From the biggest to the smallest

a different explanation on why we land on Tiny-Little-Things planet

Human beings life revolutions are:

  1. the birth of a child;
  2. a new job;
  3. a transfer;
  4. a wedding;
  5. falling in love;
  6. death.

How many children can we bring to life?

One. It is not enough

Two. Are necessary

Three. Only the brave.

After the third child, the thrill of the everlasting family revolution, in terms of birth, is coming to a natural end. Somehow you end living, yourself. You pushed the limit until far as possible. You have to be focused on growing up your children, giving them all the substantial tools to live their life as better as they can.

The second big revolution is a new job. The ascent, more or less dynamic, to the top of your personal professional realization. You are on the path to get what you really are, hopefully.

This second revolution has got a charge of mighty nascent state, renewable but exhaustible. His biggest enemy has several names. The most common ones? Routine, lack of motivation, burnout.

The third big revolution is transfer. Changing home, in the same town or changing town or changing country. A fresh start led by the novelty of a place to be discovered. Simply. Clear. Crystal. This is the one most nourishing Dante’s Ulysses spirit inside us: a practical and continuous motion, to which nobody would like to associate the vague sense of anxiety taking from the lesson of Ludwig (van Beethoven) who, along his life time, changed at least seventy times apartments!

The fourth revolution is marriage. Generally speaking, you marry once for all, into a sacred and everlasting pact. Normally speaking, this pact is not quite affordable and you need to experiment it again and again, because you believe in its sanctity. And you reached, at least, thee-times level and then you have to stop, because your counter medal is divorce, meaning expenses and money to save up.

The fifth revolution is falling in love. What a feeling! You heart is beating to crush your body. Your checks are blushing. You stomach is full with butterflies. Your skin is radiant and luminescent. You are in love.What a beautiful situation….

The problem is every nascent state can not stay nascent for ever, it has to be settled, unless you are going to prepare yourself to abjure the physics of love itself. Because after falling in love, you need to build a home, to be a family …metaphorically and not.

The sixth revolution is death. To cope with it. It is obvious, because you are still alive. Death is the antagonist of love. And still they are part of life itself, remembering you how miserable life might be.

Death is start again without someone. Someone you love. The recipe to overcome it is personal and mostly related to time to flow.

Well, after meeting these huge revolutionary roads in our lifetime what remains?

When everything falls down, sneeze-the-day-philosophies; mindfulness; enjoy-little-things-approach are going to thrive. They can give the essence, real and concrete, your existence is worthy. Or better you are struggling to realize it on the right path. It is just a different way of conceiving motion as the energy of life to be lived.

Staying focused on that moment will bring you within your life when your charge of revolution needs to be recharged and the above mentioned catalysts can not work any longer.
