Each sunray seems to disappear in the dust's thickness. Or is the light just an illusion and is in reality just the extinction of the flame, slowly losing its power to survive? Is it a crestfallen try or a mere fear? Is there anything like a "simple fear"? Each feeling is something special; it makes a human being unique because it can't be copied. It is what makes us different from machines.
Feelings are also the reason why humans can't be rational. Rationality is a rather unconvincing concept which can't be applied to the human race. Each feeling makes rationality impossible. It results in the fact that we can't understand some humans, sometimes we can't even understand ourselves.
How can we explain that? Do we have to explain that? The try to unveil the secret of our feelings, to descent into the deep cave ofour thoughts with the aim to bring in some light and understanding, is foredoomed. Because I interpret my feelings in a different way and react differently to them than my neighbour would probably do. If my neighbour would be me for some minutes, he would act totally different, but he is not me and thus we can never know how he/she would react in this situation. I can only assume that their action would be different from mine. This is why it is wrong, arduous and misleading to summarize certain evolutions in mathematical formulas.
I rather don't express anything than to set up a false thesis. What is the benefit of a thesis being based on false assumptions? The argument that this is better than nothing is not consequent and not logical. I rather think and reflect carefully before I knowingly do a mistake. I do not build up a dream castle to make my formula work.
We are not living in a perfect world because perfection is a concept which hardly makes sense. If there would be anything perfect it would probably destroy all the remaining things, due to the lack of perfection of all other materials, substances or living beings. Perfection is furthermore something so subjective that you can't apply it to a general concept. There is no such thing as a perfect thought and thus human constructions cannot be perfect. Nature isn't perfect either, because if it would be perfect it wouldn't need evolution.
If nature would be perfect, why would it continue to change? Why is my dog still chasing wasps although she must have realised that they burr and hurt her? It shows that animals can also be "stupid" or irrational and this highlights that Mother Nature isn't perfect either. She tries her best but can't reach the state of perfection. Every human being defines "perfection" according to his/her own perception. Each one of us strives towards our own definition of perfection without ever reaching this state though.
It is this drive that pushes us towards change. If we lose our self confidence, the vision of perfection seems to disappear in a huge cover of mental dust. We are temporarily lost and without orientation. The way towards our perfection seems unclear. As soon as our confidence returns, the mental dusts leaves and the vision of our perfection reappears, making it possible to follow it again.
But how can I win my confidence back?How can I get up? On the first sight it seems impossible. On the second sight we discover that all depends on us. It is our assertiveness and our will that brings us back on track. We have to implement short and middle term objectives. They make it easier for us to follow our long-term vision and they enable us to not lose orientation, to grasp them and remain focused. Those objectives have to be challenging because if they are not challenging enough we lose our motivation and of course they have to correspond to our desire because if not we do not sufficiently identify with them.
Our surrounding is also crucial. If we do not have the social support we would need to achieve our objectives then we need to move to a place where we could get this support. We have to leave the place where we are isolated to go to a region where we can prosper. You can receive help via distance but it comes combined with huge efforts and might make you feel tired after a while. If there is a place on earth where you feel well and where you receive this support, you should go there, no matter how far away it is. Being there will dissolve your mental dust.
