    About this ebook

    In this world that we barely know and understand, this world so full of supposition and assumptions, we strive to make sense of this cluster of cells that constitutes us, sometimes on purpose, some other times unintentionally. We fill in the time and space with useless acts, we make public scraps of oneself, scraps of you, scraps of us, scraps of yourselves too sometimes, and seldom, very seldom, scraps of them, of other people that we observe through our machine designed to decipher reality, being in a constant search of identity, of eternity.

      The Story Of Our Lives

      Oct 26, 2021

      “There are eight million stories in the naked city, and this is one of them.” These were the narrator’s words that opened the 1948 movie The Naked City, and when I was growing up they had become a campy catchphrase you heard often when someone recoun

      Can We Revive Empathy in Our Selfish World?

      You wake up on a bus, surrounded by all your remaining possessions. A few fellow passengers slump on pale blue seats around you, their heads resting against the windows. You turn and see a father holding his son. Almost everyone is asleep. But one ma

      God, the future – a big ‘no thanks’ from me. When folks talk about the relentless march of time, it’s never in a particularly positive light. Modern life is already so torturous. There isn’t a government agency on the planet that doesn’t have my pers

      Ingenious: Albert Camus

      Jun 29, 2017

      I had always dreamed of meeting Albert Camus and so was thrilled when he appeared at Lucey’s Lounge, a dark and yellowy lit bar in Brooklyn. The Algerian writer had graciously agreed, or so it seemed, to be interviewed about absurdity, the concept in
