Now many car dealerships offer a service called “test drive”. As far as I know, this service allows a potential car buyer to try out the model they like in action. Drive it for some time, with a car dealership employee nearby, who can suggest something, warn you, tell you about some hidden capabilities of the unit. Accordingly, when choosing a car, you can go to different showrooms and try to “drive” different cars. And this is a great opportunity to determine whether a particular model or brand is right for you before you make an expensive purchase. What I mean is that many of us may think that the same test drive can be done with relationships, with life, with ourselves, in the end. You can’t try life and choose another, you can’t start a relationship and then get out of the car and to say - I’ll go and try another model, forgetting about the previous one and leaving it in the hands of the salon managers, who will offer it to other potential buyers. That is, of course, you can try, take a closer look, meet, communicate, but even this is already building relationships, this is already part of your life. And it is impossible to remove it or return to the starting point. We can and will forget, pretend that “this” did not happen, hide this or that person or relationship in the far corners of our memory, trying not to remember the model and configuration, we will look forward to the release of a new, improved version, save money, take loan and live while waiting for your dreams. Let us let ourselves be carried away by advertising in which “that same” car races, overcoming all obstacles, which is “created for life”, which will allow you to “drive your dreams”, etc. I would like to avoid these wonderful, but already hackneyed and therefore irritatingly perceived phrases like “Live for today” or “Do today what you want to do, because tomorrow may not exist.” I just want to say that life is not a test drive. There is no such function in life’s “car showroom”. Each of us will do what he himself considers necessary and suitable for him at one time or another - this is indisputable. But, you must admit that even taking a car for a test drive for half an hour and driving it for five years, determining and choosing whether it’s the right car, is too much even for the “coolest” salon. :) And yet - let's remember that life is not a test drive.
