 The word for Sunday, from me for you, because Putin threatens minorities and the world.

An educated man once said, wonderfully and almost whimsically, "There is only one inherent fallacy and it is that we are in the world to be happy. As long as we persist in this innate error, the world seems full of contradictions. Because with every step, large and small, we have to experience that the world and life are not designed to bring happiness. hence almost all elderly faces bear the expression of what is called disappointment. People develop very differently under comparable conditions. They can take very different paths in their lives. You can also go wrong. But – as long as we still want to grant them something like free will – they always have the opportunity to take a new, and perhaps better, path. You can change your life. But why should I do that? Am I not already on the right path and am I not leading a good life? Is there even such a thing as a good, better, or best life, or a binding conception of it, that could lead me to change my previous life? And who can claim that and with what right? Feel clearer, act smarter, grow spiritually! How do we reflect on what is really important? What skills do we need for a good life? And how can we take courage and really create change? As a free spirit, I am very aware of the meaning: a term that was particularly widespread in the 18th century for a representative of an attitude who did not want his thinking to be determined by traditional customs or official religion. So then, so today! Because we live in the middle of a society that wants to squeeze us into patterns and conventions. There is something heroic, maybe even eccentric, about free-spirited personalities. A "free spirit" is by definition a person who discusses traditional values! Free spirits live by their own ideals and let their hearts guide them. They don't get caught up in patterns, scenarios, or dynamics that don't match their own values and beliefs. They move in their own comfort zone and call their values home - this is their most important characteristic. Free spirits do not let society influence their decisions. This can be difficult, but only free souls are able to transcend convention and live their lives on their own terms. The fact that we keep our judgment from the dominant thoughts grants us true freedom; because without freedom of thought it becomes difficult to act freely. But this not only gives us perceived freedom: psychological well-being also benefits from it. Because just imagine how many fears you could get rid of if you didn't let external pressures guide you. Imagine what it would be like not to depend on expectations and social conventions - how would that feel? Probably relieving, maybe even liberating? But such a lifestyle also requires a lot of stamina and strength. Because being a free spirit is an act of rebellion in a world that tries to restrain and condition us. Not my thing, but everyone goes their own way, usually the way is given or not. Free spirits, on the other hand, try to avoid these and other traditional dynamics – and in return they accept their differences. They swim against the tide, but their approach is thoughtful, deep, and meaningful. All the best to you all, because you can't buy health, have you thought about that?
