First of all, I have some question about the link of time travel with reincarnation. Is reincarnation us going to the future, I mean who said that you retain your biological form when you Time travel, maybe you become a baby again and have to grow up in the future in the hope that you will still remember why you Time traveled in the first place. If you have any theories on that let me have it in the comments.

Usually like any common mortal, my thoughts at any particular moment are influenced by the books I am reading. I just finished reading HOMO DEUS in which the author Yuval Noah Harari said that we record History not only to avoid mistakes by drawing lessons from the past but also because it liberates us.
Which is why talking to a friend about a problem you have, feels good. I usually find myself on the other side of the conversation because for some reason people believe that I am a good listener who doesn’t judge.
The problem I have come to realize is that I try to give solutions to any problem I hear, even if the person sharing the trouble doesn’t want one.
I cannot ask the person who is going through something horrible: “Now wait do you want me to listen or to give you a solution?” if you do this, you are considering the feelings of the person in front of you.
Maybe because we unconsciously know that History is mostly written by Victors we want all stories to end in a good way, or at least have some sort of closure FOR US. But that’s exactly the point, it’s not always about YOU.
As I grow up, I realize that everyone is going through something at any given moment and putting your feelings in front of theirs, is not helping anyone.
Bonne journée.

Let’s talk about HAPPY. (Not the graphic novel by Grant Morrison)
Does the state of happiness exist?
When you say you feel happy, aren’t you really just feeling a rush of chemicals in your brain? if so, how do you differentiate chemicals of happiness from chemicals of pleasure?
We are programmed to fulfill needs and act on our desires. If you call acting on desires happiness you are not different from other animals. Unless we choose our desires and needs in the first place. But, Do WE?
If I have learned from the massive book that is SAPIENS (by Yuval Noah Harari) is that we don’t seek happiness, we seek pleasure.
I started reflecting about this. If you were really happy you wouldn’t be thinking about what to do next after reading this. Most of us live in checklists of things we have to do.
-Wait, wait, there is more to that Boris.
-Of course, I am not a scientist, just a cartoonist, but there are also more reasons why people cheat on their partners, for now let’s stay simple.
All this to say, I’ve given up on eating chocolate on a regular basis. I eat chocolate only on Saturdays. This is not going to change anything in my body but I do love sweets and chocolate was my GO TO.
This craving made me think of whether people who are into strict diet are really happy. Because a strict diet means that they have sacrificed their old eating habits which would have been synonymous with pleasure.
What do you think, can you be healthy and happy?
Bonne journée.


OK let’s get past the obvious : “It’s what’s on the inside that counts”. As true as it is, you can’t put a myriad of reasons in one sentence.
Let’s start at the beginning, all questions lead to one question: What’s important?
I have already mentioned in one of my previous posts that the meaning of life is LIFE itself, life is the process you have to fall in love with.
You need life to continue your search for meaning. As long as there is life there is HOPE.
For you to be alive, you need health.
So if you are a person who uses skin whitening products or if you know any person using such products, stop for a moment and ask yourself if this is healthy.
You might say, but if it’s not healthy why do all these companies sell them. They also sell guns and cigarettes remember? Do you think companies care about your health? I mean more people die nowadays not because of famine but because they eat too much.
European people tan: Why is tanning different from skin whitening?
First tanning is temporary but whitening is permanent. Skin whitening is altering your natural pigmentation to leave you more defenseless against UV.
Your dark skin is not a biological defect it’s part of a long line of evolution.
People might say: “Oh relax Boris that comes from a long history in different cultures from seeing rich people with lighter skin because they never worked outside compared to the peasants who work under the sun.”
Well fat people were also considered well fed, so what do people want to be fit and healthy?
If you ask me, my skin represents not only who I am and how people see me, but who my ancestors were. OK forget the ancestors it’s a gift from my parents and I love it just like I love them.
You don’t need a whiter skin, you need a healthy one.
