A może nie trzeba być self-made orłem?
Agata Kulczycka argues in a weekly editorial for Więź that individuals do not need to strive for the "self-made eagle" persona often promoted in certain Church circles. Writing for the September 17, 2026, edition of the publication, Kulczycka critiques motivational messages that characterize weak people as chickens and demand that others become eagles.
Kulczycka suggests that embracing common weaknesses and being ordinary allows for healthier connections with others and leaves more space for God. She notes that many people struggle with daily hardships that make striving to be more or better difficult.
