I have a magic pill that can give you everything you want... Imagine taking one, and you wake up with the body you've always dreamed of; another pill and you're happy; another that gives you all the money you want. This pill does not exist. However, it is the way of thinking of most people; they look for immediate gratification, the easiest way. We live in a time when impatience is rampant, and people are experiencing high levels of frustration, stress, anxiety, and depression. While we belong to a generation that has access to endless opportunities, the abundance of options can sometimes lead to mediocrity. You were promised the life you wanted and told it would be easy: the famous American Dream. You were led to believe that you will succeed if you follow a certain path. But as you've discovered, that success turned out to be mediocre, and what you truly desire is to stand out. You want your life to have meaning; you want to change the world, and you want to be heard. We live in a world of paradoxes, where everything that can bring you what you desire is the same thing that brings you mediocrity and self-prescribed poverty. The magic pill is the paradox between what you are looking for and why you can't find it. It is a funny story of paradoxes and donuts, where the donut symbolizes immediate pleasure, the same one that brings you difficulties in the long run.
