Summary/Abstract: Is it possible to remain the same and yet to be different along our lives? Sure, it is not only possible but compulsory, because everything around us is changing! Today, more than ever, we live in the meeting point of, at least, three axes: the same – another, the near-the far, the different – the similar, and it is not a comfortable position because we have to chose all the time and to cope with uncertainty. It would be much easier to take refuge in an idealized narrative about the past (the same, the near, the similar), or blindly throw us into one of the possible futures (another, the far, the different), but these are extreme and non – rational solutions to the problem of adaptation to the actual Lebenswelt. Within such a complex Lebenswelt the sociality patterns are constantly built and rebuilt and the ego-creation process should therefor become more reflexive and overt.
