Meursault and the danger of living as if it makes no difference

I finished The Stranger with the feeling that Meursault was still looking at me in silence. His “it makes no difference” does not strike me as mere coldness; it feels like a form of desertification. I kept wondering how often we keep functioning, answering messages, following schedules, while something in…

We do not always notice when we begin to disappear. The routine goes on, the house functions, the roles are fulfilled, and desire learns to speak quietly. “My Name Is Agneta” follows this silent erosion, until a woman understands that she still has hunger, body, grace, and the right to…

The machinery of exhaustion

Work has become a moral test. When people collapse, they are told to breathe, meditate, optimize their schedule, and smile better. Few ask who built the machine. Perhaps because the answer would ruin the corporate wellness varnish: some companies do not want healthy people, only elegant, productive, grateful breakdowns.

Where’s the “Dr.”?

Sometimes, two letters and a period are enough to reveal how dependent human nobility has become on stationery. An envelope gets the title wrong, the room holds its breath, and suddenly we discover that the ego also demands proofreading. Where’s the “Dr.”? Where are all of us in that question?

Edgar Morin: 104 years of complex lucidity

Morin died, but his work remains a living disturbance: to think is to reconnect what the world keeps tearing apart. Against the haste of certainty, he left us a complex lucidity, able to hold error, doubt, contradiction, and humanity. Perhaps this is his lesson: not simplifying the world in order…

The interval of living things

Time does not run; we stumble through it, carrying urgencies like half-closed suitcases. When we stop, something within catches up with us. A smaller light, almost shy, relearns the way home. To breathe, then, is not to interrupt life, but to return its forgotten width and fertile silence.

My own private infinity, my finite thought…

Between finite thoughts and infinite emotions, the clinic leans toward what has not yet learned to speak. Each subject carries a sea without a map, made of dream, memory, and astonishment. The analyst listens from a small vessel, sustaining the crossing while human shipwreck searches for a name, without haste.

The warmest color of a love that had nowhere to live

What if love does not fail because it lacks intensity, but because intensity cannot build a world? Some encounters open doors inside us, yet leave us standing outside the house. Perhaps the deepest loneliness begins when we discover that desire can burn brightly and still offer nowhere to live.

The chair, the manual, and masculinity in screws

I bought a chair that came in pieces and, faced with the manual, chose to preserve my lower back and my afternoon. I paid someone to assemble it. No masculinity alarm went off. No Allen-key ancestor appeared offended. I gained a sturdy chair, a free hour, and a suspiciously comfortable…

When Masculinity Mistakes Listening for Accusation

Based on the May 12 GloboNews debate, I offer some reflections on masculinity, privilege, and responsibility. I question false equivalences, defensive discourses, and the use of listening as self-protection. Thinking about masculinity requires recognizing structures of power, sustaining discomfort, and giving up the need for male absolution.
