The 21st Century Leviathan: A Gracious Return to the Jungle - By Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
The key point
Ikigai and Lagom discussed the saying at length: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." They eventually decided to write a short satire separately and then decide which one to share. Thinking about how much harm people do to others while thinking they are doing good, Ikigai reflected. Once upon a time in Europe and in British America there were many witches, numbering roughly 100,000 (Europe and British America between 1400–1775 – Wikipedia), and they were burnt alive for their own good, for humanity, and to save the name of their god and the kingdom. Heretics also met a bad end, starting in 1022 and ending in 1800. But where did all this “salvation” they wanted to give others go? I'm not talking about religion, but about politics disguised as a way to control others' lives and, if they want, to kill them conveniently. They did all this because they could. But now in the 21st century, what are we doing?
Ikigai says himself: Humanity doesn't change! It doesn't change! We make the same mistakes. Humanity is always primitive. The greatest atrocities in human history are rarely committed by people who think they are being "evil," but by those convinced they are doing "good." Any religion or/and SPEC system can become an excellent tool for killing and controlling human beings more easily and conveniently. This is why politics and religion always get along, whether openly or covertly, just as politics and religion do business with the underworld.
We must start rethinking everything from scratch at least now as we enter the second quarter of the 21st century.
The 21st Century Leviathan: A Gracious Return to the Jungle
Why should I bother questioning the United States or its current steward, Donald Trump? Why fret over the "moral" architecture of Europe or the crumbling façade of Western Civilization? It is far more efficient to simply applaud the debut of the Western SPEC system - the most elaborated theatrical production in human history.
For centuries, these architects of order have boasted of inventing Democracy and "civilizing" the map. They gifted the world the United Nations and the Human Rights Bill, much like a magician hand out cards before a trick. But now, we witness a stroke of genius: the West has decided to go beyond its own rules. After all, why follow a script you wrote yourself when you can simply set the stage on fire?
We must admire the efficiency of their new strategy. By arresting democratically elected leaders and declaring wars without the tedious paperwork of diplomacy, they have finally discarded the "hidden texts" of their backstage theatre. They are no longer pretending. They have realized that the 21st century doesn't need a Social Contract; it needs a cage.
By recalling Thomas Hobbes, they have brought us back to the honest purity of the jungle. Bellum omnium, contra omnes - the war of all against all. It is refreshing! We no longer need the "burden" of ethics or the "inconvenience" of decency. We only need a new Leviathan to save us from the very chaos they created.
This new Emperor, likely rising from the strange, culturally blended soil of America, will be a marvel of artificiality. Since the U.S. lacks the dusty weight of ancient tradition, it is free to invent itself as a "United States of the World." This Leviathan will be a visionary - he will foresee that "freedom" is simply a recipe for rebellion. To ensure true stability, he will "graciously" abolish the right to think and act, replacing the exhausting "drama of democracy" with the quiet comfort of absolute control.
He will build a glorious brotherhood of autocracies, fascisms, and totalitarians, creating a world that exists solely to serve Him - the Lord of the Lords. And we, the lucky subjects, shall offer him all the praises and Peace Prizes he demands. In the law of the strongest, the most beautiful thing one can do is surrender.
Now, the world has become a theatre where the exit doors are locked, and the only role left for the "people" is to clap for the strongest man on stage.

From the world of phenomena to the calendarization of existence - by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
From the world of phenomena to the calendarization of existence
The focal point
A calendar is not something simple or banal; it is a natural, indispensable method of human logical production used to move, change, transform, relate, communicate, and live a systematic life. Personally, I have considered current calendar systems to be somewhat forced and even ridiculous, because they have abused and mechanized human life and the man-made world (including nature and the cosmos – the order and unity of the universe).
On the other hand, even if one ignores the calendar and looks through historical events—such as the naming of days and months, the Julian reform, or the Gregorian update—every human still feels space-time effectively, both constitutively (physically and metabolically) and psychologically. Thus, no one can deny that a calculable, rhythmic mode of moving, communicating, and relating with oneself and with others is a congenital faculty or, rather, that the consciousness and perception of time—along with all other fundamental, natural, and logical (yet raw and unfiltered) functions—are present. We share these even with basic biological operating systems, the habits of animals, and the rhythm of nature. Just think about the rhythm of one’s heartbeat, the rhythm of breathing, and the general length of an inhale and an exhale (±3 seconds).
Human beings are able to experience universal “disorder,” “chaos,” or “non-logical movements, transformations, and mutations: flux.” But human beings tend to follow patterns or logical behaviour. So, the calendar is something they have invented, among other things, to survive logically. I define this as narrating life. It is not simple. But, in this reflection, I write something pragmatic without entering into further explanations.
But, beyond all this, isn't there something more to explore about our temporality?
Chorus
But calendarization of socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil (SPEC) life is, in general, we can consider as the strategic tool of ‘political-administrative-financial’ control of relative human behaviour. Through this, one can understand how one becomes habitual and freely forced to follow the orders of sweet commanders” and to understand how habitual life and a freely forced ikikata (lifestyle) leads nowhere but back to frustration, anxiousness, sadness, and a chaotic life (struggle for survive).
Calendarization of life
Conventionally, I address today as the 3rd of January 2026. I performed relevant organized activities according to this relative periodization that we normally call the calendarization of the SPEC and “political-administrative-financial” year.
I may call it the “calendarization” of “habitual life itself” because, despite all the maniacal and scrupulous separation of simple tasks and everything related to them to accelerate, improve, and make more and more profit strategically—which will never get anywhere but only to continuous processing—calendarization helps people to establish habitual, healthy/unhealthy/capricious relations and communicate what they wish without disturbing their individual and collective rhythm of life. Is this life?

Time is repeated motions of nature
Time is just the measure of repeated motions of the world of phenomena. In the relation between the rotation and revolution of the Earth and the Sun, the tides of the sea, the seasons, and the behaviour of nature, nature offers (appears with) plenty of rhythms. So, man, observing the self and nature, invented different periodicities. Without this natural periodicity, we cannot measure time. We have no other means to do this. So, our knowledge of space-time is all about the world of phenomena or the natural world. No one can perceive, conceive, or apprehend culturally unquantified time. Thus, periodicity is the base of our knowledge (SPEC systemic) of everything concerning space-time.Chorus

Experience of pulsation
Every human being has experienced the pulsations of the heart. It denotes the life and activities of an individual. Therefore, all our activities are connected with the pulsations of the heart. From birth to growth, decay, and until death, each human has to wiggle according to his/her rhythmical throbbing. This is such an interesting and profound reality about our existence that any human being naturally can experience. As I said before, the general length of an inhale and an exhale—±3 seconds—can be applied to calculate different things, such as how old the Earth is. Beyond this type of curiosity, one can concentrate on these 3 seconds and experience new dimensions.
Chorus
But calendarization of socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil (SPEC) life is, in general, we can consider as the strategic tool of ‘political-administrative-financial’ control of relative human behaviour. Through this, one can understand how one becomes habitual and freely forced to follow the orders of sweet commanders” and to understand how habitual life and a freely forced ikikata (lifestyle) leads nowhere but back to frustration, anxiousness, sadness, and a chaotic life (struggle for survive).
Seasons of the year
Beyond this rhythm of the heart, man also depends on the long-period pulsations of nature: the seasons – spring, summer, autumn, and winter. All changes of plant life directly but involuntarily affect our knowledge of time. This is, on the other hand, enriched by the life and behaviour of animals, birds, and all insects. Regarding so-called inanimate phenomena, I have my own direct experience to share here. I visited my hometown after 20 years and I found, first, that the landscape of the town had changed. The riverbank and the sea beach had changed unrecognizably. In brief, after 20 years, I found the geographical area had increased (due to the river and the Indian Ocean's activities) and nature was more vigorous than before. This means that change, decay, and transformation are always in action, even where human beings cannot notice it immediately.

