Given that Wednesday always asks for a shadow to share then I try to capture the shadow in the white field, to see how the dark is in a bright area. I think that shadow is strong enough to be captured by a camera, even with a cellphone camera. And hey, I even saw this picture as a reflection.
To be honest, I have no idea yet at all when making this paper, but when I say “the shadow in the white field” above it, occurred to me a reality where darkness and light can appear together at the same time and place. This idea has even drawn a range of reality around me about how lies, massive cheating, and framing can play openly in the mass media, in the community, or in various conversations, without feeling guilty amidst advances in information technology where almost all information can be created and found easily and openly.
In such circumstances, some people like a shout out facts in the ears of deaf people, show pictures in front of blind people, while some others freely flip through facts and accuse cheating or lying to people trying to tell the truth. Really, this is an interesting picture of the human ego that only emphasizes the interests of themselves, their groups, or those they support. Tsk…

The light and shadow makes sense on the car door handle
Yes, it is true. Something small but gives something clear.
Like very much the title of your post – true & very expressive & philosophical!!!
Thank you for your compliment, Anastasia, it always encourages me.

I accept all your expressions in appreciating my post. Thank you very much.
great title, and your high contrast approach to shadow pictures really showcases your analytical skills…
Sometimes ideas come when they see a general phenomenon but can show symbolic meaning.
if there isn’t some meaning, is it even art?
Ah… You have shifted one point of truth to another very beautifully.
on the other hand, we can find beauty in nature which would by definition be unintentional…
Nature is the source of such things, of course.

If we really do not want to have a mess in our lives, we must completely abandon the ego with the clarity of how and why we have so far explained it.
I am sure you are mature and full of experiences in this regard, Ellenka.
The internet just amplifies what is in the real world …
Albert, I’m curious, where do you think is ego born from?
The ego is born together with our birth as the darkness around the Soul (True Spirit) or something that keeps us separated from our true reality which is the human tendency to see itself only based on the five senses, mind and intellect. Indeed, the ego is born with us to make us temporarily forget our true self so that we can learn on Earth and fulfill its birth vision.
Please remember that this is only in my opinion.
Well, it kinda confusing for me … perhaps I’m far from your level :p
Believe me that you are at a higher level than me.
Know that I have written it all down merely in order that I can look great.
I guess we all did … we al post here to look great 😀
Is it true? I think it’s ?nly me who thinks like that.
Lol, who knows, maybe we all think similar … ? :p
Apparently, our motivation is still at the third level.
I would say the old adage about the two dogs fits here well. That each of us has two dogs insside (light and dark) the one we feed is the one that wins.
Nice picture
Yes, I remember that old adage, and I agree…
The human ego often causes problems in our lives. People are usually not aware of this.
You are right. The ego always enters into our way of thinking and emotion, so without the desire to realize it, putting out the ego is almost impossible.
I think it was a perfect analogy, where the ego creates shadows. Survival instincts, those that lead to prejudice, fighting against our spiritual side, the one that opens the gates to the higher knowledge and truth. The ego acts like an opaque object that doesn’t allow light to pass through. That makes sense. ?
Extraordinary! Your thoughts are very bright and profound, Sabrina. I really admire your spiritual understanding! Yes, the ego is the darkness around the Soul or the human tendency to see itself only based on the five senses, mind and intellect.
There are only certain times when light and darkness can be together, in harmony at least, one is in your amazing photo. I see a picture in the door handle. Great job.
Thanks for your compliment.
Anda benar, Carol. Saya pikir saya telah beruntung menangkap moment itu.
Upz… I’ve replied with my language again… I mean is: You are right, Carol. I thought I was lucky to catch that moment.
My friend….. picture is unique … think about it, I really can not … I read it and this 2x I did not find the conclusion … sorry
Thanks a lot for the compliment and your time to think about it, dear friend.
You know me and you know that it is insufficiently philosophical inspired
Inspired or not philosophically, if we both sit side by side while enjoying a cup of coffee or boiled wine, we will still laugh out loud talking about the beauty of life, right?
Oh, how nice … and exactly like that, dear friend
