The «sacred» norm, to which we try our best to conform, increasingly resembles a Procrustean bed, which does not contain the most valuable. Instead, it is full of fears, the biggest of which is the fear of being yourself. Why do we want so badly to squeeze into the hole of the norm, ruthlessly trimming parts that don’t fit? John Paul II once said: the Decalogue did not include one important thesis — do not be afraid! We all are Different. Majority does not exist. The stars light up because thermonuclear fusion is taking place. And it doesn’t matter what people think about it. And when you look at the starry sky, where does your moral compass point?
