Atlas

In the Greek myth of Atlas, the giant is imprisoned because he balances the whole world on his shoulders. He is able to do it, but because he carries the whole world, Atlas can’t do anything else. Atlas can’t even eat, drink, or just share some times with friends. So often in our lives we try to balance the entire of our world on our shoulders, in moments feeling we should or can be invincible and all powerful. But even a Greek giant struggles when balancing the world and has no power to do anything else.

When have you felt like you were balancing the weight of the entire world on you?
