When we are on the verge of adulthood, they delude us that dreams are there to come true, that our plans, hopes, and wishes will be fulfilled no matter what. We jump on the bandwagon of adulthood wishing for something better, different and happier than was offered to our parents. Then we find ourselves among rules impossible to overcome, we repeat the same patterns: men stuck in boring jobs to support the family, women stranded between nappies and spatulas to balance work, home, and life. No one told us that dreams and ambitions die on the way to the rubbish bin and dishwasher. No one told us about the frustrations of adulthood, failed expectations, lack of prospects, fear, insecurity, and helplessness. But no one told us that it's too late to learn.

When the tragedy happens, you are always there to give good advice, you know better, it will be all fine in the end. Unwanted pregnancy? Of course, you will manage, a child is such a blessing, even though good pieces of advice tend to disappear at 3 am. when you're alone with a crying alarm clock. Disability?

The way we communicate does not have to be limited to sounds. The scheme of history divided us into countries and nationalities but there's a universal language of gestures that we all understand. Emotions, the language of sex, desire, violence, death. No words are spoken. But so much is depicted via those images that we don't find it difficult to comprehend every single situation. And we can see that we aren't sinless. There's something inherent in the human nature which makes us no better than animals. Tribe.
