Theme: Back & Forth

Take a walk; observe life. You start to grasp the simplest of motions around you and the most complicated of them. You see everything endlessly and constantly changing around you, it confuses you.

The fact is: our lives are filled with ever-shifting forces that cause continuous motion, an infinite loop, going Back & Forth and Back & Forth. The same motion is what revolutionised our lives.

-What we were raised to believe is right, turned out to be what is holding us back, and facts turned out to be opinions.
-Industry of the past is the danger of now.
-Alternative therapy is the new conventional.
-Do we debate to reach a conclusion or for the sake of the debate?
-Economies endure refreshing peaks and disastrous troughs.
-Do laws stop crimes? Or are they causing them?
-Are revolutions the cause or the effect?
-History and Future are meeting.
-Mistakes of the past are the ones we are currently doing.
-Our waste is becoming our poison.
-Do movies reflect our reality? Or do they cause it?
-In a secular community, how are morals formed?
-Paradigm shifts, through ideology changes, or through different angels of a lens?
