Circumstances

(2020 - 2021)

​

Epictetus, Greek philosopher, 50 AD, said that Circumstances don’t make the man; they only reveal him to himself.

 

Our live have been changed in the most drastic ways with the pandemic of the Covid 19.

It’s not the first pandemic that Mankind encounters, but the first in a modern, multi-social era we live in, and it’s often hard to prepare for challenges because we get comfortable in the life we live in.

 

Deprived of our liberties, contrived to isolation, compelled to question our behavior towards others and ourselves, we can feel powerless.

 

Circumstances themselves are neutral. They are not good or bad unless we label it so. It’s our thinking about a situation that makes it a problem or an opportunity.

We can complain about them, hide from them or see them as an opportunity to learn and grow.

 

So I have decided to approach the situation, for my own sanity, and the one of the people I care for, in a humorous and creative way.
