I started writing this after a conversation I had about family.How important it is in our lives, how much they influence us while growing up, if we will keep the same model for creating our own family even if we know that something didn't work out, if we always seek for a ''family'' when we feel alone and we are away from home...
Thinking about being away from home, made me wonder how important adjustment is. Is it the same easy/difficult for a person to change house/country/language/friends/colleagues? Is it bad when somebody needs more time or even is reluctant to sacrifice his/her coziness and convenience for something better..or not...for something different, for a risk.
Thinking about time and risk. When do we settle down? Is there an age limit where someone should get married, have a permanent job etc. No there isn't, I am sure that is the right answer. Then why do people gossip about you if you don't follow these society norms?
Thinking about society norms. Why do many people give up doing what they want, saying what they think just because the others will criticize them? How strong can we be against the mass? Do we want to be against the mass? How sensitive or fearless are we against the ''rumours''?
Too many questions and random thoughts...

«Βιώνουμε μια κρίση διότι χάσαμε την επαφή με την πραγματικότητα. Αντιμετωπίζουμε τους ανθρώπους και τα χρήματα σαν να παίζουμε βιντεο-γκέιμ. Είμαστε πιο ευγενικοί με τους γείτονές μας μέσω της οθόνης του υπολογιστή, παρά όταν τους συναντούμε στο δρόμο»
Translation: "We are experiencing a crisis because we have lost touch with reality. We treat the people and money like playing video games. We are more kind to our neighbors through the computer screen than when they meet on the street"
