Questions to yourself

I remember how my friend cried when her daughter left for the UK for studies a year ago. Now she said: Life begins only then when the kids grow up, leave home, and you have played a major role in your life.

Of course, I can also say that when your children leave your home, you can take a break and ask yourself – where do I live, for whom do I live? In order to understand the answers to these questions, it would be very good to just see for yourself the broader concept of “home”. It’s not just your apartment.

Only traveling we can realize that we are all the same. We are plagued by the same question – no matter what level of wealth we live in. Everyone is afraid to die, to be with themselves, and very often they are afraid to ask themselves the meaning of life.

But you only realize that when you go up and see those different people. Because you always think that this is your problem. No, it is absolutely everywhere. So it is in America, Asia, Burma, Kuwait – everywhere. But to feel that we are all the same and that we are neither better nor worse than one another is very good.

When I leave, it is interesting for me to go to a certain object, museum or see some prominent sight, but sometimes it’s just banal to go to places that have been described a thousand times. Much more important to me is to feel the atmosphere, to be among people.
