There comes a day when you have to face your demons.

The capacity to view oneself in a wholly self-reflective manner, without the imposition of a filter or mask, represents the most significant challenge in the process of individual development.

It is inevitable that this process is going to be painful for everyone involved. However, the hope is that, at some point in the future, everyone will become the person they once believed he/she/it to be.

Ultimately he is right, but there are times, and we are living in these times, when many people are no longer interested in the truth because they prefer to hear the lie.

In the olde days, truth was held in high regard and it was considered a noble pursuit. Education was a key factor in this, with individuals who were less well-educated being more susceptible to propaganda and misinformation. The current situation, where people often form their opinions based on headlines alone, is a clear indication of the need for greater education.

It is perhaps inevitable that people will sometimes lie, but when the truth comes out, those who have lied often find themselves in a difficult position. They then have to face the consequences of their actions and the consequences that result from them.

However, in the present era, the same falsehood is incessantly reiterated until it is perceived as factual.

It can be tough to market what's already out there when you can get everything just as cheaply because it's not new.

Innovation looks different these days, and even toy cars run on batteries.

Other car manufacturers have, for example, the New Audi Space Frame with high proportions of aluminium and CFRP.

Who would have thought that style doesn't always work?

Well, we do because the comparison makes the difference, just because you sell wine in new bottles it is still wine.

It is not necessarily the case that a person who is behaviourally conspicuous is a genius.

It is remarkable how easily one can become distressed when one's own circumstances are relatively comfortable. It is important to be humble about the privileges of an easy life in a world where poverty and injustice are prevalent.

It's wild how easily we can get upset when we have it so easy. Be humble about the privileges of an easy life in a world full of poverty and injustice.

It is important to be grateful for the many advantages that we enjoy in our daily lives. When examining our mobile phones, it is worth considering why we take these conveniences for granted.

Just be grateful for all the good things we have here. Take a good look at your latest mobile phone and ask yourself why you take this luxury for granted?

You first become aware of this when you have lived in a phase of civilisation upheaval. Rarely does this happen without a sound, but usually after massive preliminary events that herald the upheaval.

May you live in a quiet time and even that is in your hands because those who remain silent agree.

Françoise Hardy, one of the most famous French singers of the 1960s, die on 11 June 2024 at the age of 80.

But her music and influence live on. Numerous artists around the world are paying tribute to her and remembering her extraordinary career and personality.

Recognising her internationally

One foremost among those who honoured Françoise Hardy after her death was Graham Coxon, guitarist of the British band Blur. Graham described himself as lucky to have known her a little. In 1995, Blur invited Hardy to sing on the song "To The End". The collaboration remains unforgotten and shows the respect and admiration she received from international artists.

Similarly, Tim Burgess, lead singer of the band The Charlatans, said goodbye in the artist's native language. However, Hardy not only sang in French, but also in English, Italian and German. The artist's versatility and charisma helped her to build up a large fan base beyond the borders of France.

Multi-generational fascination

Even younger musicians, such as Greg Gonzalez from Cigarettes After Sex, were deeply impressed by Hardy. According to Gonzalez, he was deeply moved when listening to her album "La Question". This admiration was mutual, as Hardy himself emphasised in an interview with Le Figaro.

Impact on film and television

Hardy's inspiration was not limited to music - she also left her mark on cinema. The American actor Elijah Wood also honoured her, recalling her role in John Frankenheimer's 1966 film "Grand Prix" and her brief appearance in "Quoi de neuf, Pussycat?" alongside Romy Schneider and Peter O'Toole.

Françoise Hardy - Wikipedia

Aesthetically, Hardy was considered a style icon in the 1960s. "Of course, it helped that Hardy was tall and beautiful and also had a flair for style; fashion designers like Paco Rabanne were soon showering her with clothes". Hardy attended a reception at jeweller Clerc in May 1968 in a dress with rhodium sequins by Rabanne, which was considered the most expensive piece of clothing in the world. She wore a similar jumpsuit weighing around 35 kilograms by the fashion designer at a concert.

As a model, she stood in front of the camera for well-known visual artists such as David Bailey, Richard Avedon and William Klein.[8] The Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo later named her fashion label Comme des Garçons after Hardy's first hit.
