Western models of "good living" have taught us to have as many things as we can, to posses many properties, cars, to have important jobs and as important incomes. To become "somebody". And on the road of this achieving we have forgotten everything that was really important to us. We have forgotten to enjoy the road to achieving what we want, instead of the result itself, as we always get to our goal and start wanting more.
I have found myself wishing so much for something and by the time I got it, I had already found something else to dream of, because it’s the only way I know – to chase my dreams, but never enjoy the final product.

We forget to play, to feel, to taste, to smell, sometimes to read, go to the theater, meet different people, listen to some good music. Let go of our “commercial’ self, leave the “big scene” for a few moments, never mind what society tells us about shopping, cool movies and even more cool celebrities.
Ambition is man’s greatest sin. Our cemeteries are filled with people that once had big fortunes, big ambitions.We love dogs – dogs don’t have any ambition. We are meant to do anything we want with our life, yet still we can’t manage to get away from the long run in the winning titles, money, fortunes. Nothing will ever be enough, we have one more house to buy, one more car, a trademark wardrobe and so on.
Our happiness is always in the future, never in our present time. Surprisingly enough we are not even merely happy when the big moment appears. Yet another goal has to be achieved, that will surely make us happy ! Look at what trap we’re in !
On this road we find ourselves mature, staid, organized, forgetting about our friends, family and anybody who stands between us and out target. Grown-ups don’t create anymore, they don’t play, no longer appreciate spontaneity. For most, the moment they realize what they could’ve done comes too late.

So, I can only wish you all : PLAY MORE, play in every way you want, JUST PLAY, with every thing you’ve got, create with no purpose, give birth to useless ideas, enjoy the amazing show around us…
