The Tarboush Chronicles
“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.” Friedrich Nietzsche
Are you a real blonde? A brunette? Is that your natural eye color? Do you follow the Dalai Lama? Are you a vegetarian? Is that your real accent? Do you dress the way you want to dress or are you following someone else’s ideals? In this mass-produced era,
it is harder than ever to be yourself. Nothing beats the original and nothing really fits better than being you. "There is no one alive who is you-er than you!"*, because no matter what you do, you'll always be a tarboush.**
