A friend of mine today told me that
a last piece in her still hopes to get a greater good. A place inside herself,
where to find the inner needs or requirements apart from all superficial
positions we have to face ourselves to in a world of the 21st
century. What is it we all are searching for? No – I am not talking as one of
those neurotic characters Woody Allen tries to concern about, by trying to get
his very own problems in an order to live with. I mean what is the real one thing
we are looking for. A huge part of my entourage would immediately be able to
answer to this question in their very simple manner, by repeating answers a
society like we find ourselves in, likes to pretend:
Money – Success – maybe Family. The
more forced an answer is the more clearly pseudo intellectual or pathetic the
statements will be. Health or Luck will clarify the issue soon for some of us,
but for my own all those requirements never really explore the complicate
inside-out manner of every single person. I unluckily don’t know if my neurosis
gets over me and only tries to detain me from things I should better wise do or
if I absolutely need to bring my thoughts in a concrete order by maybe finding
some answers. After all, things change, but is there a time for it?
By holding the status quo we seem to
try to escape in a state of mind we don’t ever want to change. It seems a
mistake to be stuck in the middle of any conveniences, but aren’t mistakes the
simple reason how we compete in life? Somehow, what we need is more time. Time
for – whatever. Journeys, love, fashion: Just a further way in finding what we
are and what we want. Sounds pathetic. In fact it is. Actually I follow the
belief in a never-ending development of personality. I mean everybody telling
me he or she finally found THE way of life in it does not matter which case has
to lie to herself. There is no THE, it is just an A. For some it might be
following a career path, given from the very beginning, for others it might be
simply strange adventures at midnight. Maybe our view of the system stays too
dualistic. A separation like in today’s society is no more the one of bad and
good. Borders are blurred in a Batman style. Nobody seems to know who is right
at the end of the day – like Bruce Wayne who is fighting basically for revenge
occasionally defeating the bad boys.
We should accept that there would never be a right or a wrong for ourselves,
too. It’s a matter of choosing a lane or even not and letting some changes
enter our lives. Everything changes: seasons do, as a city or the
people we surround ourselves with. Our lives seem that restless and though we
would never get along without some issues involving some natural dissimilarity.
But why does everything always have to change? For myself, I do believe that
life is not a single picture you look at, maybe finding constantly new details.
No. Life is more than rather a movie. And it’s in a movies nature to change
pictures. So why are we this often afraid to rearrange our concepts and start
into something completely unknown – a kind of moving on? And are we ever really
able to change a situation without changing ourselves, letting a well-known
darkness we probably have achieved in any of our relations behind? In fact it
seems quite impossible, but thankfully the term itself declares it as the complete
opposite: I M possible. Thank you Audrey Hepburn!
Cheers
