Past, present, and future.

January 19, 2026 by Adam Mazek

Writing is a process of communicating the past, present, and future.

The last time (I wrote this text on the 24th of July, 2025), I read a word of wisdom in one of Massimo Listri’s books, published by the German Publishing House – Taschen, entitled “The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries,” that since the first current libraries opened, 45 generations had passed. Throughout all these 45 generations, only three (sometimes, sporadically four) could intersect and exchange words of wisdom directly with each other. The rest is silence. Or, this silence can be whispered thanks to the broadly defined process of writing and reading. That’s how our ancestors communicate with us – by leaving the written words of wisdom.

We can process their thoughts, analyze, and argue with them.

Also, we can create our own reflections by being inspired by words written long years ago. For example, I was frequently inspired by one of my favorite writers, Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Of course, I write not only for myself and you, my Dear Friend, but also for future generations. Your role in this process is invaluable, as you are the bridge between my thoughts and the future. After all, writing is a process of communicating the past, present, and future. How happy I am that I have my own word in this eternal dialogue between generations.

I do not know why most other people do not transform their thoughts into written words and publish them. After all, in the times of the Internet, we can all become bloggers and writers. I have no doubt that creating my own website was one of the best decisions I could have made, not only for myself and my loved ones, but also for the benefit of humanity as a whole. I have no idea how many years after my death my blog will continue to run. Still, I hope it will be more durable than even paper books.
