In the modern world, we hear these phrase more and more often. Somehow we're being convinced that we will lose a lot in life if we won't try a tech novelty, a new vulgar 'bestseller', or something worse than it...

This ideology of hedonism, or better said - of "trying everything in life" seems to consume lots of souls nowadays. But is it really worthy?

Actually, the problem of "trying that all" isn't that new. Every epoch has its temptations and trials. From my experience, young people and teens are the target group for such.

A natural desire to explore the world around us can be used in different ways. It is primarily a powerful motivator. But curiosity is also used by advertising companies and bad-minded people who want to hook as many consumers as possible.

It's so sad to see how new TV shows, books and social media make different addictions attractive instead of spreading the really important things when it has become so easy.

But who exactly makes the decision to “try everything”? I believe that we often don't think we want smth. neutral or even harmful until it becomes stylish.

A certain absurd reflex is triggered - to fit in, to be “trendy”. And after a couple of days the need for this appears again, since what was “trendy” the day before yesterday is no longer in trend at all.

Various temptations are always served as a delicacy, without trying which we will certainly lose a lot... A person’s hand again reaches out to the forbidden fruit and considers it sweet only because of its inaccessibility. (I recently read this saying on the Internet; I think it is very appropriate here).

What happens if this is not tried? Nothing bad! Moreover: more benefits will come from this. I am convinced that there are many things out there that are really worth trying, for example, learning to be more understanding of your loved ones, launching a useful fundraiser, learning a new language, or even learning to ride a bike :)

What is really worth trying brings good. And this is definitely not an advertisement :)
