Poetry

“Let us not live life in abstractions but in concrete moments.
If we want to exist, we must exist “with”, and that “with” is most relevant when we live related. Living with others enlightens the existential significance of our presence in the world. (“Better a good neighbor than a faraway friend.”)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Our computer can appear friendly, helpful, almost human, but this friendliness is an interface illusion, a veneer hiding lines of code. When it “refuses” to cooperate, it does not meet our psychological expectations, and we experience this disappointment like betrayal. ("My computer does not understand me")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Why may writing letters be so intriguing, defying, or challenging? Why can it be so painful or stressful sometimes? Letters can become mirrors of our human condition, reflecting on fragility, resilience, vulnerability, hope, and the misunderstandings in our life experiences. ("Letter to unknown recipient “)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Let us not be trapped by wishful thinking. Just as the mouse is attracted by bait, we may often be drawn into traps by desire, illusion, or compulsion. Let us anticipate the hidden cost of temptation, the mental machinery of the consequences. ( ‘The Mousetrap and the Play of Power”)”
― Erik Pevernagie
