To choose life is to live "day and night"


We experience day and night alternately.No one can escape from day and night. This one, dark and often in solitude, costs more. It is not easy to adapt to the low slope, to the weakly illuminated path where the parts of the unwanted person itself are being rewrapped, repressed parts that need to be integrated into a new identity more authentic and real. Those feelings of passivity, dependence, weakness, fragility, inevitable frustration...

In this society, as hypocritical possibly as that of any other era, and in the representation of the theater of this world, the weak are mis seen. Society pushes for "character"; a solid character that makes us effective and predictable. But true human wealth does not go down the line of character that grabs and mechanized. We tend to relate to others from our safety, qualities, money, talent, culture, hiding our weaknesses and limitations, without realizing that they are also human and that it is through them that others can feel the same. Then they may not admire us, but they will love us; and this is what really saves us.

In our society today you have to be very mature to relate to yourself and others from one's own weakness and poverty. And even more so to be able to share it without feeling superior to anyone, but the same, and letting yourself be accompanied. This vital journey of day and night goes through crisis, at a time when the questions and the crucial situations are greater than the vital answers available to us, thus destabilizing our psychology, which begins to emit signals.
