The city; the community; the home of millions of lives. The design, the organisation, and the infrastructure reflect the economy, the development of that place. It can be a beautiful reflection, full of colours, easy to travel, a piece of art created by modern architecture and engineering. Those beautiful cities have our admiration.

For each one of the millions of lives, a different and unique story. A singular perspective to tell us a description about the city based on a day-to-day observation; an inside view. We expect a good one.

While we see the beauty of a well-developed, economically advanced city, we have the tendency to forget the social problems, to close the eyes to the people around.

What about empathy? Do you know what empathy means? Have you practised empathy recently?

Empathy is a virtual way we have found to put ourselves on the shoes of another person, in the attempt to understand his/her view/perspective about a specific subject. By the wise use of empathy we may create a mental model to draw a hypothesis about a person's view/perspective, which may help us in our daily practise of love and compassion, i.e., to spread kindness towards others.

Think about the last time you have used empathy. That obnoxious people around, that one you have hard times to deal with, have you put yourself into his/her place? To do that it doesn't mean you agree with his/her actions, but you may draw a good hypothesis, which may help you to be more kind and compassionate on awful situations. Instead of stress yourself out, give it a try.

By the use of empathy you save your time and energy, which can be utilised to spread happiness, to love more, to fight less, and to save lives all around your sphere of influence.

Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  It’s important we get prepared to apply defensive manoeuvres any time, anywhere, and at any circumstances. Although the majority of us live in an environment where internal conflicts and wars are somehow not so close, dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive people and behaviours requires us to be ready for facing and dealing with anything before us. That’s why it’s important to learn how to survive outside civilisation, where danger and threats aren’t limited to facing and dealing with minds in suffering. Inside a Jungle, a desert, or any other place where traces of civilisation are little or non-existent, the restrainment of resources (e.g., food and fresh water), as well as the presence of other animals in the surroundings (e.g., spiders, big snakes, jaguars, lions, tigers, and so on)---which may see us as a prey—become big concerns far more urgent than dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive presence of minds in suffering in the surroundings. Thus, the mo...

  When our purpose is genuine and crystal clear, there’s nothing that can stop us to attain that goal, not even a strong source of negativity surrounding us. The secret is always on our motivation to thrive, and therefore, the motivation to trespass any barrier imposed, no matter the circumstances. We can think of it as a serious game; a game of life where we’ve no additional spare lives, which implies that every move counts either towards our goal or backwards to somewhere else. When we get used to so much negativity in the surroundings, and start realising it was there for much longer than we may be aware of, we start questioning everything. It’s in this darkest time that we need to look deep within to realise and understand we aren’t what the outside may project about us but what we feel of getting totally aligned with our love nature and fulfilling the mission we’re assigned when we were born. Let’s forget about others and focus on making sure love spreads all around, even if, ...

The Neo-Nazi ideology is already deep in the roots of our current society, and as part of our culture and way of life, it’s dictating and conditioning what people see as normal behaviour in some social spaces. The simple act of gossiping with the goal of imposing additional difficulties in the life of another is a Neo-Nazi influence that passes almost unnoticed to our naked eyes. Stopping and diminishing those behaviours related to Neo-Nazi ideologies is the way of facing darkness and dealing with the negative conditioning we’re subjected to in a conscious and meaningful way. No darkness has power to obfuscate the natural light we’ve deep within. We just need to find a way of cultivating and nurturing our light to be influenced and conditioned by darkness no more. Suicide is not a way out. We need to learn how to live a meaningful life with the duty of facing darkness and dealing with its presence in the surroundings in a conscious and meaningful way. That’s the path towards our person...
