Being and Nothingness: A Phenomenological Essay on Ontology (1943) is a philosophical treatise by Jean-Paul Sartre that is regarded as the beginning of the growth of existentialism in the 20th century. [...] The work [...] sought to disprove George Berkeley's famous contention that "Esse Est Percipi", or "to be is to be perceived".
The Stranger or The Outsider (L’Étranger) is a novel by Albert Camus published in 1942. Its theme and outlook are often cited as examples of existentialism, though Camus did not consider himself an existentialist; in fact, its content explores various philosophical schools of thought, including (most prominently and specifically) absurdism, as well as determinism, nihilism, naturalism, and stoicism.
The title character is Meursault, an Algerian ("a citizen of France domiciled in North Africa, a man of the Mediterranean, an homme du midi yet one who hardly partakes of the traditional Mediterranean culture") who seemingly irrationally kills an Arab man whom he recognises in French Algiers. The story is divided into two parts: Meursault's first-person narrative view before and after the murder, respectively.

Sing me something soft,
Sad and delicate,
Or loud and out of key,
Sing me anything,
we're glad for what we've got,
Done with what we've lost
Our whole lives laid out right in front of us,
Sing like you think no one's listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would,
Forever 21 shoes, 4.75" heel, with 1" platform. They're not the most comfortable shoes I own, but they're definitely not bad, I like them a lot. In retrospect, I thoroughly wish I had positioned the heel in front of the outlet.

"If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning."
C.S. Lewis
I didn’t do yoga, but one day I saw one of my friends who does yoga, while she was in the lotus form and wanted to learn more about the lotus symbol. She told me that lotus form symbolizes recreation. Yogis believe that during the lotus form they come to life again. So, the first drawing represents the birth. The second figure symbolizes the Utkatasana pose, which means power. It is not the power that you feel when you have control over someone, it is the one about life energy. So, the figure represents the energy that yogi has during their ritual. Thinking that they had a second life, they motivate themselves. She is feeling pleased and, in some way, she is praising. The third pose of the figure is likely to be the Sukhasana pose. I used this pose because yogi believe that during this pose, they spread the feeling of peace around them. I wanted to use my own imagination with the third pose, so it doesn’t have a name.This piece represents how existentialism is a part of our daily life.
My video-poem on YouTube: youtu.be/whuBQMQ6gxc
Description
This started as a couple of short night-time clips.Then it became a poem. Then it became a video-poem-song. I knew from the beginning what I wanted to show and say. The music was a surprise but it lightens what might have seemed heavy. In actual fact, despite appearances, although the video is quite serious and solemn, it is not gloomy. It examines in a poetic way something which is scientifically true for everyone. The conclusion is surprising but it is undistorted veracity.
*************************************************************************************
Tutto iniziò con un paio di brevi clip di notte. Poì divenne una poesia. Poi divenne un video-poesia-musicata. Sapevo sin dall'inizio ciò che volevo mostrare e dire. La musica era una sorpresa, ma alleggerisce ciò che potrebbe sembrare pesante. In realtà , nonostante le apparenze, anche se il video è molto serio e solenne, non è cupo. Esamina in modo poetico qualcosa di scientifico che è vero per tutti. La conclusione può sembrare sorprendente, ma indica una verità non distorta.
*************************************************************************************
Es begann alles mit ein paar kurzen Clips in der Nacht. Dann wurde es ein Gedicht. Dann wurde es eine Video-Poesie in Musik gesetzt. Ich wusste von Anfang an, was ich zeigen und erzählen wollte. Die Musik war eine Überraschung, aber aufhellt, was schwer scheinen mag. In der Tat, entgegen allem Anschein, auch wenn das Video sehr ernst und feierlich ist, ist es nicht düster. Es untersucht in poetischer Weise etwas, das wissenschaftlich sachlich für alle ist. Die Schlussfolgerung mag überraschen, aber eine Wahrheit unverfälscht geben.

Reg the miniature schnauzer. Not my dog, sadly I'm allergic to him. But he IS the cutest and loveliest dog in the world.
I don't get to take pictures of animals very often, as I'm allergic to most things with fur. I hate my allergy. . :-(
