Among all this ambiguities we have to decide which side at the moment is better, wiser or positive. Human being is always destructed by two sides or two choices. Sometimes is hard to decide which side is better, more open, compatible, more conflicting or more symmetric. The main tack of the project is to find the right side in ourselves and try to live with this opposites and use it in a best way. Try to be flexible between freedom and oppression or support and opposing and etc. We ought to find as a persons a solution. This is our main task on the Earth. When we broke a window of opportunities, we have to find a way to open a new window of a new possibilities. There is no time for wasting time. Human being has to be intuitive and active both, at the same time. Has to re-unit Left and Right – Good and Bad – Black and White in Ourselves. Only than we can stay peaceful. • Inspired by book ZEN-BUDDHISM and PSIHOANALYSIS D.T.
