2016

The mold I created and imposed on myself had had become too small that my whole being was amputated. In an attempt to improve myself, I was throwing away all my talents and living my customized hell. There is no enthusiasm *, there is no god. God is no longer inside me.

* The word enthusiasm comes from the Greek “En-Theos”, and means having a God within oneself. For the Greeks, the enthusiastic person was taken by one of the gods, guided by the own strength and wisdom of his enthusiasm, and received a gift: to be able to interact with nature and transform it. It was understood that only enthusiastic people were able to overcome the challenges of everyday life, that it was necessary to get excited to solve the problems that arose and to move to a new situation.
