Embracing the Eternal Now: The Illusion of Time:
\ In a world where time is often viewed as a linear progression from past to future, we find ourselves constantly yearning for what lies ahead. The illusion of time, with its promises of tomorrow's fulfillment, lures us into a perpetual cycle of anticipation and longing. But what if we could break free from this relentless pursuit of the future? What if we could live beyond the limitations of time and embrace the richness of the present moment?

Rediscovering Love: Transcending Self-Interest in a Modern World
In our contemporary society, the essence of love appears to be diminishing, overshadowed by a self-serving mentality that I refer to as "what's in for me." The narrative of Remy of Kotzk vividly illustrates this point. Remy once encountered a young man savoring a dish of fish and questioned his motive. "Why are you eating that fish?" Remy asked.

Too often, what we label as love resembles "fish love," centered on fulfilling personal desires rather than genuine care for the other.
