A small tribute to the love of my life

Imagine
 Although this blog is one of my spaces for intellectual expression, I would like today, on the occasion of International Women's Day, to pay a small tribute to the most important woman in my life, Abella, the one who, through her wisdom and patience, taught me that the language of the heart is much deeper and more beautiful than that of reason. Thanks to her, I understood a reality that for me in the past seemed like a metaphor, namely that happiness is a choice in itself, a life option that we miss because we are actually afraid to be happy. Obsessions with the past, excessive rational caution or fear of possible suffering, in other words, our refusal to live the present, make happiness become a failed and forbidden dream. However, Abella, through her overflowing energy, through her positive vibration, which I have never encountered anywhere else, opened the gates to this magical world of feelings that my attitude as an ice philosopher would have integrated only in a book or a mo...

Raising Funds to Help Homeless Youth Gain Access to Education and Safe Housing

Indifference is a form of virtual assassination, as the Argentine thinker José Ortega y Gasset expressed it, therefore we should reflect better on the global space of which we are all citizens. We should become increasingly aware of the fact that in our world there are places where poverty and barbarity reign absolutely, places where even a loaf of bread seems to be a forbidden dream. I do not know how many of us have a concrete dimension of global reality, but it seems to me that most of the time we embrace ignorance, duplicity and selfishness in the context in which, beyond the generous proposals and artificial spectacles of industrial modernity, there are people persecuted by their own destinies marked by poverty, suffering and lack of access to basic education. That is why I appeal to each of you, regardless of nationality, religion, race or political orientation, to access this Facebook page, dangershewrote, coordinated by my good friend Abella, to support her in the charity work ...

Întâlnirea Trump-Putin: de la speranta la eşec. Articol scris de Maria Rătescu

Imagine
Articolul de fata prezinta o analiza concreta si obiectiva a intalnirii ce a avut loc recent in Alaska intre presedintele american Donald Trump si cel rus Vladimir Putin. Autoarea studiului de fata este Maria Rătescu, eleva in clasa a XII-a in cadrul Liceului International King George din Bucuresti, da dovada o capacitate impresionanta de sinteza cu privire la un eveniment de importanta globala, iar felul in care se apleaca asupra unor concepte politice cheie demonstreaza pertinenta analitica ce sta la baza analizelor sale. Summitul desfasurat pe 15 august 2025 la Anchorage, Alaska, intre presedintele Statelor Unite, Donald Trump, si presedintele rus, Vladimir Putin, a fost unul asteptat cu interes, dar care nu a adus rezultatele diplomatice pe care multi le anticipau. In ciuda decorului spectaculos si a atmosferei atent regizate, discutiile nu au produs un acord concret privind incheierea unui armistitiu in Ucraina, iar conferinta de presa finala, extrem de scurta, a confirmat absenta...

El camino hacia la ortodoxia. Entrevista de Tudor Petcu con Padre Rafail Dario Padilla

Imagine
1.) Antes que nada, me gustaría que hable un poco sobre usted y sobre su conversión a la Ortodoxia, para que nuestros lectores descubran su personalidad.  2.) ¿Cuál es el cambio más importante en su vida desde que se volvise ortodoxo?   3.) ¿Cree que la Iglesia Ortodoxa podría considerarse un tipo de hospital para las almas heridas?   4.) Por favor describa en pocas palabras cómo es la vida ortodoxa en Columbia.   5.) ¿Cree que la ortodoxia columbiana podría florecer en el futuro y, de ser así, cómo?   6.) Dado que ere un convertido a la Ortodoxia, ¿cómo puede la Ortodoxia en su opinión convertirse en una forma de vida? No menos importante, ¿cuál sería su testimonio para los individuos heteorodoxos que intentan explorar más el horizonte ortodoxo?   7.) ¿Cuál sería su principal argumento para decir que toda la verdad solo se puede encontrar en la Iglesia Ortodoxa?   8.) En su opinión, ¿qué pensadores o representantes ortodo...

Entrevista de Tudor Petcu con el Padre Viictor Garcìa (Sevilla) sobre la su convercíon a la fe ortodoxa

Imagine
PRIMEROS AÑOS Mi búsqueda espiritual comienza desde pequeño. Como la gran mayoría de los españoles, fui bautizado en la Iglesia católica romana en la ciudad donde nací, una pequeña ciudad de interior llamada Jaén (España). Durante mi infancia, fui educado en una familia donde primaba el amor dentro de la familia y donde en mayor o menor grado, Dios se hacía presente tanto en mi padre como en mi madre. La educación que recibí siendo niño se realizó en un colegio religioso igualmente católico romano, dentro de la corriente salesiana en la ciudad de Sevilla, ciudad en la que prácticamente he vivido toda la vida. Quizás influenciado tanto por el propio colegio, como por mi propia familia, durante mi educación primeriza y durante algunos años, participaba de forma más o menos continua en la iglesia durante los domingos como “monaguillo” en lo que se llamaba por aquel entonces la “Misa de los niños”. Es en esta época, cuando recuerdo que durante una misa, puedo considerar que Dios me habló y...

Attack in the Philippines: interview with Prof. Tudor Petcu By Nicola Comparato

Imagine
Welcome to the exclusive interview with Prof. Tudor Petcu, an authority in the field of philosophy of religions, member of the Board of Directors of the Dimitrie Cantemir Association and professor at the University of Bucharest. With his extensive academic experience and expertise in political philosophy, Prof. Petcu will guide us through an illuminating analysis of ISIS's recent claim for the attack in the Philippines, offering a unique and in-depth perspective. Before we dive into the interview with Prof. Tudor Petcu, it is essential to understand the key events surrounding the attack. ISIS recently claimed responsibility for an attack that occurred during a Catholic mass at Mindanao State University in Marawi, Philippines. This dastardly act caused the loss of four lives and left 42 others injured. The city of Marawi was already the scene of a prolonged battle in 2017 between government forces and militants linked to the Islamic State. The recent violence has sparked condemnator...

Ang eulogy ng dignidad at pagmamahal

Imagine
Ang aking buhay, kahit hanggang ngayon, ay minarkahan ng isang serye ng mga nakamamatay na pagtatagpo at kapansin-pansing mga larawan ng kontemporaryong mundo na aking pinag-usapan sa hindi mabilang na mga pagkakataon. Karamihan sa aking pagkatao ay dahil sa mga naging ilaw ng aking kamalayan, uhaw sa kaalaman at katotohanan. Sa huli, nabubuhay tayo sa isang mundo ng ideyational magic, pinakamahusay na kinakatawan ng nilalaman ng paghahayag na pakikipagtagpo sa Iba bilang ang kahanga-hangang pagtuklas ng sariling sarili. Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit, pinahihintulutan ang aking sarili na mapasok ng misteryo ng paghaharap sa Iba, na tinukoy sa kumplikadong kalikasan nito, nagsimula akong mag-navigate nang higit pa at higit pa sa karagatan ng mahusay na mga tanong at sagot. Ngunit isang tunay na espesyal na pagtatagpo, na kumplikadong nagpabago sa abot-tanaw ng aking mga pananaw na inalipin ng pagsinta ng rasyonalistikong pagmamataas, ay ang taong naging Patnubay ng aking puso, ang taong n...
