In 1811 schreef Joseph de Maistre (o.a. filosoof) het volgende: "Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle mérite." Zijn opmerking betrof toen de "nieuwe Russische constitutionele wetgeving". Heden gebruiken we zijn opmerking nog steeds. Zie ook mijn blogs van 2024-11-04, 2024-11-07 en 2024-11-08. Waarom zou het eigenlijk waar zijn dat elk land de regering / leider...
I suppose that people would view a break-up (eg, agreement, businesses, divorce, friendship, relationship) as the result of someone who is winning and someone who is losing. However, some break-ups will either result in two winners or in two losers. Real-life is different from (a) game theory. Most games are designed to result in winners and losers - and having fun...
Onlangs nam de burnout het ff van mij over. Ik werd boos - op mezelf - omdat ik mijn zaakjes niet op orde had. Vervolgens voelde ik me opgejaagd door mijn vriendin en ik waarschuwde haar: doe dat ajb niet want dat heeft nare gevolgen. Rust, orde en regelmaat zijn essentieel in mijn post-burnout leven.

I can afford my feelings because I do not live there. I...

Trump’s behaviour may suggest he is a fool, an idiot, or a moron but Jean-Claude Juncker, former president of the European Commission, claims that Trump is “very smart“ (HFD). Actually, narcissists are often smart (PT-2024). In general, we take ourselves as a reference point, a.k.a. "something that is used to judge or...
I’m in a new phase of my rollercoaster of solitude and loneliness. I failed to see this coming, despite part 6 of this blog series from October 2024. My comforting feeing of solitude seems to have vanished into thin air. Feelings of (temporary) loneliness have replaced my solitude. I can hardly remember such feelings. I’m not sure if I ever experienced those...
