It’s not uncommon anymore to find someone rereading "The Stranger" on a crowded subway or quoting "The Trial" in a social post. Despite declining attention spans and the barrage of digital distractions, certain literary works are quietly resurfacing—those written by Camus, Kafka, Dostoevsky, and Orwell. These aren’t just intellectual pursuits. They resonate because they reflect something many feel but can’t always articulate - a daily grind that feels both urgent and meaningless. Why Mundanity Hits Harder Today Modern life is fast, loud, and constantly changing. But beneath the surface lies a stillness—a sameness that many have come to recognize. Mundanity isn’t just about routine; it’s about the deeper sense of repetition and fatigue that can wear...
Few songs from the 1960s have left as strong an impact as "Paint It Black" by The Rolling Stones. Released in 1966, this haunting track quickly became a defining piece of its era. With its dark lyrics and hypnotic melody, the song resonated deeply with listeners facing personal struggles, political unrest, and the reality of war. Keith Richards once described The Rolling Stones' style as "cynical, nasty, skeptical, and rude." Their music reflected the chaos of the decade, and "Paint It Black" was no exception. As the Vietnam War raged on and social tensions escalated, the song became an anthem for those who felt anger, sadness, and disillusionment. A Song Born in a Time of Turmoil...

Aquarius, the eleventh zodiac sign, is celebrated for its free-spirited and innovative nature. Known as the Water Bearer, this sign often faces misconceptions. Despite the “aqua” in its name, Aquarius belongs to the air element, not water.

Here’s What Astrology Says About Your Love Life
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and lovers are prepped to celebrate it to the fullest with all kinds of heart-shaped chocolate boxes and gorgeous red rose bouquets. Whether you’re in search of the perfect significant other, already have one, or you’re amongst the ones who enjoy singlehood in all its aspects, it is still useful to have the knowledge of how compatibility is a factor in your love life. Many people like to believe that a good indicator of relationship lastingness can be Zodiac signs, while others remain dubious. In today’s article, you will read all about what two astrologers have to say about whether the stars can be trusted when it comes to the heart.
Can astrology predict the longevity of your relationships?
Astrologer Cleo Neptune believes that trying to predict what will happen doesn’t work, he says that the actual gift of astrology is the description of how things happen and how they conclude, it happens to be far more useful in that way. The issue with some modern pop astrology is that it gets simplified to an extent that it becomes easy to classify each other with the lack of nuance. Neptune says that passing judgment based on notions that are preconceived is the easiest way to stir for disaster and more often than not, newcomers immediately fall into this trap.

Instead of being a method of judging, astrology should be considered as a language that helps in understanding people better, says Neptune. He also says that the universe can not give the power to know whether something will or will not work simply based on their signs, humanity can not be granted such a power by the universe.

Can astrology predict love?
Astrologer Kesaine Walker has suggested the world not use astrology as a lone factor when it comes to making decisions about one’s dating life. She further says that indeed there is no doubt that astrology can help understand a person’s behavior as well as personality better, it still should not be the only determining factor of whether you should pursue a relationship or not.

Having a successful relationship is a complicated thing, says walker. The world is full of people and for two soles to come together and find common ground to build romance is not something that happens perfectly. It seems as though stars can not predict love, however, they do help a person understand the other better. All you need to do is believe in the fact that people are always evolving, including you and the person you are dating or potentially dating.
