Close your eyes. Pay attention.

Attention is what steers your perception. But attention is a limited resource. If you do not attent to something you cannot be aware of it. But you can attend an event without being aware of it! (1)

Being aware of what you see. Or focusing on your internal thoughts? Most choose the first. But is it even a matter of choice? Why would nature even give us a choice? Why have the ability to concentrate on unimportant things?

The only thing that matters is inside you. Close your eyes.

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
