How can we understand the world around us? Our everyday lives consist of a chaotic system of information in various forms and aspects. We experience so much but think so little. We think so much but feel so little. Sometimes we have to come up with a decision that affects other people's lives and most importanly our on. Should we have a method of systematically thinking about the events happening around us, or it is even possible to maintain a mindset like that?
We always think about ourselves first, and when it suits us we talk about the collective needs, the society we are just a small part of. I like to think of human life as a star in the sky. Just another existence in the infinite world that surrounds us. Sometimes new stars are born while sometimes other stars dissapear. But their memory remains, reminding us of what we were and what we could have been if things did not happen this way. And then again, sometimes stars come closer creating galaxies and huge cosmic events in a mixture of colorful glances, violent waves and unthinkable shapes!

Sometimes we think we have experienced so much, seen so many and we know everything about life, but the truth is that we know as much as our imagination allows us to think we do. Knowledge is infinite and so goes for the amount of possible opinions. Just because our seems to be the best one doesn't mean it necessarily is. Just like the stars in a summer sky, one might be brighter or bigger than the others but there is always another one with more, reminding is that it's not about the comparisson, rather than the acceptance of the different possibilities.
