Beggar with a Duffle Coat (Philosopher)

Artist: Édouard Manet (French, 1832-1883)

Date: 1865–1867

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

This painting and Beggar with Oysters were conceived as companion pieces. Édouard Manet exhibited them together in 1872 alongside paintings of an absinthe drinker and a ragpicker (a collector and reseller of discarded fabric and other refuse) under the collective title The Philosophers. When Manet made the paintings, these “beggars,” as they were then referred to, were being pushed to the physical and social margins of Paris as the city rapidly redeveloped to make way for more bourgeois neighborhoods. Although he was born into an upper-class family, Manet was an outsider to the established French art circles and likely identified with these alienated subjects.

we have seen how much hate people are capable of

and how much courage it takes to be kind

because you will forget many things in life but you'll never forget kindness

I was watching a YouTube video about Marcus Aurelius

And I really liked this one part

Where he says

"We are all born for each other", the trees grow fruits for animals to feed upon, the animals die and bring nourishment to the worms

The food chain happens because we are all born for each other

I really liked this because most of the times we define or think of the food chain in a way of a particular way which is kinda sad? (Maybe it's just me who thinks that way idk? Could be)

But this makes me think of it in a better way?

If it makes sense?

We are all born for each other

It makes me feel slightly better when I think of it this way.

Few more things I loved from the video :

1. You can't control what the world throws at you, but you can control the way you react to it.

2. Maybe you have different thoughts than these so called bad people but you have your own faults nevertheless. In a different conversation on a different day, perhaps you might be the ignorant one and it's possible that you just don't understand. You can't even be sure that they're doing the wrong thing. The thief who steals to feed his family isn't wrong, you just don't understand and often in life you won't understand and you won't know you don't understand. So again. Don't judge.

Cicero and the Paranormal

Cicero was a skeptic but he had a lot of respect for ancient Roman divination.

From the essay:

During the last years of the Roman Republic, Marcus Tullius Cicero was a prominent Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer, orator, and writer who lived from 106 to 43 BC. Cicero was a brilliant writer and philosopher who wrote a tremendous deal on politics, eloquence, and philosophy. His writings have endured for centuries. Among his many hobbies was a curiosity about the paranormal, a topic deeply ingrained in ancient Roman society’s belief systems.
