"The journey of discovery does not consist in looking for new lands but in having new eyes." These words, by French writer Marcel Proust, make me reflect more carefully about our actual situation as human beings. Quite often do we feel unfulfilled, restless, wish for something new, different, extraordinary or exciting to happen. Our everyday life, our environment seem boring, the usual old insipid "dish". What to do to spice up our life - if we are unable to travel to exotic places or to start living in a jet set environment? (These, too, will eventually lose their luster and become boring!) Get "new eyes": this is what we should do. How? Well, as our emotional world is ruled by... no rules, each of us should endeavor to use new colors, i.e. find a personalized way to re-paint the picture of our own reality.
