It cannot be manipulated...
Sometimes the real value is in doing it now, even if it's not ideal. It gives the impression that we have renounced Utopias, fascinated by techno-millionaires, AI and media success, we live on "fury and sounds" while it threatens us, the dystopia of a world without God, without limits, without responsibilities.
Life, in some way is a learning, to distinguish what is right and what is wrong. In its origins there is the family, social and cultural context, but as we believe in age, we enter what we usually call "the age of reason", in this stage, it is when we individualize and become "we are what we are".
It is at that moment that we move on to freedom, autonomy, independence, responsibility and consciousness. Do you know why? Because we are no longer what we are but, we rise to another level, in what we want and can be.
I mean the.the beginning of real reality or the bathing of reality in the present tense, that moment that imposes itself and is perhaps the decisive moment in our life. The more time we spend on the screen, the less real life we have.
While we enjoy the reflection and the shadows, as in Plato's myth of the cave, about the shadows of others, where the tendency is to evade one's own.
We must and must make decisions and assume them from responsibility and conscience. St. Augustine tells us: be free and do what you want, but do it with Love, or the usual, you are free, do what you want but assume the consequences of your actions and your decisions. The rest is something known and known with age.
"It would be said that man is dissatisfied with himself, that he is incapable of giving a meaning, a content, to the fact of being in the world." - Eugenio Montale Nobel Prize in 1975.
I think it is accountability, the feeling of guilt, having learned or known too late, blaming the cow, circumstances, others, etc, etc, and an eternal exceptera. It seems like a lie, but our conscience is a compass, which speaks to us, but it depends on each of us to listen to it or not to do it, to have the courage and wisdom, in addition to having the maturity and making the right and timely decision, perhaps functional. This is the true existential agonistic freedom, of authenticity, and coherence and the possible inner peace, the most precious good for everyone.
When you are faced with what has happened to you, you do not necessarily act better, you may do the same or worse until you have it solved.
That's when you can write the future in a different way to stop giving us with the same stone that sometimes hurts. Don't keep putting off what you know matters. Time does not stop for anyone, and the perfect rarely comes.
At least, for this lizard 🦎 the perfect time came, she's still alive, when I rescued her from the jaws of my pet dog.
