Christian Easter.
Born into Orthodox tradition, but never a believer, I’ve never accepted the tales of crucifixion, resurrection, or the promise of eternal life in some heavenly afterworld. To me, it’s a story — one meant to soothe children and tame minds.
I don’t buy into religion. I don’t buy into science either. One spins myths for the masses, the other stretches the frontiers of human ignorance under the polished mask of “progress.”
Yes, science (the religion of matter) has built us a softer, more convenient life — but at the cost of our humanity. It has sharpened our cruelty, fattened our greed, and numbed our sense of wonder. And religion? It still plays the same old tune of fear and obedience, herding the blind with dogma and guilt.
Here we stand — 2025 years after Christ — more enslaved, more fragmented, more frightened than ever in a world where the richest 1% hold 95% of the planet’s resources. A world run by fear: of hunger, of sickness, of homelessness. A world addicted to comfort, distracted beyond repair — where the average human can’t focus longer than a goldfish.
This is the world both science and religion have shaped: a global shopping mall governed by algorithms and divided by beliefs.
Humanity is awaiting resurrection, it is waiting for a miracle, a savior, someone to pull it from its knees. But what is left to resurrect? The soul? That ill-defined, self-soothing fantasy we cling to because the thought of ceasing to exist terrifies us.
The soul — no one knows what it is, but everyone’s convinced they have one. The highest form of human egocentrism, the ultimate lie we whisper to ourselves in the dark.
And yet, behind all the noise, one question remains: What in you has never changed? Not your thoughts. Not your body. Not your emotions. It is that quiet sense of being! That presence behind your eyes — untouched by time, unshaken by belief.
Regardless... my wife prepared beautiful Easter eggs 😂
Before we speak of resurrection, pause, silence mind. Investigate. Find out who you truly are. Only then we may see the answer.
