white. However, in human classification, we s...

Beauty Standards 04.01.2024

How to be smarter with waste 18.12.2023

When I think of waste, I think of things which we do not reuse and recycle. I think of food that get produced in large amounts and then wasted. Also, most of the things are not recycled properly since they all end up in a landfill. Some waste gets bought by another country and so the problem only moves to another location to still pollute the soil. Up to 200 tones of textiles a day end up in Afric...

How often should we wash? 04.12.2023

Today we’ll be talking about hygiene and see if we have been doing it wrongly all along. Generally, people shower from every other day to twice a day depending on their personal preference. It greatly depends on how your skin responds to the soap and hot water. Doctors recommend using lukewarm water and limiting shower time up to 15 min. Surely, if you are someone who lives in a tropical climate,...

Why we should rely less on cosmetics 27.11.2023

Did you know that on average American women put 168 chemicals on their skin per day? Some of those chemicals end up in our bodies through the skin, inhalation, ingestion, and internal use.

How important is the level of humidity in our living space 14.11.2023

If you are someone who has lived or currently lives in an extremely humid or dry region you are aware of the discomfort each condition could provoke. However, there is much more to it and if you are curious enough, please stick to the end since we won't talk about the weather but rather the ideal in-home humidity and some negative effects on both our health and even our furniture. Also, we'll ment...

How is nature fighting overpopulation? 24.10.2023

Now, there are 8.1 billion people on this planet, while 100 years ago, there were 2 billion people. We require more and more space and we are taking it by force from flora and fauna while forgetting their importance for the health of this planet. #overpopulation
