It is important to have dreams, hope, longing, to commit oneself. But how do we know today what is really worth looking for and fighting for? How do I identify the relevant information? Is my longing still about my own seductiveness for greatness and power or is it about simplicity, authenticity and finding the right measure? From a global perspective, we have never been better off here and now. In this global world, how can I follow my longing and live my gratitude? What rights and duties do I have and where do I come into conflict? How can we set an example today with our longing? How do longing and responsibility go together?
