Fostering Meaningful Connection

The well-known sayings "no man is an island" and "one swallow does not make a summer" express a profound truth — that we all need the company of others. But mere company is not enough; what we truly seek is meaningful connection.

This need to feel connected to something greater manifests in various collective structures, from social, familial, and romantic relationships to engagement in a community you care about, offering support and being an active participant.

These communities can include social groups, neighbourhood associations, shared hobbies or collective activities, exercise groups, volunteering, common values in spirituality or politics, or even a shared identity, such as living with a chronic illness.

The importance of this lies in maintaining an emotional support network, which is essential for well-being. Knowing that your thoughts and feelings are not isolated experiences not only gives life a deeper sense of meaning but also allows you to see how others navigate similar situations.

Subtle Daily Happiness

Happiness is a landscape hidden in the details. It does not arrive with trumpets, but in whispers: a ray of sunlight slipping through the window, the scent of morning coffee, the hush before a burst of laughter. We live in an age that mistakes happiness for grandeur, as if it depended on spectacular achievements or material possessions. Yet, its essence lies in the opposite—in the ability to notice what is already there, nearly invisible, yet full of meaning. There is an irony in this. While we chase ambitious goals—promotions, travels, recognition—we overlook what the philosopher Epicurus called “simple pleasures”: a conversation with a friend, the joy of an unhurried meal, the quiet sense of belonging when watching the sunset. Neuroscience reinforces this idea: small moments of connection or contemplation trigger neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, responsible for our sense of well-being. Happiness, then, is not a destination, but a way of walking. Part of its subtlety l...

On Loyalty and the Quiet Companionship of Pippen

I have a cosmopolitan friend who, by the mercy of chance — that discreet and impartial arbiter of destinies — was born in Serbia. Industrious beyond measure, he treats work not merely as obligation but as a quiet philosophy, a means of aligning oneself with the silent order of things. And he is a companion of a rare kind: steadfast, discerning, and, above all, loyal. His name is Pippen. We first crossed paths in the now-vanished days of Google+ — that fleeting agora where, for a moment, the world’s geeks entertained the gentle delusion that they might, in time, inherit the Earth. It was an age of bright aspiration, tinged with naïveté, yet marked by a peculiar fellowship that transcended all borders and conventions. Among Pippen’s many virtues, loyalty stands pre-eminent. Not the clamorous, performative loyalty so fashionable in this restless age, but the quieter, unwavering kind — the loyalty of one who stays. It is revealed not in grand gestures but in small, consistent a...

Cultivating Personal Meaning

The meaning of life is deeply personal, and may be rooted in a range of sources — spirituality, family values, social roles, a bond with nature or animals, meaningful work, or cherished hobbies. Discovering what holds meaning for you — and weaving it into the fabric of daily life — can greatly strengthen resilience and nourish well-being. For instance, if your sense of meaning arises from a connection with the natural world, you might express it by spending time outdoors, tending to green spaces, or volunteering in efforts to preserve rivers and parks. At its heart, it’s about feeling drawn — even called — to a task that resonates with who you are.
