"People have a desperate need to hear that things will get better. They have a desperate need to believe in what they most desire to be, even if the evidence shows otherwise. They have the opportunity to decide what to do with their lives, but many lack the courage to write the pages of their destiny. Destiny is not written as we are told, but more likely it is the result of our conscious choices and the outcome proportional to our willingness to commit to improving in something, in anything we passionately desire to excel in. We have life in our hands, and it is up to us alone to decide what to do with it. But the freedom of choice does not presume any guarantee of success, much less any guarantee at all. We are at the mercy of powers stronger than us, there are powers we do not control, and the mere thought of control is an illusion that lets us sleep peacefully. Despite our striving and our indulgence in a thousand activities, we can never truly know how the story in which we are protagonists will end. It's like being part of a movie without knowing the script, improvising and stumbling everywhere. It's like watching the projections on giant screens in the main square of a metropolis rich in lights and advertising banners, emitting only sinusoidal interferences. Screens as giant as they are empty in revealing their images. Screens from which nothing can be known. The people stare in amazement, almost in a catatonic state, waiting to see what the screens will eventually show about their future. Despite people's anticipation, those screens can reveal nothing except the confirmation of an enigmatic, uncertain, and highly unpredictable future from which we cannot deduce anything, the same nothing projected by the screens themselves."
