No Pain, No Gain
Anita Wach • Kristina Aleksova
“The magnitude of progress is gauged by the greatness of the sacrifice that it requires.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
27th sentence of the 30 Movements cycle
Wealth thrives on the illusion that sacrifice and pain are necessary for growth. However, victims have lost their sacred status. Today we are all victims and we all benefit from it. “The chosen” ones have no choice but to accept their normalized uniqueness. Being a victim has become painfully banal.
