Do you feel what I feel?
See what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw
Between your dream world and reality
Do you live my life or share the breath I breathe?
Lies feed your judgement of others
Behold how the blind lead each other
The philosopher
You know so much about nothing at all
Ideas that fall under shadows of theories that stand tall
Thoughts that grow narrow upon being verbally released
Your mind is not your own
What sounds more mentally stimulating
Is how you make your choice
So you preach about how I'm supposed to be
Yet you don't know your own sexuality
Lies feed your judgement of others
Behold how the blind lead each other
The philosopher
You know so much about nothing at all

The Greek philosopher Metrodorus.
In the background can be seen the bust of Polemon (Πολέμων), a master of rhetoric, favored by several Roman Emperors.
National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Athens, Greece.
Parian marble. Found in Athens. Metrodorus of Lampsacus in Asia Minor (c. 331 – 278 B.C.) was a pupil and friend of the philosopher Epicurus. The bust is a copy dating from the period of Hadrian (A.D. 117-138) of a Hellenistic original dated probably 280-250 B.C.
Metrodorus of Lampsacus (Μητρόδωρος ο Λαμψακηνός) was one of the four καθηγεμόνες (‘founders’) of Epicureanism, and the most important after Epicurus; Epicurus dedicated to him his Eurylochus and his Metrodorus, besides writing letters to him and mentioning him often in his works. Philodemus, a Greek poet and Epicurean philosopher who did much to spread Epicureanism to Rome, cites Metrodorus as the author of the view that Cynic poverty was to be rejected in favour of a more affluent way of life, although wealth in no way contributes to happiness.

“It’s not necessary to try to save Greece or to get from her crowns of wisdom; what is needed is to eat and to drink, Timocrates, without harming the belly while we bring it joy”. – Metrodorus’ Epistle to Timocrates.
“As you grow old you are such as I urge you to be, and you have recognized the difference between studying philosophy for yourself and studying it for Greece. I rejoice with you”. – Vatican Saying 76
“Besides, they would not buy for a penny the lot of all the virtues (if they’re) cut off from pleasure”. – Metrodorus’ Epistle to Timocrates.
Philosophers path in Heidelberg

We have been and about today looking for suitable Oilseed Rape subject matters and the tower seemed a good place to start.
The folly was built in around 1700, by the 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury who was a noted philosopher. It is thought that he did a lot of his philosophising in this tower, and from this suggestion it has become known as the Philosopher's Tower. We also visited a nearby barn which seems to have become a celebrity on Flickr as I have seen quite a few shots of it after doing a Flickr search and at least one of my contacts photographed it today too!

“May the light of the morning sun, shine upon you. May the deepest and sweetest love always find you.” - Dr. Debasish Mridha (American physician, philosopher, poet-seer, and author).
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 25th of February is “monochromatic bubble bokeh”. The day the theme was announced, it was a beautiful sunny morning, and I had the French doors open onto my garden. All I had to do to meet the theme for this week was to take a few steps out onto my back terrace and there was the perfect shot: some new growth on one of the James Stirling Pittosporums bathed in the morning light. The gentle light was perfect to make lots of bubble bokeh in my background as it filtered through the leaves of the trees. The shot was very green in colour, so I originally made the monochrome green, but found the sepia gave it a warmer feel. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
Alexander the Great & Aristotle

Alexander the Great statue in Thessaloniki - Greece
A briliant Man,built like a Tower of Steel
Some believe He was Unreal ...
In 343 B.C., King Philip II hired the philosopher Aristotle to tutor Alexander at the Temple of the Nymphs at Meiza. Over the course of three years, Aristotle taught Alexander poetry, drama, science, politics, the meaning of Justice & the skills of Rhetoric.
Alexander's passion for learning never decayed.
Seeing that Homer's Iliad inspired Alexander to dream of becoming a heroic warrior, Aristotle created an abridged version of the tome for Alexander to carry with him on military campaigns.

