winners versus losers
Christina Ciupke und Mart Kangro
During our exchange and engagement in the topic of Winners and Losers we had been interested in the common struggle between emotion and brain. There is a constant adjustment going on between your desire and your reason, you are longing for pleasure and restriction at the same time. Psychological contradictions seem to dominate your decisions and ideas. The affectionate part of your personality is hunting for harmony,your mind is constantly alert and looking for irresistible challenge. Generosity feeds enthusiasm, temptation provokes your need for constraint, dependency makes your addictions hard to digest. Strategy and confidence are necessary to keep your obsessions in balance. Your appetite ignores commitment, responsibility and consequences. Peace and silence of your inner landscape are luxury. You should not take yourself too serious. Practice makes perfect. Eventually the winner takes it all.
