Our life is about two vectors of existence. The first one is "to have", driven by the thirst for multiplication, the cult of consumption, advertising and marketing tricks. In contrast to "to have", the second vector emerges - the existential "to be", directed inward. This is the desire to comprehend the essence. How do these two parallels coexist in everyday life?
Psychoanalyst Erich Fromm presents his own understanding of the eternal dilemma of "to have or to be", which is the most essential problem of human existence, subjugating everything around us.