Friedrich Wilhelm von Spaen veräußerte das Schloss 1696 für 150.000 Taler an den damaligen brandenburgischen Kurfürsten und späteren preußischen König Friedrich I. Dieser nutzte Moyland vornehmlich als Jagdschloss, aber auch als „Liebesnest“. Seine Affäre mit der 17-jährigen Emmericher Bürgerstochter Katharina Ryckers (auch Rickers) machte am preußischen Hof von sich reden.Während einer seiner zahlreichen Aufenthalte im Schloss traf der Preußenkönig Friedrich II. dort 11. September 1740 mit dem Philosophen Voltaire zusammen und entwickelte mit ihm gemeinsam die Idee der „Wahrheitsmanufaktur“, einer Philosophenakademie, die auf Schloss Moyland eingerichtet werden sollte. Jedoch war Friedrichs Zusammentreffen mit Voltaire damals nicht der einzige Grund, Moyland zu besuchen, der König hatte vielmehr auch die Absicht, den bewaffneten Executionscorps unter Generalmajor Graf Georg Heinrich von Borcke zu beauftragen, die an der Maas gelegene niederländische Ortschaft Maseyck am 14. September 1740 zu erobern.[4] Auf der Rückfahrt soll Friedrich II. dann im Kamper Terrassengarten den Plan für Schloss Sanssouci entworfen und aufgezeichnet haben.
Friedrich Wilhelm von Spaen sold the castle in 1696 for 150,000 dollars to the then Elector of Brandenburg and later Prussian King Friedrich I who took Moyland primarily as a hunting lodge, as well as a "love nest". His affair with the 17-year-old daughter Katharina Emmerich citizens Ryckers (also Rickers) made the Prussian court of itself reden.Während one of his numerous stays in the palace met the Prussian King Friedrich II. There September 11, 1740 with the philosopher Voltaire and developed together with him together with the idea of "truth Manufaktur", a philosopher Academy, which should be set up at Schloss Moyland. However, was Friedrich's meeting with Voltaire that time is not the only reason to visit Moyland, the king had rather the intention to instruct the armed Executionscorps under Major General Count Georg Heinrich von Borcke, the Dutch village Maseyck located on the Meuse on 14 September 1740 to conquer. [4] On the way back to Frederick II. then have the plan for Sanssouci Palace designed and recorded in Kamper Terrace.
Miletos located north of Priene, about 60 km away from Kusadasi.After Miletos is Didyma 20km. far to the south in Turkey.
Miletos is one of the oldest cities of Ionia. Miletos was also the city of many scientists and philosophers such as Thales, Anaximander, Hekataios (principle source to Herodotos).Miletos has been invaded by Ionians and the city reached its apogee in the VIIth and VIth centuries and developed in one of the most significant cities of Ionia.
The Persians demolished the city and sent its habitants to Mesopotamia. In 344 BC, Alexander the Great invaded the city and had its trade redeveloped. During the Roman Empire, it became an independent city and later a bishopric at early Christian times. During the Byzantine period Miletos was called "Ania". As of that time, due to geographic and climatic changes, the city completely lost of its importance and was to be abandoned.
my sister's dog, Lula , seems to be contemplating the mysteries of the universe......or maybe she is just wondering why dinner is late :-)))))
happy TGIF :-)
Perched on a wooden rail with its tail curled like a question mark, this squirrel stares into the middle distance, pondering life’s deepest mysteries:
- Where did I bury that acorn?
- Why do humans wear pants?
- Is the fence real, or just a metaphor?
Captured in glorious detail, this furry existentialist radiates the energy of someone who’s about to start a podcast called “Nuts & Thoughts.” The background blurs, the fur pops, and the vibe?
Pure woodland wisdom meets backyard drama.
Some say it’s waiting for a snack. Others believe it’s silently judging your camera settings. But one thing’s for sure, this squirrel didn’t come to play. It came to reflect, reject, and possibly redirect your entire life path.

The Philosopher, Heraclitus said that you cannot step in the same river twice. Although this is the sea, it is my portrayal of that notion.

"its on a need to know basic, and YOU (KHWD) don't need to know" haha
The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it”

Back from our wonderful visit to Tasmania's west coast wilderness, southern Tarkine and Corinna rain forest.
David Hume's statue is on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. People rub his big toe in the hope that some of his intelligence will rub off on them.
I'd herd of him before, but only because of Monty Python's philosopher's song (David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel... I looked it up.) The statue looks like it's been there for a hundred years but it's nearly new - 1996 - and the sculptor is very much alive and sculpting!

_ Taken ? In progress .... ; ]
Poised on the rocks like it’s pondering the mysteries of the universe—or just wondering where all the fish went—this heron stares into the water with the intensity of a bird deep in thought. Its bluish-gray feathers ripple in the breeze, adding dramatic flair to an already theatrical pose. The little plant beside it? Probably its life coach. The ripples? Just nature’s way of saying, “You’re doing great, sweetie.” This full-color photo captures the quiet comedy of a bird who’s clearly overthinking everything.
My latest photography is now available for purchase at crsimages.pixels.com/, featuring prints, framed art, and more from my curated collections—though this one might be just for those who appreciate feathered introspection.

A slackening of the tension of the soul, a feeling of emptiness and listlessness, moroseness, the inability to concentrate on a single task, lassitude and weariness of heart (Cassian)—who would claim that this state of soul (état d’âme) is proper only to anchorites? The ancient philosophers knew it well, and the church fathers speak of it. In the modern age this “perhaps most painful human phenomenon” (Romano Guardini) seems to have acquired even more depth and power. Pascal’s ennui (boredom) and Kierkegaard’s melancholy compellingly grip one; and what will one say about Angst (anxiety), the twin sister of acedia as we shall see? Has it not become the mark of Cain on our civilization?
