He Knows You’re Looking Back
You didn’t want to paint it.
But it waited in your head, breathing.
Now it’s here. Bone-white face. Rot-green haze. Black that pulls at the edges of your vision. The eyes don’t just follow you — they hold you.
You match its breathing without meaning to. Slow. Steady. Waiting.
You think about looking away. You don’t.
The air shifts. Your chest tightens.
You hang it on the wall.
Hours pass.
It’s still staring.
So are you.

It’s only staring because it knows you’re staring back.

The Best Philosophy in the World Is the One You Can Live
Ask ten philosophers what the best philosophy in the world is, and you will receive at least ten different answers—possibly delivered with footnotes, counterarguments, and mild contempt for the other nine. This disagreement is not a flaw of philosophy; it is its essence. Philosophy was never meant to be a universal prescription handed down like a rulebook. It exists to help human beings live better lives. By that standard, the best philosophy in the world is not the most elegant or complex—it is the one that can be lived.
