Gaia Weiss Instagram – For an animal, the den, its den, is the most important thing in the world. Humans are naive enough to think that, for them, it is not the same thing. They believe in big ideas, they pretend, they gargle with words and try to minimize the real, basic needs, on the satisfaction of which everything else depends. A worker who has decent housing certainly works better and drinks less than the poor guy who, to escape the one room in which he is crammed with his wife and children, tries to get drunk like a pig. Because of the lack of means, we try to impose ideas. But it is the day-to-day realities that count, while abstract convictions melt like ice cream in the sun. – Alice Parizeau « Lilacs Are Blooming in Warsaw » Thank you for the beautiful portrait @hamza_h_djenat
