At first sight, pain and suffering are quite similar concepts. However, there is a big gap between these concepts. Some may argue that pain is only a matter of the body whereas suffering is more emotional or psychological. We’ll not enter into this debate.

Why does life dry our heart? An new-born baby is pure, or at least purer than we are, the grown-ups. What does makes a baby so pure and us not less pure? Where does it come from? Has his soul has been puried before coming to Earth? Probably yes, or is it his ignorance of life that makes him or her…

We are witnessing the emergence of influencers’ society. People trade their privacy and intimacy for fame and money, which is somehow a kind of soliciting, isn’t it? Why is being anonymous a luxury?

Strictly speaking, we are living more and more in a bubble. Considering the current size of humanity, city life is so restricted that it’s unnatural. Everything, from our body, our shapes and our mind are designed for us to live near nature. Indeed, we tend to watch over our origins, the ones that are related to the forests, the countryside, the…

Speaking is not only an action which is caused by mouth or larynx but primarily a mind mechanism. Indeed, being able to speak several languages enables to challenge our brain and eventually to speak better.

Human psychology has been deeply studied by Buddhism. The solutions of some problems are solved by following some general precepts that we meet in our daily rut. Erasing most of our desires is one general rule that needs to be followed by a set of other principles that come along with it. Chosing to understand Buddhism and apply some of its…

We may be inclined to suspicion and mistrust based upon our previous experiences. We are taught to be careful in case something bad happens.
