Tropen

We want to be attractive and stay forever young. We strive for happiness, health, and success. We long for recognition, security, and love. And we believe that if we just work hard enough on ourselves and always do everything right, we will achieve all of that. But is that really true? Ariadne von Schirach's essay is a furious incitement to dare to live, rather than merely manage life.

Optimization and exploitation are omnipresent. Nature, threatened by greed for profit and sheer stupidity, has become foreign to us. This also affects us, our relationship with our bodies, which are controlled and no longer inhabited, our relationships and friendships, which are supposed to benefit us rather than enrich us. Above all, the demands we place on ourselves are becoming increasingly excessive. "You should not function" is a clever polemic against the obsession with self-optimization, a passionate invocation of real life, and a plea for a new art of living.
