<p>We leave our prints everywhere either out of curiosity to see how they look like or we leave them out of desire to be remembered in generations.</p>
<p>One of my friends said that probably the meaning of life is in leaving as less foot prints as possible, to make our life less noticeable? &#8220;That would mean that we live our life in harmony with nature, consciously make ourselves equal to everything and not try to be above all?&#8221; &#8211; he said.</p>
<p>And I felt, that I&#8217;m not sure if I want to be so unnoticeable, I felt like I&#8217;m that foot printer who wants to be remembered at least in his family. And then I thought, why do I need it? May be because I don&#8217;t value myself enough and I want that somebody else does it for me?</p>
<p>Looks like it&#8217;s time to go and carefully inspect my open wounds&#8230;</p>

<p>Нам важно оставить свой след по двум причинам, из интереса и из желания быть в памяти поколений.</p>
<p>Один мой друг сказал, что, возможно, смысл жизни как раз &#8211; таки в обратном. Возможно, высшее искусство &#8211; это прожить жизнь не вредя никому, сознательно не выделяясь из общей массы, зная, что ты равен всем, но никак не выше других.</p>
<p>Я почувствовала, что мне не хотелось бы быть равной всем, и я, судя по всему одна из тех, кто хочет жить вечно, пусть хотя бы и  в памяти поколений. И я спросила себя, почему это мне так важно? Видимо потому, что ощущение моё собственной значимости не настолько высоко и мне хочется, чтобы кто-то ценил меня больше, чем я сама. Всё&#8230;на этой грустной ноте пошла рассматривать найденные прорехи.</p>
