"I've always wondered what our purpose in life is. Some say that God has already planned everything we're going to experience, others say that we're the ones who give meaning and justify what life is. For me, life is as if, since birth, someone has been gently hitting me on the head with a spoon. At first it doesn't hurt, but you wonder who's doing it and why.

As the years go by, these spoonfuls that you always receive in the same place start to be felt more and, little by little, you notice the injury that's developing. When you realize it, you're bleeding, feeling intense pain and wondering when that torture will stop. At the same time, you're already starting to get used to the feeling.

The few moments of happiness that you have are used to try to stop the beatings, but you know that, even if it eases, in a few seconds the pain will return."
