The Myth of Full Potential

I saw a video the other day. Palm trees, white linen, slow-motion smiles.

A voice whispered: Create a new life and unlock your full potential.

I laughed. Then I rolled my eyes. Then, somewhere between cynicism and sadness, I felt that old sting again. The one that comes when we humans try to sell transcendence.

Years ago, I used to work at one of those places. A luxury retreat center promising miracles and rebirth.
