How interesting Kristjaan! I think I wrote the existentialist way in my last Carpe Diem post 😉 … and my favorit in this field is Sören Kierkegaard – the Danish philosopher. He was christian though and I am not captured by any religion. He was wise, I think. About nature … he didn’t think humans were one with the nature. He thought humans relate to nature. I think like that too. And as written before … humans … every man and woman … is their actions. They are NOT their characteristics … like skin color, religion, ethnic group, ….

Talking about philosophy like this … you must be a sincere human … not a fake one … Fakes are not worthy talking philosophy. Fakes have lost their confidence! That’s a fact!
Honesty goes with philosophy – life philosophy – the ethical way – only way.
“Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.”
Soren Kierkegaard
Being ones actions … aiming the honest and true way … sometimes need apologies … apologies for behavior … cowards don’t … humans do …
Picking a piece from the poem by Rumi … I choose this one … cut a bit …
“We are as pieces of chess engaged in victory and defeat:
our victory and defeat is from …“
when you go low
I always go higher – armed with
strong ethical code
…. and to cheer it up a bit … yesterday I got a photo from one of my grandchildren … so proud … she won in chess and her dad lost … I answered I knew she would win … the smart and clever … honest way … ❤ … she is my Golden Heart ❤ …
Flute … when so beautiful it feels right into the soul … the beauty of sincerity …
“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”
Soren Kierkegaard

You always make me look at life from a different view point. Thanks!
Thanks for reading Janice! Thanks for encouraging comments!
You are very welcome.
Very deep thoughts ! I also like Gheorghe Zamfir. He is our Romanian god Pan.
You have many great musicians! A master of Trumpet too 😉
Good advice, Birgitta, to be armed with a strong ethical code!
Thanks Kim!
A beautiful response Birgitta. As I recall from what I have read from Nietzsche, he was also inspired by the thoughts of Kierkegaard. A strong haiku … everyone needs an ethical code.
Thanks Kristjaan!
Agree… actions make the man. That is the existential motto. ” On est ce qu’on fait ” We are what we do.
I like all your references to Kierkegaarde. Interesting haiku.
Thanks a lot Rall!
armed with
strong ethical code
There is a feeling of wanting to aspire higher and more disciplined in outlook!

No not aspire! Just telling there is no limit for me 🙂 I go as high as needed 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting!
Inspiring. Hang on there toughie! Don’t west the ethical code like s cross though….
I don’t deal with crosses … and being in a cross mood it is specially useful … ethical code is never waisted! The more used … the better … in/for world and cyber … for everybody.
Very thought provoking and so honest. I love that I read your post at an opportune time.. How we shy away from facing the truths about ourselves for multiple reasons and yet, it Is the only time we can change.
Bravo to your grand-daughter too!! [smiles}
Thanks a lot Cheryl Lynn!
