Depending on Where One Is Born…

Depending on where one is born and where one grows up, it is not uncommon to reach, within just a few years of adulthood, a sense of complete saturation, total disinterest, and a lack of identification with everything the environment has to offer. And so, it is time to leave. And to leave without too much reflection, because that tends to discourage the decision. Here, the problem of circumstances arises. But no one can explain how it is possible that, even when these circumstances seem the most precarious, the right decision prevails, and before long there is nothing left to regret. Once the experience seems to have been absorbed and overcome, once what could be learned from it has been learned and it has become undesirable, one must abandon it forever; otherwise, it will take root, causing harm, corrupting, and no longer having anything new to teach.