Organized time studies
We have, then, rudimentary astrology, more scientifically founded astronomy, and the rigorous astrophysics of the 21st century to note the periodicity of the sky, its contents, their behaviour, and their connection with us. From these, we achieve very important and more effective knowledge of periodic motion that helps our man-made world processes. This knowledge is therefore very important because it directly affects everything, including human beings.
Chorus

Rotation and revolution of the earth and the moon
Thus, the rotation and revolution of the Earth are the two most important periodic motions for human beings and the rest of existence on Earth. They can immediately observe and experience the relation with the life processes of individual and collective activities. What we habitually call “day and night” is the result of the rotation of the Earth. We know about the revolution of the Earth, but the effect of this annual revolution is more visible in the floral world.
Though the rotation and revolution—both movements of the Earth—are affecting relatively everything this planet contains, due to human constraints and limits in general and the delay in understanding the micro-processes (micro-level movement, change, decay, transformation), nobody is able to make exact conclusions and make patterns regarding micro-worlds.
Chorus
But calendarization of socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil (SPEC) life is, in general, we can consider as the strategic tool of ‘political-administrative-financial’ control of relative human behaviour.

conclusion
Well, our knowledge of space-time, therefore, depends on the periodicity of the world of phenomena, and the rotation and revolution of the Earth correspond to our illusory reality, which is identified by snapshotting continuously fleeting moments as something that exists.
But why have I repeated this: “But calendarization of socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil (SPEC) life is, in general, what we can consider as ‘political-administrative-financial’ control of relative human behaviour. In this way, one can understand how one becomes habitual and freely forced to follow the orders of sweet commanders” and to understand how habitual life and a freely forced ikikata (lifestyle) leads nowhere but back to frustration, anxiousness, sadness, and a chaotic life (struggle for survive).
So, one has to understand and experience the calendar within and of nature. There is no need to become rebellious or revolutionaries to follow one’s own existential clock and calendar, and to listen to and experience the calendars of nature.
On the other hand, we're barely a quarter of the way through the 21st century, and we have fairly effective tools to understand and verify certain things about the movements, changes, and transformations at the micro-level of nature and even our biology. Despite everything, the "political-cultural-administrative-financial" and SPEC calendar remains dominant, and human beings are always behaving habitually and are freely forced to live in certain ways like sheep for slaughter. Though the SPEC and "political-cultural-administrative-financial" calendar provide a kind of order to the ordinary man, it sells back to the ordinary man his/her own time with obligations and notifications.
The calendarized man is fixated and freely forced to be uncertain, dissatisfied, frustrated, depressed, anxious, and mainly dominated by different types of agglomerated fears. This type of man lives according to what the relative calendar indicates. The world must be a fixed place with certainty, security, justice, fairness, and beauty. This man is always chasing fleeting happiness. This type of man always sees others as perfect, while he feels like a failure, frustrated, and unhappy.

DIALECTIC – A satirical dialogue - NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2025 - by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
DIALECTIC – A satirical dialogue (01)
The characters - Lagom (Swedish for balance, moderation) and Ikigai (Japanese for "reason for being"), are two distinct cultural concepts of balance and purpose used to highlight the imbalance and lack of purpose in the global political sphere they discuss.
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2025
Premise
To avoid conceptual contradictions and misunderstandings one has to understand the background logic of this writing. So, I am considering in this dialogue two types of peace. The Nobel Peace Prize is based on the concept of “peace”, which represents the opposite place to wars and conflicts. This type of “peace” is meaningless without conflicts and wars; so, they – peace and conflicts and wars are essentially complementary parts. Thus, they complete each other. Not a great deal!
But suppose that there are no “extremist capitalists” or “destructive capitalists” that enrich themselves by producing and selling weapons to kill human beings, and also hypothetically think that there are no wars and conflicts in the world – consequently, a farmer who produces fruit and vegetables and a chicken and sheep breeder can easily receive the Nobel Peace Prize (?).
Lagom – You know Mr. Ikigai, when I digit “Nobel” price, on the computer the first letter “n” is automatically corrected into “N” capital or else it's signed as wrong as something important. It's like always capitalizing the first letter of certain words to distinguish their utmost importance and authority - but for whom? I don't know!?
Ikigai – I think if it is not a kind of "quid pro quo" reasoning, it should be for “pro bono” which is a good thing that we have something in common — at least forcing them we can keep some sort of order in the world. But why were you thinking about this Nobel Mr. Lagom? Have you been nominated by any chance?
Lagom – No Mr. Ikigai, I was curious about this because I heard someone say that the President of the United States is awaiting a Nobel peace nomination.
Ikigai - I also heard on TV news and in talk-shows that the president who ordered the killing of children, women, adults, journalists and the bombing of hospitals, schools, nurseries, common places in Gaza, whose name cannot be pronounced, has already anticipated this nomination for Nobel peace prize 2025 several times in the U.S.A. and in his country.
Lagom – After signing up the first step of the peace processes, even those in Gaza and many others in the Middle East are saying this same thing – “(soon) Nobel peace prize!”. Interesting!
Ikigai - Even journalists in the U.S. have talked about this months ago. Could you tell me if you know anyone who has refused this Nobel Prize by chance? Don't try to tell me the whole Nobel story. I just want to get a feel for the situation.
Lagom – Yes, there are many, but for me the refusal of the French philosopher and writer Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) is important. He refused the Nobel prize for literature in October 1964 because he always rejected official distinctions and did not want to be “institutionalized”. On the other hand, his philosophy revolves around the concept of radical freedom of man, condemned to exist without a predefined essence and to create himself through his own choices.
Others were instead forced to refuse the Nobel prize like Richard Kuhn (1938, chemistry), Adolf Butenandt (1939, chemistry), and Gerhard Domagk (1939, physiology or medicine). They were forced by Adolf Hitler.
I want to recall also the refusal of the Nobel peace prize of 1973 by Le Duc Tho – it was based on a question of principles. He was to share it with the controversial Henry Kissinger who was at that time the U.S.A. Secretary of State who also proliferated nuclear weapons and was in favour of using nuclear weapons for war. So even this type of person can receive the Nobel peace prize.
Ikigai – Wow! We've been through all sorts of plays! But what about Barack Obama's?
Lagom – Oh! That! A bit of a ridiculous and embarrassing event! But what do we poor common people know about that elite logic! I don’t know what constituted a "greatest benefit on mankind" but within few months of his first term, former U.S.A. President Barack Obama was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 (it is not clear for what).
Ikigai - This may be the logic that has matured over time, which has given rise to the possibility of seeing the good that a president can accomplish in the future, or something hypothetical good or great can be awarded with the Nobel peace Prize.
Lagom - I think there should be great trust and friendship, or a shared interest, among those people (elites) who handle these high-quality matters. Woe to us!
Ikigai – Today, 10th October a democratic activist woman won the Nobel peace prize of 2025. Long live activism! But according to the news, the White House has not digested this issue.
Lagom- The White House criticized the Nobel prize committee placing “politics over peace” for awarding the peace prize to a Venezuelan pro-democracy activist over US President Donald Trump.
Ikigai - Well! I think the Nobel Prize could have been awarded to the actual president of the United States, given that the history of the Nobel Prize isn't all that clear and distinct. On the other hand, former U.S.A. president Barack Obama received it without doing anything, but actual U.S.A. President Donald Trump at least managed to stop (?) that untouchable gentleman who followed their sacred logic of (“you shall not show pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”) killing children, women, the elderly, journalists and bombing hospitals, schools, nurseries, and homes relentlessly.
Lagom - I hope at least next year the Nobel Committee will make some exceptions and give President of U.S.A. Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.
Ikigai - Hmm, wait and "hope" for good weather!
(NB: Hope and fear are complementary. They're like two sides of the same coin).

WHY ACTIVISTS IN THE 21ST CENTURY? by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
WHY ACTIVISTS IN THE 21ST CENTURY?
Background of the Reflection
Humanity is a mosaic of carefully narrated stories of individual and collective lifestyles or cultures, civilizations, and a wide variety of life stories that serve as models and prototypes to be imitated and followed by generations. Without these stories and tales, no one can have an individual and collective identity. That is to say, beyond this complex human artificiality there is nothing but moving and transforming universal energy. On the other hand, all human beings have to respect mutually including all above-mentioned invented stories to keep the humanity - the dynamic mosaic whole.
What can we do?
This is really the responsibility that human beings are disrespecting and neglecting. They have lost their wits in their group and petty interests. But, according to “complementary humanism,” the difference only forms the sense of belonging. Nonetheless deplorably, today we are still trying to exhibit our old deepest wounds and trying to project our dypest pains and fear onto each other instead of understanding them dialectically.
The best news of 21st century - activists reawakening
Practically, I observe this global behaviour as a sort of deplorable mass suicide. But where SPEC (socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil) systems and international decision-making organizations are failing, individual volunteer conscience starts to wake up and grow. It is the best news we have in the 21st century.
An invitation – don’t beg the question
After 80 years of the UN's history, we are witnessing a weakening, if not the collapse, of the UN and a reawakening of activists and activism in all parts of the world. This reawakening of activism signals and makes loud and clear the importance of a radical change in decision-making regarding humanity, justice, unambiguous peace, equality, and fraternity, leaving no room for instrumentalizing "anti-Semitism" and using it as an excuse to kill children, women, the elderly, and journalists and deliberately bomb schools and hospitals with their sacred logic of “you shall not show pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
The spark of awakening
According to the UN at least 64,964 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza. The most important fact is that the people killed were not terrorists but innocent civilians. The game continues. Finally, after two years of continuous killings, a United Nations commission of inquiry says Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Despite all these facts, there are states like the U.S.A. and the Italian government that do not condemn the atrocities of Jewish political leaders and their military activities in Gaza. This is where the spark of the definitive awakening of activists, individuals, and organizations who have begun to make their voices heard in the ambiguous SPEC (socio-political-economic-cultural-civil) systems lies.
My Personal Position
My personal position regarding the legalization or organization of activists is entirely negative. I never want or accept organized and well-defined activists’ movements or organizations. Thousands of years of human history affirm that “The road to destruction is paved with good resolutions." So, when we are going to systematize our genuine positivity, the positive will, love for others without interests, or to give without expecting everything become destructive entities. I recall for example what happened to religions in the world. Once they became well-organized, they became “systems” which in turn demand propaganda, defence from opponents and opposite ideas, money, and power. They have to maintain their structures and systems rather than their followers. I recall also Simon Weil, who criticized what happened to party politics. They become like religions – They have to think about their own survival, and they don't have the time and resources for members.
Conclusion
- Activism is the unique and the most important democratic, genuinely direct response to the perceived failure or weakening of established global governance structures like the UN. It is an obvious fact that anybody can identify the disillusionment with the UN's ability to maintain "unambiguous peace, equity, and fraternity." When an international body, established precisely to prevent atrocities after World War II, is seen as collapsing or ineffective in the face of widespread conflict and alleged genocide, the responsibility for fundamental change shifts back to the citizenry.
- Activism fills this resulting power vacuum, becoming the essential democratic mechanism for challenging state power and inertia. Activists, unburdened by state interests, often act as the conscience of humanity, demanding adherence to universal human rights when governments fail to do so.
- The refusal of powerful states (like the U.S.A. and Italy) to condemn alleged atrocities further reinforces the activist belief that the current global systems are fundamentally compromised, thus necessitating a definitive awakening outside of established political channels.
- In sum, I suggest that in an age where international institutions are faltering and state actors are perceived as ethically, morally and democratically compromised or complicit, activism is not merely an option—it is a societal necessity for restoring justice, identity, and the foundational ethical, moral principles of humanity. It is the spontaneous and direct democracy, the essential spark when the established global engine fails.

MY AGATHOKAKOLOGICAL DAYS (day 03) - Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
Background of the Quest
The central argument - that international governance (specifically the UN) is dysfunctional, beholden to powerful states, and that the world is trending toward a "Neo-authoritarianism". The world is reverting to a Hobbesian "natural state".
My personal logical foundation is based on two systems: dualistic logic (true/false constraint) and catuskoti logic (Both true AND false, Neither true NOR false, or ineffable. Or potentially any combination of the above. It is also fair to assume that I have not identified all possible combinations). Therefore, the argument may seem diverse, contradictory, and complicated.
Dysfunctionality of international community
UN's hypocrisy - acting as a "bully" toward indebted nations while remaining "cowardly silent" about the "powerful untouchable" ones.
A quarter of the way through the 21st century, the world seems globally almost anarchic, where international law, the international community, and the UN have fallen to their lowest point of dysfunction relative to how they should be. By the way, the UN and human rights (HR) organizations today are almost cowardly silent for the errors of “powerful untouchable” countries (which hide behind the word “democracy”), but they act a bit like a bully only for countries that survive on debts and donations from economically rich countries and different world banks. Thus, today the UN functions for powerful countries like a condominium assembly. This is a truly bad situation for the world. The world has almost returned to its pre-United Nations days. It functions not as an independent organization but under threat (threats such as not paying dues) from rich and powerful countries.
The real challenge of democracy: new definition
My definition of democracy, prioritize high individual cultural, civil, and psychological quality over mere collective structures. Thus, I point out that systems are only as good as the individuals who compose and sustain them, offering a vital corrective to purely procedural definitions of democracy.
Meanwhile, I see the world is establishing another form of politics - one I would define as “Neo-authoritarianism” (Authoritarian regimes minimal definition - may be autocratic, oligarchic, the rule of a party, the military, or the concentration of power in a single person or can be found easily on a form of democratic system moving and mixing further all above said limitations. The main characteristic right now seems to be a strong, centralized state to facilitate market reforms as necessary for democratic political reforms or democratic backsliding). It's true that no country in the world is fully democratic, because democracy is a form of system of government that demands more from an individual’s cultural, civil, and psychological quality than from a collective level. That is to say, if the individual is incapable of deciding and deliberating freely without compromising their free will and surviving under bad life conditions, democracy will never function anywhere.
The present global neo-authoritarian system – “Bellum omnium contra omnes”.
I observe the world in general on two dynamic processes: the dynamic processes of survival for people who have nothing but to work (or search for occupation or in-active) and pay taxes to maintain their governments and the dynamic world of war among elites (rich and powerful countries, rich people, political elites, religions, weapons manufacturers, banks and finance organizations, all national, international, and local criminal organizations, terrorist groups, individual criminals, drug producers and dealers) to keep their power status. So, in general the world seems like Thomas Hobbes had defined: “Homo homini lupus est,” because we are surviving in a world of “bellum omnium contra omnes”: the natural state of human beings. “Neo-authoritarian” rulers are working hard to activate British colonial rule of “divide and rule” in their political systems. In this way they can move openly to soon “neo-authoritarian” political system to establish a powerful “neo-authoritarian” state.
Conclusion – The New World Order – Democratic-Authoritarianism
I maintain that this new world order is not all that new, as it has always been functioning behind the scenes. Though I call it “Neo-authoritarianism,” it can also be called “Competitive Authoritarianism” or “Hybrid Regimes.” Now I can openly think, write, and communicate about it because it has been “unmasked” by itself, exactly by those who are practicing it and those who are going to practice it willingly.
They start simply with the most common and justifiable dynamic — the right to have economic prosperity. So, the visible and analysable main characteristic of the “Neo-authoritarian” political system right now is a strong, centralized state to facilitate market reforms. This is a hallmark of many modern neo-authoritarian states, especially those practicing Authoritarian Capitalism (like China or Vietnam, and historically Singapore and ...!?). The regime’s legitimacy is explicitly tied to its ability to deliver rapid economic growth and stability by implementing market-oriented policies without the "disruption" of full democracy. The strong, centralized state is essential to control labour, stifle opposition to privatization, and direct large-scale development projects.
I'll stop explaining the topic of Neo-authoritarianism for now because I intend to delve deeper into the subject later. Today, October 4th, 2025, right now, I have to go eat pizza with my friends. They're waiting for me outside the gate to go to the “pizzeria.”
Concluding this note for my “Agathokakological days” (03) column, I write this warning seriously: "...Homo homini lupus est is not a historical footnote; it is the brutal reality of our time, where we are surviving in a world of bellum omnium contra omnes: the natural state of human beings reasserted."

MY AGATHOKAKOLOGICAL DAYS (day 02) by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
From the world of phenomena to space-time knowledge
Calendarization of life
Conventionally I address today as 10th September 2025. I did relevant organized activities according to this relative periodisation that we normally call calendarization of the financial year.
I may call it “calendarization” of the “life itself” because despite all the maniac and scrupulous separations of all simple tasks and everything related to them to accelerate, improve and make more and more profit strategically which will never get anywhere but only to continuous processing - calendarization helps people to establish healthy relations and communicate what they wish without disturbing their individual and collective rhythm of life. This is life!?
Time is repeated motions of nature
Time is just the measure of repeated motions of the world of phenomena. Without this periodicity we cannot measure time. We have no other means to do this. So, our knowledge of time is all about the world of phenomena or natural world. No one can perceive, conceive or apprehend unquantified time. Thus, periodicity is the base of our knowledge of everything concerning time.
Experience of pulsation
Every living human being is experiencing necessarily the pulsations of the heart. It denotes the life and activities of an individual. Therefore, all our activities are connected with the pulsations of the heart. From birth to processes of growth, processes of decay and until death each human has to wiggle according to his/her rhythmical throbbing.
Seasons of the year
Beyond this rhythm of the heart, man also depends on the long period pulsations of nature: seasons – spring, summer, autumn and winter. All changes of plant life directly but involuntarily affect the knowledge of time. This is on the other hand enriched by the life and behaviour of animals, birds and all insects. Regarding so-called inanimate phenomena I have my own direct experience to share here. I visited my hometown after 20 years and I found, first, the landscape of the town had changed. The riverbank and the sea beach changed unrecognizably. In brief, after 20 years I found the geographical area had increased (due to the river and the Indian Ocean 's activities) and nature was more vigorous than before. This means that change, decay and transformation are always in action, even where human beings cannot notice immediately.
Organized time studies
We have then rudimentary astrology and more scientifically founded astronomy and rigorous astrophysics of 21st century to note the periodicity of the sky, its contents, their behaviour and their connection with us. From these we achieve very important and more effective periodic motion knowledge that helps our man-made world processes. This knowledge is therefore very important because it directly affects everything including human beings.
Rotation and revolution of the earth
Thus, the rotation and revolution of the Earth are the two most important periodic motions for human beings and the rest of existence. They can immediately observe and experience the relation with the life processes of individual and collective activities. What we habitually call “day and night” is the result of the rotation of the Earth. We know about the revolution of the Earth, but the effect of this annual revolution is more visible in the floral world. therefore, the rotation and revolution, both movements of the Earth, are affecting relatively everything this planet contains. Despite all what I have said due to my (or any human's) constraints and limits in general and the delay in understanding the complex and complicated micro processes (movement, change, decay, transformation) of total existence, I may think erroneously that "time" as an objective phenomenon.
Conclusion
Well, then our knowledge of time, necessarily depends on the periodicity of the world of phenomena and the rotation and revolution of the Earth. This factual knowledge corresponds to our reality.

MY AGATHOKAKOLOGICAL DAYS - (day 01) - Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
I spend days to find or to compose the correspondent word for my thought
I encountered this adjective – “agathokakological” while I was organizing my collection of personal concepts for my thought processes to make a personal dictionary. I found this term in a phrase written by the English poet Robert Southey (1813-1843): “For indeed upon the agathokakological globe there are opposite qualities always to be found.” It is truly one of the best combinations I have ever used, different from official academic repetitions. So, I have decided to apply this adjective, a combination of “good” and “evil” together (agathos – good + kakos-bad, evil + logos-study), as the title of my daily reflection.
My first try of narrating life – “WATER, Man the Narrator”
For years, I avoided the powerful desire to write down my feelings on paper or any other means of communication. But I couldn't help it, and as a result, fifteen years ago I started my comic story "WATER, Man the Narrator" to narrate my story philosophically and epistemologically to understand myself. The comic story still gives me a lot of fun and helps me to cohesively organize the relevant logical patterns of my mind. I have started to communicate my world view synthetically and concisely in comic dialogues. I am experiencing how my dynamic world is moving, changing, and transforming. I have also vividly noticed the mind's dynamism and its dependent and independent reality. Furthermore, the most intriguing thing is to perceive the dynamic nature of memories and logical patterns of the mind: they are dynamic and without definitive forms, which in turn behave just like water that takes the shape of its container.
No worries – my systemic and epistemological refusal
I do not think, worry, or take seriously other people's judgments about me. Others (including my so-called family members and friends) cannot say anything about me for certain, for several fundamental reasons that no one can possibly know. I have a clearly distinct individual life of my own. I have never opened it and let anybody know about it yet. That is why I simply ignore everything others say. To me, they are simply projecting their flaws, their effects, their likes and dislikes, their emotional issues, and what they suffer to make me one of their scapegoats. This has happened to me often since my childhood. The so-called others around me considered me a problem and a challenge because of my direct reactions and answers. They all tried to do whatever bad they could to harm me and avoid me. But I opened my eyes long before these tricks of ambiguous, narrow-minded, and above all hypocritical world. This is simply a refusal to validate a broken system (SPEC - socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil).
On the other hand, my perspective moves from the personal ("they don't understand me") to the radically analytical ("the structure they operate within is a fabricated and flawed construct"). For example, my argument is that the primary unit of society – the so-called "natural family" is not a biological or divine inevitability but a SPEC construct (Socio-Political-Economic-Cultural), a cleverly designed apparatus for social control and cohesion.
The fish out of water
I have always been a fish out of water when it comes to cultural and civil world relations and communication. I have noted the ambiguous, bigoted, petty-mindedness of conventional society. They habitually question and answer with cut-and-dried, non-correspondent words and abuse power and status to hide the relative facts, failure and their emotional status. This uncomfortable situation regarding conventional societies, institutes, and religions made it difficult for me to establish healthy and strong relationships. But the catalytic force of my being has always carried me forward despite it all.
Now that I am an adult in every sense: in age, in intelligence, in practical life experience, and above all, having achieved what I always dreamed of from my childhood, I know what I am fundamentally.
So, for more than a week, I have been thinking for the umpteenth time again about writing what comes freely to mind but keeping the experience of the day as the foundation. In this way, I can understand myself as a cultural and civilized individual and how I move within the universal flow.
