The question of the mutual understanding of human beings, and, in fact, of understanding the essence of life itself, is fundamental. Difficult times, confronting the reality of global changes, seem to confront us all with the same issues. We are all subject to the same laws; we come, without exception, from the same source. From the very conception, unknowingly, we are included in a cycle of events over which we only partially influence. We meet programming behavior, the imposition of ideologies and ways of thinking, we meet the world built by the thoughts and conditions of other people. And yet, at the embryonic stage, we are almost no different, moreover: we are not much different even from a cow, a dolphin, a dog or a crocodile. After all, only for us, life itself becomes an eternal mystery. In times of chaos, which is mostly created by us, it is now more clear how lost and lonely we are among the stars.
