We find ourselves as if trapped in the quest to discover ourselves, as if wandering between two different poles - the media, which so realistically presents all the dangers and injustices in the world, and social networks portraying an easy and perfectly beautiful, almost perfect life narrative. So, where are we stuck? Why are we still stuck somewhere? Haven't we tired of climbing as if mice on slippery walls, climbing and soon sliding down. We feel those heavy moments when it seems that we're about to lose the last shreds of strength and faith.

 

If we were to look at our daily routine - morning and evening, counting every task, direction in which we step every day, we'd feel that the vast majority of the routine is utterly meaningless. We're stuck serving others, serving things, as there are so many of them, and they constantly need to be pulled, cleaned, mountains of clothes to wash because tomorrow is once again the grand stage of our lives, where we need to be flawless.

 

My perspective doesn't necessarily have to be comfortable for you. We never agreed that I must cheer you up or console you. That's life's reality. It's easy to deceive ourselves - we are not equal: we don't look the same, we don't earn the same, we don't live in the same conditions. All our differences and the duality of life itself encourage progress, change. And it all starts with a question - what's next? Why are we the way we are, and why are we so strongly emotionally influenced by others? Let's get to know ourselves and the reasons behind the behavior of others.
