Life breaks us
We are born with a selfish wish to survive. We grow up for fighting our own way.
Then we are able to stand on our own and try to see the world clearly. This time is when our will is free and unbroken. Our free spirit enables us to do anything. Our environment sets certain limits and our character we had developed defines the speed and width of our jumps. Some of us don’t jump much, other jump like young gods.
Then real life kicks in and we start to fit in. This fitting in is a powerful fight. Some even loose this fight and pay with their lives. Most of us fit in and join the masses to do what we as humans do. We work and comply and be part of a crowd to criticise everything which could endanger the way of life of the masses we are part.
At this point life is starting to break us. We stop to seriously questioning about the way we are. Our will has left the solitude of ourselves and joined the will of us all.
It all continues since many generations and we take earth more as earth can stand it.
