Numero Berlin

Numéro Berlin - Issue 18

Every one of us has battles to fight. The real question is: Which battles are truly worth it?

In my opinion, we spend too much time fighting battles that aren’t worth the struggle – battles over territory, religion, pride, and honor.

Most of these conflicts are rooted in ego. And no battle born out of ego is ever truly worth fighting.

What’s more troubling is that we often avoid the battles that are actually necessary – like fighting for our dreams, for ourselves, and for love. But not out of anger, and certainly not out of ego.

Personally, I refuse to hate or fight someone I once loved. The most important and difficult fight is the one against our own ego. I get the sense that, these days, people would rather see themselves as victims when it comes to their unfulfilled dreams – blaming others for their lack of progress – than take full responsibility and confront their own weaknesses in order to grow. But this is the only battle truly worth fighting every single day. Because it’s the one that actually benefits us. It’s the path toward becoming the best version of ourselves.

And all of this leads to one essential thing: respect. Respect for ourselves, and respect for others. If we learn to respect one another, we can coexist peacefully – even if we don’t like each other or disagree on what’s right or wrong. Self-respect leads to self-responsibility. And that opens the door to growth, change, and evolution.

In the end, if you want peace and if you want love, you have to be a fighter – not someone who fights others, but someone who is willing to fight themselves.

Because to be a true lover, you must also be a fighter.

Change yourself – and by changing yourself, you change the world.
