In the social circulation of things, it's easy to get tangled up and start following other people's interests, someone else's businesses, projects, when the most important thing for any of us is to reduce everything we get involved in to a constant and unchanging denominator — our own path.
As soon as the numerator and denominator in this equation swap places, your expression stops radiating beauty, it stops being flavorful, you become a dim, burnt-out lightbulb, and on your face one can easily read that you once dropped something essential, something without which your life by definition cannot unfold harmoniously and naturally.
In the life of a burnt-out person, there is always an inner conflict, confusion, and contradictions, and often they don't even realize what exactly lies at the root of their disharmony. It comes from somewhere in the subconscious, but the total overload of everyday attention prevents even the slightest lifting of that curtain.
And they simply live with this burden, barely rolling from one day to the next. But something truly breakthrough, out of the ordinary, something revolutionary capable of overturning their entire world overnight — generating a brilliant idea, committing an act that could radically change their life and themselves in particular — such a person is incapable of.
There's simply no fire in them that would lead them toward an inner breakthrough, a revolution of consciousness, a radical change. Something inside them seems broken, something important, something fundamental... They seem to make attempts to live a full life, take a vacation once or twice a year like most people do, and even appear quite happy, fitting the criteria of a successful person from modern society's point of view.
But what's inside? Where is that passion that drives you to unimaginable feats, to the search for truth, to discoveries in science, to sincere and pure self-expression in art, creativity, sports, business — whatever you do? Where is that feeling that makes you burn when it's time to sleep? Where is that feeling that urges you to get out of bed quickly and continue fulfilling your mission? Where is that feeling that motivates you to go despite everything, against all odds and hardships, toward where the beacon of your being burns with a bright flame like the morning star, whose blinding light will never let you fall asleep while awake and sink into the endless abyss of suffering, laziness, and self-pity? Where is that person who clearly knows what they truly need and what their mission is for this current stretch of life?
Each of us has a chance to live a real life with real feelings, when you're genuinely interested in what's happening to you and around you — not a mediocre life full of hypocrisy, half-measures, cowardice, and lies, first and foremost to yourself.
Is this why we were born into this world? Were we really born to live like cowards until the end of our days and be content with scraps like jackals, instead of being a lion walking toward fear without a shadow of doubt, even if your knees are trembling from adrenaline?
A lion walking toward fear always has a chance to find the philosopher's stone; a jackal will always be caught up in someone else's affairs and ideas, but will never be themselves. And certainly will never be able to honestly express themselves, never.
Until the numerator and denominator of the equation fall into their proper places, where they are meant to be.
