As you may have seen from the date of my last post I haven’t published any new post for over two weeks now, which I should have an explanation to, and this is what I will try to do here.

In the last couple of weeks, in addition to the heavy work load I had, I was somehow busy minded, trying to figure out some answers for some interesting questions of life. These questions I had after reading Alberto Moravia’s Boredom novel, a very dark story about a very bored artist who had no connection to anything in life and could not realize the existence of anything neither, then he fell in love with a young model where the story begin to discuss several issues in a very psychological way, discussing money, love, suspicion, the existence of things and realizing them.. This feeling “Boredom” that we all passed through many times, but not as much as the artist in this novel, can anybody be that bored? Boredom is a novel that I recommend for everybody, and would love to hear your opinion about it here after you read it or if you have already read it before.

Reading Boredom forced me to have a deep thinking about this feeling, and try to find the philosophy behind it, but as per my reading list I started reading Nikos Kazantzakis’s Zorba the Greek, the same novel that has been featured as a movie in the early 60s starring Anthony Quinn and Alan Bates, anyhow while reading this one I found myself sinking deeper in the sea of mysterious ideas specially with one of the questions that I faced in this book which was “Are you living as you will die tomorrow?” or “Are you living as you will never die?”, isn’t that a deep question? Even if you have an answer to it, after thinking about it, shouldn’t your daily tasks and life have some different meanings and understanding?

I was amazed and very touched psychologically, trying really to understand myself, and understand many other things, it was really very tough two weeks, questions, boredom, responsibilities not to mention the heavy work load I had as well. Anyhow thankfully I’m back now, with a better understanding of myself, my boredom and my life, cheered up and ready to review my drafts and finally publish them, so stay tuned and excuse my finished boredom.
