In a small discussion, someone asked me: – What if you found out that learning is nothing else but acquisition of routines? – I’d be very disappointed – I replied. – I’m sorry I have to be the one to disappoint you – my interlocutor concluded, while moving away.

Motto: “Both the future and the past / Are but sides of the same page,…” – Mihai Eminescu How come we don’t leave the past?! – What question is that? Eh! But who is actually leaving the past? What? – are we actually leaving the past? Where do we part from the past? Where do…

One of the solutions to the situations each of us struggle may be replacing the pattern “I, versus the rest of the world” with the pattern “I, as an integrative part of the world”. Peter Russell urges us to rediscover it.
