DEATH!
 

 

LOVE!

 

HUMOR!
 

...for free on the Internet!

 In the grand tapestry of existence, only two phenomena stand as forces potent enough to rival the might of Death: Love and Humor!

 This book is a part of a trilogy exploring the profound realms of

Love, Death, and Humor, (English)

each volume delving into territories that are as complex as they are enriching ventures into an equally complex and enriching territory.

 The 'triumphvirate' :-) of works, at the end of my journey, seeks to encapsulate the essence of human experience, portraying humor as a vital counterbalance to the gravity of love and the finality of death.

 new HUMOR! (English)

 Humor is not merely an anecdote to our existence or a fleeting phenomenon but a fundamental aspect of our resilience and humanity. It acts as a bridge between the depth of love and the inevitability of death,  offering a glimpse into the indomitable spirit of human beings to find joy, our 'Queen Mother of Feelings' in the brightest, and spiritual light in the darkest.

 Through this essay, we celebrate the transformative power of humor to connect, heal, and illuminate the human condition, affirming that in life's Yin and Yang, the human spirit, fortified with love and laughter, remains immortal in dignity.

love, romantic, tender, young

...for free on the Internet!

new LOVE! (English)

 In every heart, across all cultures, and throughout each epoch of human history, Love has echoed as the most profound of emotions. It binds, elevates, challenges, and occasionally, breaks us, remaining the emotion we eternally chase, cherish, and celebrate.

 This book unravels Love's multifaceted nature, exploring its myriad forms—each uniquely beautiful and complex, and sometimes, enigmatic in its manifestation. We aim to guide readers through Love's mature, positive expressions that nourish the soul and its intricate manifestations that push the boundaries of our hearts and minds.

 new DEATH!  -  A Phenomenon with Many Aspects. (English)

 Death confronts the inevitability of our existence's end, a theme both alienating and liberating, a problem and yet a salvation. It navigates the complex interplay between corporeality and consciousness, inviting readers to explore the physiological-medical, psychological-sociological, and philosophical-spiritual dimensions of Death.

 Only limitation motivates our aspirations, life 'towards death' (Heidegger) allows depth of consciousness and appreciation of life... in love.

Nothingness and Being

(English)

Why is there something rather than nothing? - Leibniz, German universal genius 1646-1716

 A World with or without a Beginning?

„Why is being at all, and not rather nothing? ... As deeply rooted as this question may seem, it only hangs in the foreground of objectively imagined being. It does not know what it is asking; for in order for that to exist which it still knows as the counter-possibility to the reality of the existing, to the existing as the actual, namely the nothing, there must be the being which is the only thing strong enough to have the nothing necessary.“ -  Heidegger
