Stop Feeding It!

admin | August 23, 2010

Now, there it is – the DREADFUL SECRET. In each of us, there lives a very hungry creature. In each of us, with a very rare exception, and you are not the exception for sure. This creature might masquerade under different monikers, but its real name is Victim.

Most people feed this extremely insatiable creature without noticing it, and it grows to such an extent that only a cover remains from them.

This went on for six months. I carefully considered all costs without integrating budget items. I wanted to explore the quality of our life and to prove the necessity (or efficiency) of change having figures at hand. Six months later, I presented a financial report of all the colors of the rainbow, in which each budget item was calculated as a percentage from the total costs. And then something unexpected happened. My husband said, “Interesting. I would like to discuss it with you”… Our battles for rationality shifted into a discussion of efficiency, and it was a completely different level of relationship.

It’s We Who Choose How to Live

Imagine that you are going to marry a bright, intelligent, decent and sensitive man with a great sense of humor, who, without a doubt, loves you. And then, when you arrive to his country, you meet just the opposite: a dark and closed person, who resists the slightest attempt of your intrusion into his life. In addition, you have neither driver’s license nor money (that is, you are absolutely dependent on him regarding the transportation and inhabitancy), you have no connections, your knowledge of the foreign language is pretty poor and you have no idea of what you could do to succeed in the new environment. This was my starting point of living here.
