the reason that i live in serbia is...


...the limited freedom.

sounds strange, but that's the price you pay for comfort. it's like riding down a road. a wise man explained to me the other day that too much freedom breeds dissatisfaction and hence discomfort. if you define your needs, and your needs are met - it doesn't matter that there is more freedom across the fence. if there is freedom, it requires choice. too much choice - and you start spending time/energy/nerves on deciding things that you (definitely) need, but you don't need the details, the fine tuning. by defining a frame for yourself, satisfying the basic (technical) necessities, you get to focus on your own priorities in life. and you can excel. that is what i want. to constantly keep moving forward. and in the aspects and directions of my own choice.
so i once again find myself in a world that exists between the worlds of the "free" and complicated (dispersed) west, and the "narrow" and simple (focused) east... and i find myself in the place where i feel comfortable, because on one hand i have what i need and the freedom to enjoy it, while on the other i have remarks and the patience to improve things.
