Prologue You can’t stop once you’re on this road -- it’s a relentless system we follow without questioning, forgetting its true purpose. The Olympic motto “Citius, Altius, Fortius” represents our modern age, where speed is essential, and we’re afraid of falling behind. We are diverse yet united in our constant chase for progress.
We’ve lost track of who this system is for and its real goal. We know it’s not perfect, but we’re scared of change, thinking that staying in this situation is safer than facing the unknown. In our hearts, we know we’re moving in the wrong direction but cling to the hope of perfection or convince ourselves that no ideal solution exists.
