The fight

I need normality in the sizes of emotions. I’m afraid of the enthusiastic on-foot decisions. I must declare and I must remember that I need consistency. I must remember that I must give a fight- this is a time that my life demands my being a fighter.

Instructions to fight:

Have your eyes on the enemy, but not too persistently- freely instead.

Have a plan but allow yourself the possibility of improvisation.

In order to be strong, remember that you are- above all- weak.

Identifying your weakness does not make you weak, makes you realistic.

Reality is the key to balance. Knowing what or whom you are about to face, acknowledging the pragmatic dimensions of things allows you first to feel and afterwards overcome any emotion.

You should not avoid feeling, as you should not allow emotions last longer than they should- or else once again you’ll lose your sense of reality. Extended emotionality is no good. Lack of emotion hurts you badly.

You will succumb, you will lose, and you will face your problematic self.

But the goal is to win. The end of the fight will be victory.

P.S. Instructions may be to be disobeyed, but above all they are to be obeyed.

The big bad wolf

Once upon a time, in a far away land, people used to believe in fairy tales. But then a big bad wolf came and ate them all up, devoured them without mercy. And the big bad wolf was punished and put  into a dark room near the centre of the earth. It was hot, it was wet, it was unbearable.

During these times, while the big bad wolf was boiling inside the earth, it started raining. And the rain kept on going for days, months and years. And so the earth dissolved into dust, crumbled into pieces and dispersed throughout the universe. And the big bad wolf- who had been hanging on patiently until salvation- emerged again out in the air. And he stood up, laughed and declared: “There is no time for games now, it’s time for our story to begin”.
