Beware: There Comes Some Mind Boggling Stuff
People have brains. It serves to unfold the potentials of human beings. Potentials are possibilities. People have an inexhaustible variety of possibilities. They are finely tuned creatures that are elastic and can withstand a lot. They are sensitive and empathic, they can reflect on themselves and others, they can transfer knowledge and experience to different fields of action and they can anticipate the effects of their actions. They can achieve great things with this. But there is a catch. No brain exists on its own. This sounds strange. Especially for individualists. But it is true. Brains always interact with other brains. Potentials therefore unfold through meaningful interactions of preferably different people. The more different people are, the more abundant the possibilities. People cannot not interact. They have no choice. They must cooperate. But they do not always want to. Preferably they ought to cooperate with different people. But this they like even less. At this point tensions, many contradictions and sensitivities arise. Here you can create an influential impact now. I know you want it. I know you think it is difficult. And it is. It is very difficult. But it is possible.
