Senseless undertakings: a song of praise for the slowness and the fun of unnecessary

weird actions: people, make more nonsense!

in hectic everyday life, shaped by efficiency and productivity, we often forget the value of the nonsensical. Columnist Knitz calls for more senseless activities and add a pinch of everyday life.

A current example of this is the young woman Theresa Fürst, who has decided to explore the Stuttgart light rail network on running shoes. At first glance, this action seems absurd and senseless. Why not just solve a day ticket and choose the comfortable path? But maybe there is more behind it.

The striving for efficiency and logic has its place, but it is also important to create space for spontaneity and creativity. The value of senseless action lies in the liberation of constraints and conventions. It allows us to see the world with new eyes and surprise ourselves.

By allowing ourselves to do nonsensical things, we break out of the narrow corset of the rules and rediscover the joy of the moment. It's not just about the goal, but also about the way there - and sometimes the real joy is in the way.

senseless actions demand to expand our horizon, to move us out of our comfort zone and not to take ourselves too seriously. They inspire us to be creative, to act spontaneously and to enjoy life to the fullest.
