6th sentence from a series of 30 sentences. “I love all who are like heavy drops falling one by one from a heavy cloud over man; they announce that lightning is approaching, and as a harbinger they perish.” — Friedrich Nietzsche

The world balances between knowledge and ignorance, rationality and emotion, nature and technology, past and future. Maintaining balance is constant, hard work. Every day we balance between fear and hope, facts and dreams, security and freedom. We live in a paradox. The more we know, the less we understand. The more information we acquire, the less stable we are. Anita stands on a stack of books and balances between instinct and reason for three hours. Millions of thoughts, words, images, and numbers serve as a pedestal for a body filled with bones, tissues, veins, arteries, fluids, and organs. The anatomical model of an intelligent mammal confronts the instability of the civilized world.
