Excellent. Thanks to Kundera's novel, I started to see love and time in a different manner. Not in the same pessimistic way as I used to do back in th...
I assume that those were painted by you. They are very beautiful! Good job. I have three similar paintings in the hall of my parent's house. I like th...
We can share, enjoy, and read poems together. But again, my aim was not to discuss the content of Kundera's views. I am currently reading a novel by h...
No worries, Amity. Please, don't think I got upset with you because I didn't. I appreciate the value that you gave to my thread. I love literature and...
I agree. My intention was not to debate but to share poems where we could feel that 'unbearable nostalgia' that Kundera talked about in his novel. For...
Rilke was an excellent poet. I sadly didn't read that much from him. We don't have enough time in this life to read every important author of every co...
I don't think we can learn anything worthy from Donald Trump and 2024 U.S. Elections threads. But that's just my opinion, and I don't want to force yo...
I know what 'hanging out' in English means, but I did not get it in the context of posting threads here. Fine, I get it now. Yep, but I trust you more...
Fine. Good idea. I still believe that it doesn't have philosophical content, but we can discuss the 'unbearable nostalgia' of Kundera in The Lounge, t...
I am not the one who wrote the rules of this forum. :sweat: I fully consider poetry as a topic of philosophy. But, according to the rules, I think I w...
Beautiful approach. I know ecology and nature are also key elements for poetry. Haiku is a good example, for instance. Yet I said family is a key elem...
No worries, Amity. :smile: I was, actually. There are periods of time where I feel more sensitive than others, although I am always pretty sensitive, ...
I didn't gaze at the presence of the friend that closely. I thought the poet was playing with time and everything was in his head. I mean, he plays wi...
Another example of 'unbearable' nostalgia that may fit in Kundera's view of poetry. This one by Sikelianos: Don't you feel nostalgia because a girl is...
Hey Paine! Thanks for sharing a poem. It is fine. I think reaching the 'unbearable' feeling, as Kundera says, is quite complex. We can even include pa...
Beautiful rebetiko music, @"Alkis Piskas" :smile: 'Your Eyelashes Shine' Your lashes shine, Like the flowers in a valley, Like the flowers in a valley...
I meant seeing reality in an objective way, because belief is subjective and we already discussed that it can lead me to error. Let's say I believe it...
So, because belief can lead to mistakes, I tend to have a distorted view of reality because what I believe when I experience rain is frequently wrong....
Yes. My father gives a lot of public speeches on telecommunications, phones, and that stuff, and I am responsible for elaborating the bills that he la...
If experiencing the rain is a casual sensory interaction with the rain, my belief cannot be false. There are some elements that exist for themselves a...
I see! Thanks, good analysis. It is important to bring 'knowing' to this debate. I didn't think about it, honestly. But since you made a reference to ...
This is a very good question. Even more, if we are debating and sharing thoughts about belief and reality. I met some realists in this forum who only ...
OK, mate. I now understand why you always type and posy with such anger. Living in a country that you don't like is screwed, and maybe you are frustra...
Good question. According to Murakami, the third room is something secret. He admitted that the subconscious can often be unknown. He likes to explore ...
It's good to see you too, Amity. Thanks for allowing me to share my ideas. Hmm. It is clearly a tough philosophical topic. I guess it can be crossed w...
Indian Cuisine! One of my favourites. :up: By the way, I have the same glasses in my kitchen as the one shown in the photo. Mine are coloured, as are ...
I don't want to derail this very interesting OP but after reading your question, I believe I can help you, Amity. My first OP in this forum was a "que...
If we talk about beautiful book covers, I personally think that the editors of Murakami's novels have always done a very nice job. Right, @"praxis" ? ...
Ditto. I blame marketing and television for their brainwashing techniques to force people to buy cars, even if they are very young. There is the risk ...
@"T Clark" Hello Clarky, I bring another film this Saturday. This time, I would like to recommend you a 'terror' film. It is from Argentina but subtit...
Yes, Seville has done a great job over the past few years. Madrid also funded a project to switch the city into a more walkable and cycling mode. It w...
Don't be ungrateful to the country that allows you to reside there. I dislike this kind of behaviour and attitude. It is OK to assume that every count...
Hello again Tiff! It has been a while! I hope you are doing well. Your mother needs your company, and it is understandable. I think you both need to b...
The moment I hand you a red pen, of course. :snicker: More than 20 pages discussing about this. Ea! Philosophers enjoy twisting basic trifling matters...
