DETERMINATION

December 7, 2020

SUMMARY

In this dialogue, Matías explores the relationship between adventure
and determination in life. He realizes that adventure and determination
are not opposites but complementary. Determination sets known goals,
while adventure lies in the ability to embrace the unknown while working
towards those goals. Additionally, the nature of universal laws and
their relationship with culture and human interactions is discussed. The
importance of understanding that, although there are laws and systems in
the universe, humans have the ability to shape and change these laws
through their understanding and action is highlighted. This conversation
underscores the idea that an individual can determine their own path in
the universe, finding a balance between determination and adventure.

QUOTE

“To avoid getting lost in the adventurous labyrinth of life, I must
have determinations that guide me to find myself.”
