despite being a pillar of Western civilization.
Everything we know comes from Plato,
who documented the ‘Socratic method’.

Instead of the sound of a rock hitting the ground, he heard the distinct sound of breaking pottery.

When he climbed inside to investigate, he found several large clay jars. Most were empty, but one contained the first seven parchment scrolls.

Why the stone?

While looking for a stray goat in the cliffs along the Dead Sea, the shepherd Muhammed Edh-Dhib noticed a small opening to a cave.

To see if his goat was inside, he tossed a rock into the dark opening.

For a good world-building you need to start from reality. I’m currently studying old cities of Siena and Perugia to build a more realistic city in my fantasy world.

Something I’ve discovered: The power of doing random things.

If you really want to understand more about yourself, discover your strengths and limitations: you must go out from your comfort zone and try new things.

How can you truly know what are you passionate about if you haven’t experienced it?

“Piazza del Campo” in Siena, Italy after the “Palio” competition

“Piazza del Campo” in Siena, Italy after the “Palio” competition

Piazza del Campo (“Field square”) one day after the “Palio” competition. Dating back to the 17th century, it features ten jockeys representing ten of the city’s 17 historic contrade, competing in a horse race. It embodies intense rivalries, including historical parades and contrade celebrations.
