Virtue and Vice

Berkeley, Wednesday, February 18, 2026 1:06 PM This blog could be time consuming. An important aspect to reflect is that one must always be aware to not lie to the self, or to anyone in general. So, then what is the purpose of writing in the blog? Is it industrious? [I opened my email briefly] […]

Prayers to Learn

Berkeley, Monday, February 16, 2026 3:09 PM I am typing here a few prayers for the sake of, probably, memorizing them, but mainly, and hopefully to internalize them.
