Just before starting to write this blog, the title above entered my mind. I'm still contemplating on that title and/but it feels good. In 2022, I published a blog in line with today's blog: The road to self-love or philautia. My road was very long. Most likely, it's (very) long for (most) others as well. The word self in self-love has a negative connotation due to...
Recently, the American president claimed the following on his Truth Social site: "Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.” (eg, BBC, Bloomberg).

Recently, I published my blog Done with USA. Later, I realised that I’m getting more and more bored by hearing, listening and reading about that American narcissist with his German roots. Luckily, the upside of boredom is curiosity. “We often think boredom is a less productive state of mind, but a lot goes on when we are bored, including some...
Why do we keep on underestimating Donald Trump?? 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).
