Why do we preserve the ruins of the eternal city?

Will they eventually be left to rot and let nature take its course, so to speak?
Here comes a brand new comic from the life of Metis, drawn by Melanie Gerber.
Do you sometimes feel completely lonely, even though you are surrounded by people? Does the world-weariness press on your chest?
Learn something about the way of tea in the Wisdom Talks podcast from ETH Zurich. Frederike Maas spoke with Meng-Lin Chou about the wisdom practice of Gong Fu Cha, the Chinese art of drinking tea. You can find the Poscast at metis.ethz.ch
Many know the picture The Scream by Edvard Munch. While reading a book of poems, I came across the following lines by the Norwegian artist.
