Hello
Everyone is free to go on a journey to discover what life is really about, but only a few actually take that step. The purest kind of adventure comes from doing this, yet it’s a difficult path: searching for meaning and redefining it in a personal way. It is crossing the Rubicon because the big questions about existence will not disappear; they stay with us without clear answers until the end of our lives.
That’s why this journey naturally comes with struggles, both spiritual and intellectual. Nietzsche described it well: the path runs through an inner hell. It requires honest self-reflection, because each step can reveal truths about ourselves that we’d rather avoid. Still, facing those truths is essential if we want to grow and move toward personal enlightenment. All the old traditions and religions said the same thing—from Taoism to Christianity.
On this path, you can’t escape reality, no matter how harsh it may be. But it’s exactly through suffering that the possibility of transformation opens up. The search for truth carries a promise: the chance to better understand yourself, find peace within, and decide what meaning you want your life to have.
For me, life is about creating value, not only for myself but also for the generations to come. To understand what we want to create and pass on, we first need to look at what we have received. Some things remain timeless and worth preserving, while others may have lost their relevance and must be let go. This requires respect for the past, a clear grasp of history, and a vision that looks toward the future. Only then can we pass on something truly meaningful to those who come after us.
Culture and traditions play a key role in this. They act as a bridge between past and future. Many of our values stem from old principles—like the Ten Commandments or philosophical schools of thought—that shaped the foundations of society. But we must remain critical. Are these values truly universal, or just tied to a specific culture? Traditions can inspire, but they should not limit us in the search for new paths that fit today’s challenges.
Nature also holds a central place in this. Humans may be the most intelligent species, but we are not rulers of nature, we are part of it. Like all living beings, we have limits. Respecting nature isn’t optional; it’s a basic condition for survival. Restoring balance between people and the environment is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and it demands collective responsibility, why here we think not only of ourselves but also of future generations.
In the end, it all comes down to one question: what legacy do I want to leave behind? How can I, no matter how small my role, help make the world a better place? Birth and death are certain, but everything in between depends on the choices we make. Every decision, big or small, adds to the legacy we leave. If we live with awareness, guided by value, respect and responsibility, we not only enrich our own lives but also the lives of others. In doing so, we give real meaning to our existence and build a bridge between past and future, knowing that the two are forever connected.
