Time-out

Between Alfred Komarek's "Anstiftung zum Innehalten" and Barbara Adam's "Time" the desire for a time-out gains momentum.
A time-out from what?
A time-out from the treadmill, the hamster wheel, as we say in German (Hamsterrad)
And a time-out from the anesthetic that we call our comfort zone. (Thank you Placebo)
But is this not a contradiction?
No, just a slight change of perspective.

Never forget how it was in the wheel.
Otherwise you become worse than those caught within.

Another reason to leave your comfort zone once in a while and have a time-out from feeling smug, lazy or powerless.
And consider this candle for reasons you can imagine:
