The essence of a democratic way of life is an everlasting confrontation of own and others logical, ethical and aesthetically positions. This confrontation must be based on sensations of truth, justice and beauty.

The essence of culture is transcendence
There is no such thing as a cultural essence. A culture is a particular reality. Culture is always a question of transcendence and becoming.
The essence of peer
The essence of peer is engagement in own and other peoples rational failure and wit. If all meaning-making are individual and of equal value, humans do no longer do rational mistakes or cleverness. There are no longer power in better reasoning or action. Stupid argumentation is covered with moral value of equality. Human has become islands with no peers.
Universal joy
Enjoy what is essential and universal, do not dwell in you cultural arbitrarily. The beauty of reason, the reason of moral, the moral of beauty. This is the circle of universal experiences. You may find it in words, in natures, in numbers or other symbols, in the forms of what is.
The paradox of freedom and self-knowing
The antidote to power abuse and slavery is self-knowing, but self-knowing awakens the human being from the floating slumber of the feeling of freedom.
Human freedom
Human is a thinking twig, but feels free when it flows without thoughts.
The essence of intuition
The essence of intuition is trust. But there are huge differences between the newborn intuitive trust in human eyes, or the musicians intuitive trust in the music and the band when improvising based on great skills. Or the intuitive trust in the situation when being in the flow, as different from the intuitive feeling of knowing what to do when something is wrong.
Spring, a fountain, a soul
spring is nature’s roman fountain. As C.F. Meyer – Der Römische Brunnen says:
Up springs the spout and, falling, fills
To brim the marble basin’s round,
Which, under veiling, over spills
Into a second basin’s ground;
The second one, too rich now, runs
Into the third its falling waves,
And each one takes and gives at once
And streams and stays.
This is spring, which fills and over spills, runs into, takes and gives and streams and stays.
The fountain, as the sources from the well, and the spring, the movement that awakes nature and over spills. This is how the truth springs into our soul.
The essence of empathy
The essence of empathy is the humans blood ties with the earth
The essence of tolerance?
The essence of tolerance is what? Veil of ignorance or lack of adverse reaction. If tolerance is some kind of deficiency, how could this be an attitude which is presented as a positive value. Where have I gone wrong?
