    About this ebook

    Being open-minded is not so easy when we live in a society full of divides, damaged by tensions, prejudices and incomprehension. We find many difficulties in making our diversity a richness.

    The objective of this small book is not to give lessons of philosophy or morale, but to enumerate a few tools that will enable us to be less complaisant in our certainties. Open-mindedness is not decreed, it is worked on. Let’s pull up our sleeves!

      What Death Can Teach Us

      Oct 30, 2017

      Life and death are a package deal. You cannot pull them apart. In Japanese Zen, the term shoji translates as “birth-death”. There is no separation between life and death other than a small hyphen, a thin line that connects the two. We cannot be truly
