”We do not judge the people we love” (Jean Paul Sartre)
There is a moral urge not to judge our fellows, but
unfortunately we do this quite often. As for the people we love, indeed, we tend to be more understanding and support them even if they upset us or do wrong things. For example, the relationship between a mother and her kids show unconditional love. No matter how miscouducted behaviour a child or teenager may have, mother never give up their job to stand by their kids guide them and love them. That means they don’t judge their offsprings. However, in close relations people still criticize relatives or friends, reproaching them many things. We all fall into this trap from time to time which leads to fights and disputes. Close people may become distant and break up for good. Ideally, we should not criticize or judge people in general, especially not the dear ones. BILETUL NR. 3
”Life isn’t about finding yourself, it is about creating
yourself” (G. B. Show)
People are beings endowed with reason and intelligence.
They are the only ones capable of creating things. They even create themselves. Throughout an entire life, a person cannot stay the same, he or she evolves, turns into somebody else different from the one he or she used to be. As a child or teenager you dream of becoming ”someone” and all your life try to make this dream come true. This is about creating yourself. However, this process of personal development wouldn’t be possible if you weren’t able to find yourself. The ancient philosopher Socrates urged people to know themselves, which is essential to become a better person. Thus, finding yourself, in other words, knowing yourself becomes a necessity and the starting point in the journey towards your real inner self which has to be shoped up into a wonderful personality. In conclusion, you can’t create yourself if you don’t know yourself. You do have to know yourself, otherwise you can become a worse version of your self, an avatar who has failed to reach the right destination. BILETUL NR. 4
”The world of reality has limits; the world of imagination is
boundless.”
The world of reality has limits but I strongly believe we
can escape from this world occasionally through imagination. In the first place, the world we live in, especially today, has many bounderies imposed upon us by social conventions, rules, laws, predjudices which limit the free spirit of man. I think, like J. J. Rousseau, that the man needs to stay free as he was born and he needs to set free from these ’chains’. I also believe that a way out to freedom is escaping into imagination which is boundless. Man is endowed with reason and imagination. As a result, be can create a better world at an individual level, at least, where he can take refuge. This is different according to each of us: some like reading or watching films, others like wriling and creating things. The world we create is a counterpoint to the oppressive world we physically live in and which, sadly, can limit us spiritually. In conclusion, there is no doubt that physically we are subjected to this real world. However, we can be spiritually free by means of imagination. Let’s be escapists! BILETUL NR. 2
”Life is really simple but we insist on making it
complicated”
Whether life is simple or not, it seems to we that people
tend to complicate it even more. They would prefer to overthink it rather than live it. First of all, the way we live our lives depends on the way we view them. There are optimistic people who consider life simple and enjoy it to its full extend. Even if there are pitfalls and hardships, they turn them into opportunitives to learn something and improve themselves. On the other hand, pesimistic people complain all the time, having regrets about the past or fearing the future. Thus, they fail to live in the present and view life as the heaviest burden they can ever carry. They may not live the most complicated existence in comparision to others, less fortunate, but they still are ungrateful. In conclusion, I strongly believe that the way you think is the way you think is the way you live and you can progravive your destiny life according to your thinking: be it positive or negative.

”Commitment is an act, not a word” (Jean Paul Sartre)
Nowadays more and more people are getting shallow in
relationships and they don’t prove commitment anymore like they used to. It seems to me that commitment has become just a promise which is never kept. To begin with, commitment is an act not a word. Unfortunately, people get involved in superficial relationships that show no commitment or they just make promises they will never keep. This happens because the world has become more material where everybody is focused on making money and commits to their own interest. Friendships have been put in danger. Even family relationships. Maybe, only where there is unconditional love (mother-kids), commitment is total and genuine. Commitment should be translated into deeds or acts. You have to take action if you are really commited to your relations or to your career. Commitment means that you care and you are actively involved and interested in offering help and support. In conclusion, if commitment can be stated in words and declarations, it can not be proved without acts.
