I like when I discover that I have no control
over something, when I find out that I don’t control certain issue, when I
realize that I don’t determine my feelings, when I recognize that my arguments
are not as consistent as I thought, when I feel discomfort over somebody or in
some place, when something positively opposes against myself, when I certify my
inferiority over someone, when I assume my intelligence doesn’t reach some idea,
when I feel impotent over sickness, when strength fails me to conquer an
obstacle, when I’m deprecated being the most able, when everything seems to
conspire against me, when I see myself in plain inadequacy, when I retract myself
over the inevitable, when my freedom is curtailed, when my idea is stolen, when
I lose in competition, when my limitations prevent me of winning e, mainly,
when my huge shadow appears. I like it because I can say out loud: I’m a human
being and I have all overcoming possibilities, resilience and
self-determination.
