Laugh and Cry in Gratitude

My mother discovered me in her calendar

My father discovered me in my mother's eyes

Lord, guide the boy to be what he can be, my mother prayed

The boy will be what he wants to be, my father said.

Lesson Number 5

What is real in the human world?

To me, what is real in the human world is doubt. Not truth or lies, but doubt.

So, walking on Descartes's path, I came up with this challenge, and I invite you to debate it:

"The essential is neither truth nor lies. The essential is doubt."

The First AI And A Fairy Tale.

The first AI we became familiar with was introduced to us through a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm when we were children.

The fairy tale is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," and the AI is: The Mirror on the Wall.

Ashes to Ashes

I came to visit you at the chapel, and you were there.

I imagined you were there, it's what I mean.

I moved through the whispers, the condolences, the handshakes

And reached the altar, and there you were

Her Eyes Blinded My Senses

A poem by Sal Godoij

Her eyes blinded my senses

And I dismissed the fact she wasn't mine

It all happened so suddenly

Should I justify myself?

It was love at first sight.

Oh, such an imperfect love

Lesson Number 3

Dear seafarer adrift in your inner sea,

Love technology, use it, learn, and expand on it

And this is good

But do not grow too attached to it

On Social Media

Social Media is like an open microphone in the middle of a great rock concert with a large crowd cheering, screaming, protesting, chanting, hooting, insulting, singing along, booing….

Today, give someone a compliment.

Today, give someone a compliment

Make it a habit every day

And the sky will open to you

As it opens after a rainy day.

Lesson Number 30

Beginnings are good. Don't be afraid to start or restart. No matter what, what lies ahead is a new road. An empty road. Henceforward, throughout all your walk through the path of life, keep the good beginnings alive, grow them, grow in them, grow with them.

The Taxicab

I met Death at the intersection of King and Bright

In Toronto.

It happened on May 9, on a cold, windy, rainy night.

In times past, Death was a coachman

Drove a funeral carriage

Drawn by four fiery stallions.

The night of our encounter, Death drove a taxicab

Of the Purple Line.

Lesson Number 1

I say that there is nothing different among us all. There are no lower or higher levels in humankind. Facing the same problems, we are all equals. For instance, I speak to you about hate,

compassion, and courage. We find hate, compassion, and courage in all humans, distributed in each at different degrees, true, but we are all equal at birth.

Happiness is an active or passive state of pleasure or pleasurable satisfaction.” This definition, somewhat incomplete, is what we know and generally accept.

If you search on an AI tool, it will come up with a definition like “Happiness is a multifaceted and subjective state of well-being that encompasses a range of positive emotions and life satisfaction.”
