COLOURS OF FRIENDS

December 15, 2023December 15, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Loving people come in various forms but I think the most potent disposition of love is found in friendship. In Aristotle's philosophy of friendship, it can exist for pleasure or utility, but the best kinds of friendship exist without purpose. Essentially, the best kind of friendship is the "useless one", a friendship that just is. This… Continue reading COLOURS OF FRIENDS

REJECTION

November 10, 2023February 3, 2024 Dcconnoisseur

Painting by Nora Ampova The etymological interpretation of rejection in Latin is retrieved from the word rēicere which means thrown out... Nothing describes the sting of rejection better than the emotion of denial and ostracization even when we did not particularly care to be chosen.

BEAUTIFUL SKELETON

June 23, 2023June 23, 2023 Dcconnoisseur

Painting from pinterest I saw this painting and I was inspired to write about the many things we forget underneath just to exist superficially. How do we tie our identity to the things that could never be us? Status, wealth, achievement, beauty, age... How do we chase the impossible tirelessly? Is it true that we'd… Continue reading BEAUTIFUL SKELETON

HAPPINESS IS SIMPLISTIC

August 1, 2022August 1, 2022 Dcconnoisseur

Photo by Miguel Porlan on Behance. One can actually be happy and not have everything one wants or needs. I don't think being happy means a perfect state of satisfaction in all things life and spirituality... I think happiness is hope for today and tomorrow. Happiness is not having enough and still feeling more than… Continue reading HAPPINESS IS SIMPLISTIC
