UTOPIA AND DYSTOPIA

It’s All In Our Heads

   It’s all in our heads… and hearts… and souls… and lives… everywhere and nowhere. Utopia and dystopia. Perfection and depravity. Light and darkness.

   But… If you tell me, “Life is black,” I won’t believe you, as you must be blind in case you see only the darkness. The misery of life which is like the game of chess, and you are just a piece, doomed to be beaten. Nothing depends on you, just moods of destiny and games of the great. Hunger, poverty, diseases, disasters, all those sufferings, wars and deaths… Again and again, in circle. But why? Why should I believe you?

   Then, if you tell me, “Life is white,” I won’t believe you either, because white means winter, it’s cold, a cold calculation of mentality. We are lucky, extremely lucky – to live, to love, to laugh, to breathe and hunt for ambitions and aims. After all, life takes care of us, so does the government and every institution, every person surrounding us. Why not? Let’s be optimistic, positive and enjoy our live to the full extent. If we can. Isn’t it doubtful?

   So, if you tell me, “Life is black and white”… Guess if I will believe an achromate or an old television picture tube! Neither bad nor good. Or maybe like that: both bad and good. Chaos is the highest order. A blessing in disguise. The eternal struggle of opposites. We are right, you are wrong. Anyway. Constant fighting with no results.

   You know, I’ve got my own head, my own heart and soul. And life. You see, I can see and understand. Don’t you believe it? Of course, you’ve got a big amount of your own theories. However, it doesn’t matter how many of those books and calculation are sitting around in your heads, I’ve got my own one. Moreover, each and everyone of us possesses a heart. My heart gives me a prompt: life is like a rainbow. Plenty of colours and shades in it, combined together. It’s really beautiful because it is diverse.

   To walk on the rainbow – uneasy task, indeed. “It sounds like utopia,” you can think. But what I mean is to realize all the diversity of the reality we live in and join all the colours to create a harmony. Let’s start with our own lives, at least some aspects. Step by step, day after day and we will build the bridge which connects our dreams with reality.

   The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colours in our heads. Hope, I was as good as them.
