Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha teaches us: The journey to self-discovery isn’t about following rules. It’s about listening to your inner voice. What’s one thing your inner voice is telling you right now?

In Stalker (1979), there's a Room that gives you what you truly desire. Not what you ask for—what you are. One man prays for healing. Nothing happens. Maybe deep down, he didn’t want healing. Tarkovsky’s real question: Do you even know what you want? What would the Room give you? 👇

The knight plays chess with death, not to win, but to understand. We move through life the same way—searching for answers in a world that offers none. Maybe the absence of meaning isn’t a curse, but an invitation. If nothing is written, then we are free to write it ourselves. #philosophy #movie

Descartes said your brain might be lying to you. But there’s 1 thing you can’t doubt: your own existence. ‘I think, therefore I am.’ From there, he built a proof for God. The idea of God is so perfect, it couldn’t have come from us. It must’ve come from something equally perfect. Do you agree?
