Haruki Murakami the fiction writer examines the question; How is it we believe we know how others think, when we don’t even know how we think? He is a great read. Japan’s Dostoyevsky. Great post!

When you lie to yourself you slowly lose touch with what is true and real. Unfortunately as you say, you lose the connection to others.

I want to start reading Philosophy what should I start with ? I though of starting with the book “think” and “a new history of western philosophy” and then Plato and Aristotle. What do you think ?

I am the best version of me, not because someone thinks so- but because I do. If I’m lying, it’s only because I can’t accept who I truly am. Who I truly am is tender, beautiful, wonderful & complete.
