Life is surreal, absurd, dada ... Anonyma, a woman from the so-called Bermuda Triangle of Berlin, preferably walks and talks. She enjoys night strolling through the streets of her city, babbles about life, history and everything else that crawls up her neuronal paths. Sometimes she leads monologues. At other times she listens and shares with friends. Born in Eastern Europe during the cold war, she witnessed the fall of the wall, rode the Berlin waves, a story collector, stays curious about everything, now she embraces aging, slowing down. She always takes life in with a pinch of salt.

31 - The Monster Under My Bed

There is a monster under my bed - and then it turns out it is also out there, everywhere ... and it's hungry, very hungry, a predator threatening to eat us all .... how can we get rid of it? - not by running away - first we need to slow down, to stop the crazy highway ride, so we can lose the tunnel view ... and learn to stay in the moment, to save ourselves and MOTHER EARTH. The crises we are in can also be seen as a sign and a chance to change directions (because unfortunately the strongest lessons we learn are taught through pain and sorrow) - but we need to do it NOW - we need to care NOW - we must stop IMMEDIATELY - we must change the course INSTANTLY.

I am annoyed with all the people around me who ignore the facts, shut their eyes and continue exploiting and using the resources like there was no tomorrow. How can a rational, caring person still fly to a distant destination to hang out in the sun? How can a sensible, empathic person still use a car just to keep up with the lazy comfort? We need more time - and we have no time left for saving the earth - BUT we have more time moving through our lives - if we slow down. Where are we hurrying at? What do we need to achieve?

Faster life means also more consumption - do we really need that? Does it make us more content or happier? Our dopaminergic behavior leaves us lonely, depressed, exhausted - while we are rushing through life on the hedonistic treadmill - is this really what we want, why we are here on earth? Have we already completely forgotten about what is truly meaningful and satisfying?
