Imaginations. Conflicts. Community.

Our lives are determined by certain imaginations, that we don’t necessarily believe in but practice nonetheless: We dance like there’s no tomorrow, we drink like there’s no tomorrow, we celebrate like there’s no tomorrow. But such pleasures raise conflicts as they are mostly not feasible without liver-damaging alcohol, uncomfortable clothing, wasted time or messy localities. However, it is commonly believed that these conflicts are not bearable for everyone which is a preconception that Paul Watzlawick argued against. He was convinced that conflicts can be overcome when people work together.

Philosopher Robert Pfaller explains how fixed societal norms influence our life and prevent us from living it to the fullest.
