Not a little important fact about me - I like to walk in cemeteries. When I travel, I always try to visit local cemeteries. Firstly, some of them are very beautiful, with insanely beautiful sculptures, crypts and architectural elements. Secondly, visiting the cemetery is not only aesthetic, but also spiritual.
Many people are very surprised when they find out about this, and I am surprised in return.
According to Plato's ideas about dеath, the world is divided into ideas and things. Ideas are eternal and never change. We can know them only with the help of reason. And things are just shadows of ideas, they are accessible to sensory knowledge. We must strive to go beyond things in order to get closer to the truth.
It is the thoughts about death and the realization that everything, of course, makes me go beyond the material world. It helps me understand what is really important to me. It gives me a sense of the value of life.
So far, one of the most beautiful cemeteries I have seen is the Kirepesi cemetery in Budapest (Hungary). If you ever find yourself there, I advise you to visit. There are very old graves and crypts from the 1700s. Statues entwined with green ivy add entourage.
In Poland (Warsaw) I like the Powązkowski cemetery. Most of my photographs of sculptures are taken there.
I also like to visit the graves of famous people. It gives me a sense of touching history. Once I was at the grave of the German philosopher Friedrich Hegel, the Russian poet Sergei Yesenin, some actors, musicians and politicians.
What do you think about this?
