Day 049
"Reader! If a jellyfish came to a psychologist and said things like "Ah, listen, let me make this crystal-clear right from the beginning, don't give me these wobbly psycho-talks here, I want a solid and hard response!", the shrink would probably think something in the line of: 'Over-achiever, wants recognition from his father . . etc. '. And although to compare humans with jellyfish seems somehow inappropriate, maybe this a little strange metaphor can point to some quite widespread daily disaster: I mean the un-rooted wobbliness of second hand opinions which seem to provide every conversation with some kind of blur. The fear of sticking out from the group and its common places lets everybody shiver in this nervous jelly dance while trying to find the safe island of the smallest common denominator. Is it an illusion to imagine a group of humans trying to investigate something and then sharing experiences, information and excitement instead of social constraints? What about you ,Reader? Do you actually enjoy exploring life and to communicate your findings? How about finding the deep roots that make you feel comfortable in any social environment? The verticality of these roots provide you with ease instead of the shivering 'horizontal jellyness', which you might want to drop right away . . . just drop it and let it go . ."
