Who are we? What is consciousness? Where does it come from? To what extent are we more than our physical body, our thoughts and our emotions? Neuroscientists, meditators, survivors of near-death experiences, and various PhD scientists, try to find answers and try to figure out what is our relationship to the universe and who we really are, what is our deep nature.
The Candle, the Pumpkin, and Lucifer is a darkly whimsical short story that continues the fable of Lucifer, the tuxedo cat with world-domination in his eyes. When Halloween arrives, Michael ..his ever-devoted but oblivious human…discovers strange pumpkins on his doorstep, eerie gatherings of neighbourhood cats, and rituals flickering in candlelight.
As jack-o’-lanterns whisper, rooftops fill with a feline procession, and fear itself becomes a feast, Lucifer steps fully into his role as sovereign of shadows. Michael, caught between disbelief and dread, must decide whether to finally see his companion for what he truly is …or remain blind as the charming apocalypse curls into his lap, purring like thunder.
A gothic, satirical bedtime story for adults, this Halloween tale blends eerie humour with sinister charm. Grab it here
It’s a country that once gave the world freedom of thought, now legalizing the death of free time. The land of Socrates now worships schedules. The birthplace of philosophynow mass-produces fatigue.
Thirteen hours a day is not an economy. It’s captivity with coffee breaks.
Governments claim it helps workers “earn more.” But you can’t buy back a life. No raise repays the time stolen from your children, your sleep, your sanity.
This law isn’t about opportunity…it’s about obedience. It teaches people to confuse overwork with worth. To believe exhaustion is a badge of honor instead of a symptom of control.
When rest becomes rebellion, democracy becomes theater. And when the cradle of democracy becomes a factory, what hope is left for the rest of the world?
Greece isn’t modernizing…it’s moralizing fatigue. Europe applauds quietly, because this is the test. If Greeks accept it, others will follow. Work longer. Rest less. Think never.
But here’s the truth: A civilization that sacrifices its people for productivity doesn’t rise. It rots.
And if the world doesn’t wake up now, the next law won’t just take your hours…. it will take your humanity.
