(Res publica is a Latin phrase, loosely meaning ‘public affair’. It is the root of the word ‘republic’, and the word ‘commonwealth’ has traditionally been used as a synonym for it; however translations vary widely according to the context. ‘Res’ is a nominative singular Latin noun for a substantive or concrete thing – as opposed to ‘spes’, which means something unreal or ethereal – and ‘publica’ is an attributive adjective meaning ‘of and/or pertaining to the state or the public’. Hence a literal translation is, ‘the public thing/affair’. - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Res_publica ) We create, organise, execute events. And beyond. "Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?” (res ipsa loquitur)
