COSMOGONIA

“For in everything it is no easy task to find the middle”  Aristotle

The wings embody an elevation towards the sublime, a momentum to transcend the human condition, they are also the symbol of over achievement or of carelessness in the face of the reaching of The Goal.

Ambition is sometimes thought of as a form of greed, or the acceptable face of greed, which can be defined as the excessive desire for more than is needed or deserved. However, in contrast to greed, which limits us to its object, ambition can enable us to flourish while also contributing to the greater good.

In life, few things are either good or bad. Rather, their good and bad depend on what we can or cannot make of them. People with a high degree of healthy ambition are those with the insight and strength (strength that is often born of insight) to control the blind forces of ambition, that is, to shape their ambition so that it matches their interests and ideals, and to harness it so that it fires them without also burning them or those around them.
