Heart-to-Heart Conversation

What defines reality? This endless question has been treated by countless philosphers and thinkers ever since the dawn of time. Some have argued that you will never know what it is because humans are bound by their bodies to grasp reality through their senses. If these senses are essential for us to get to know our environment and effectively undertake this task mostly, sometimes they can be deceitful. Once again I gave a few thoughts on this matter yesterday, after I visited a twisted person whose mind was possessed by a terrifying madness.

A Mansion full of Gags

How is that a most beautiful young woman lives in an evil mansion known for hosting unspeakable monsters? This question, sir, is not the one I will answer. Instead, I’ll answer why you should pack you bags and move into that mansion full of monsters as soon as possible. Story 5/10 There isn’t really a story per se because Magetsukan Kitan is a succession of small episodes which are funny for the most part.

Capital of the East

Introduction Is the weather essential in building human relationships? As a child, I used to rejoice when going for a walk when the weather was rainy. But as I grew up, I started to prefer when the weather was ’nice’. How is it that the weather being ’nice’ means to be sunny in a deep blue sky for the majority of people. This mere personal experience had me wonder for years whether people liking a sunny weather better was due to social upbringing or whether humans naturally yearned for a walk under the green wood during a sunny afternoon in May with some friendly company.

It's just a game

Recently I watched the movie “Never Let Me Go” directed by Mark Romanek, starring Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Nightley. I don’t remember why I chose this movie specifically. Maybe it was because it was suggested on the recommendation bar of a certain website. I already new the outline of the movie before watching for two reasons. First, the movie was adapted from the famous eponym novel from Kazuo Ishiguro (who later was awarded the nobel prize of literature).

Previous lifetime

Some mornings, I wake up standing there, always in the same place deep in this luminescent forest. This has been happening every now and then ever since the end of summer, or rather the beginning of fall. The memories of the dreams I make before waking up in the middle of iridescent trees fade away as soon as I open my eyes. As I try to hold onto the evanescent memories of what felt like regretful dreams, all that remains is but a sense of profound loss.
