When you start from scratch

Isn’t that emo­tio­nal­ly contra­dic­to­ry? Let’s think about it. Star­ting from scratch makes me think of two oppo­sing ideas. The first is the fee­ling of fre­sh­ness, but the second is the fee­ling of hea­vi­ness. But how can these two fee­lings simul­ta­neous­ly be found in the same place?

When it comes to hea­vi­ness, I find it depres­sing to take advan­tage of the prin­ciple of cycles to sweep eve­ry­thing that we have accom­pli­shed under the car­pet. We usual­ly focus our atten­tion on our mis­takes and fai­lures that weigh hea­vi­ly on our minds. Howe­ver, if we take a moment to look at it, we rea­lise that under the debris, there are a majo­ri­ty of good shots, suc­cesses and moments of satis­fac­tion. So why must we insist that the end of a cycle gives us an excuse to give our­selves a makeover?

As for the fee­ling of novel­ty. It is true that the begin­ning of a new cycle always seems to have a lot to offer. Like a birth, a whole life is before us, offe­ring so many pos­si­bi­li­ties. We can even say that this would be an example of free­dom of opportunity.

In any case, deve­lo­ping a culture that empha­sises eve­ry­thing in a balan­ced way seems rather wise to me.
