Contemplations

I am wondering what most people consider as being informed if not to learn like parrots just the information provided by the big news agencies? Especially with today's technology people being connected to the internet for the most part of the day, it's easier to learn the news by heart.

How can one think he has a real perception of reality when his knowledge is limited to what the few specific networks that have the most resources show him? What kind of thinking do people think they have cultivated when their knowledge doesn't seem to go any further from a sample of supposedly different ideas that ultimately all serve the same purpose of those who control these networks? Can you have a fair judgment when you can not even imagine or be open to go beyond the popular ideas?

What does it mean to pursue happiness? First of all, indeed, it doesn't make sense to not look for beautiful feelings. But the fact that we are chasing something doesn't also show something about our attitude towards our present situation? Isn't it sometimes causing us to deny the present moment and be looking at a vague future?

I believe life can become much more harmonious if we start managing events differently, if we understand how much we are affected by labels we have subconsciously put them on.

While the incidents of diagnosed depression are growing rapidly in the western world, the usual practices of immediate drug-type solutions seem to be unable to provide the solution. As much as victims and therapists prefer them, they just hide the problem under the surface instead of curing it, which actually makes the situation worse.

So I think it is necessary to approach the problem with less direct but more radical methods - where possible - and what I'm doing in this podcast is to try to analyze in what ways Self-awareness can be more beneficial in the therapy and even more in the prevention.

In this article, I find that either because of financial crisis or other reasons many young people are confined to environments with older people who, while supposed to be there to help them, they actually drag them down. It is often difficult to get away from that as these people have been there since the time they first remember themselves and they may not be able to imagine their life differently.

However, through my own experience, I have found that a radical change of life is crucial and the usefulness of getting away of these influences enormous.

What if we take a look at the fast-growing country for more than 15 years (> 6%), Vietnam with the amazing weather for the most part of the year, the wonderful landscapes, the marvelous food and the friendly people? Last January I traveled in Vietnam for almost a month from the south to the north and I became impressed by its infrastructure. In Podcast, I'm looking at how it would be possible for someone to move there for a while.

But because life is not just what it looks like in tourist pictures, many of the popular places are not ideal. In my opinion, the city of Hoi An in central Vietnam includes all the necessary features at the appropriate dosage to provide many benefits to an expatriate from the West.

In this podcast I am doing a decompilation of this particular Greek myth. How can it compare to the way we face life in relation to our needs and aspirations? What role do the latter play in our relationship with the mystery of life and how do we act on them?

How real is ultimately what we perceive as future, and don't we sometimes overdo it and do not give value to the present moment? And if we contemplate on it, all these present moments are the ones that will eventually lead us to situations more suitable for us.

Also, if we think of improvement as a goal, wouldn't it be useful to refine it a little more, as it is only a label that can easily drag us into situations not helpful to us?

I am wondering what is considered normal by most if not what the majority considers normal? At the same time do we personally believe that what most people say is always right?

Would we not, therefore, need to think that perhaps we have to make a conscious choice between whether we want to agree with most or whether it leaves us unaffected to be considered "weird?" Then the other side behind the curtain appears, the bright one, where life becomes simpler, more authentic and way more flexible.

I think my generation has been nurtured in linear logic and in great loyalty only on something that proves to be demonstrable. Through my own experience, I have seen how restrictive this is for our horizons, for our quality of life and understanding. At the same time, because I think most of the information we receive is controlled, I can see that this trend is not accidental. This is of immense importance as the way we perceive our worldview directly affects every aspect of life!

Almost every Greek, till at least my generation, has been brought up with the archetype of the resourceful Ulysses. He was the one came up with the smart idea of the Trojan Horse that gave the Greeks the opportunity to enter the caste of Troy. He, also, managed after 10 years to return from Troy to Ithaca after roaming in several kinds of places, usually facing different types of adventures.

But Ulysses was resourceful and was always figuring out a way in order to manage to reach his beloved Penelope back home in the end. So one of his greatest characteristics was that he was able to approach any new challenge in the most appropriate way. Evey challenge was entirely new so the strategy needed was also entirely new but also effective.

I roam around many places in Europe and talk to people but everywhere I hear similar ideas that are very close to what I read in the big news agencies. And I find that very often people because they get used to some ideas take them for granted without questioning if they actually describe reality. Politics could not be outside of it because the propaganda game at this level seems to be genius. An example of my observations was a discussion I had with the AirBnb owner to whose house I was staying when I visited Paris.
