What’s the point?

Here’s to the ambitious ones…

First Act

We get born. We live our first years in an automatic mode. Our basic needs motivate us. We want to eat (everything), to pee, to explore, to sleep. And that’s it. We don’t care about change or anything else.

Second Act

Education is giving us now a glimpse at thinking, from the lower to the higher levels. A sense of independence and of capability for change is born. However, societal rules are deep and powerful. So, the desire, if any, for progress and development gets covered with dust and mold. That’s the era where our personal needs come into play stronger than before. We want to develop ourselves in every area. We make dreams and demand perfection. We want the best gadgets, the best social life and the best body we can get. Our obsession is money because it gives us choices and power.

Third Act

We have achieved some of our goals and dreams. But something is missing. We still as incomplete as before. And maybe more. It feels weird and confusing. Some ideas come back in our minds. It feels like the solution, like atonement. What are those? It is to change the world, to look ever further, far away. For something so compelling and progressive that the world will remember your name for ages. And make sure it’s a good reason. Few make this realization and ever fewer follow through. But those fewer are growing in number. The world is becoming more interactive and more dynamic.

So, what’s the point?

The point to move forward and live passionate for growth and progress is that you are being given a membership for immortality. Not because your name will be remembered like Gandhi’s (maybe it will) but because your contribution is getting imprinted into the world. It stays in history and affects the future. That’s the point.
