Dealing with make us wrong

The human being’s ability to always want ready-made formulas apparently invalidated, but authenticity is always worth more than perfection, balancing the parts of the whole.

Loves, passions, society, environment. And about have a successful career? Does my family welcome me as they would like? Would you forgive me for my mistakes? Do I forgive myself? Courage to assume who we are and our responsibilities.

Whose fault is it again? Of society? But we are and we are part of it, we are not separate. We forget that we do not have all the answers, and human beings will have the humility to realize that we are more intelligent. So many instances of destruction, so much progress destroyed by selfishness. When you think about our little lives, there is always that existential crisis. Would it make any sense to worry that much?

When success comes, we like it, but we boast, and exalt, how much we are “good guys”. Life gets complicated, but we have to pause ourselves, and perhaps find a way to face the moment for ourselves. So brief and so magnanimous to see, but the demands and the fear, projected insecurities of those who want to fit in.

When something suddenly hurts us and we do not know what to do, the reactions can be tragically different and, many times, are not the most appropriate we would like. So what to do? It is not always easy to find out, as there is no single magic solution, it depends on the problems, your past, your way and the supposed consequences.

For each person, situations can be, according to their perception, bigger or smaller, but the best way to face reality is to step back from the situation, see with new eyes, calm down and refresh your mind, try to find solutions alternatives or accept what does not change or create.

Not everything has a resolution, not everything is easy to solve like just eating a piece of chocolate cake. There are very cruel facts, which have to be analyzed with due attention and palliative care. We live, but the socially invented jobs that stress us, distant concepts of happiness and success, maybe we don’t have all the answers, nor as much pride as we imagined.

And it’s okay, it’s part of our nature, it’s okay to calm down, even with these little gestures between words. It’s okay to take time to understand this anxiety and be able to live with more lightness and confidence. We are just parts of a whole, fruits of the moment, and we are not in control of everything, sometimes just circumstances. It’s like that, because anything can happen!
