He is not captivated by metaphysics or religions, but by Logic, Literature, the Arts, and especially Music. He consents to Heraclitus' saying: \"Dogs bark at what they do not understand\"; as well as Spinoza\u2019s: \"Deus sive Natura \u2013 God or Nature.\"\n\nLiving with Argos, a dog who bore the same name as Odysseus\u2019 faithful companion, he came to understand Cynic philosophy, transitioned into the Epicurean concept of philotes (affection\/bond), and learned to respect Life. He devoted his own life to the pursuits of Asclepius, stood\u2014likely with reverence and frankness\u2014by the suffering of fellow humans, trying to intuit the \"secrets\" hidden in the beats of their hearts.\n\nHe now knows there are no real secrets; the path and its mistakes have always been shared. He never asks when the bell tolls. He feels deep sorrow when reflecting on his own great faults while simultaneously observing the incurable passions and the eternally recurring errors of humanity.\n\nHe places his hope in Change\u2014always the offspring of redemptive Knowledge, never of blind faith\u2014and dreams, for the sake of all the world\u2019s children, of the \u201cBeautiful Nusquam,\u201d of Eternal Peace.","link":"https:\/\/akakia.net\/en\/authors\/gouelena-marki\/","name":"\u0393\u03bf\u03c5\u03ad\u03bb\u03b5\u03bd\u03b1 \u039c\u03ac\u03c1\u03ba\u03b7","slug":"gouelena-marki","taxonomy":"berocket_brand","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/akakia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/berocket_brand\/304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/akakia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/berocket_brand"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/akakia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/berocket_brand"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/akakia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?berocket_brand=304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
