Who guarantees that tomorrow will the day be reborn?Since we live immersed in a universe of enormous proportions, full of chaos and entropy, assuming that tomorrow is an absolute certainty is a great mistake.
However, this situation places even more importance on the phrase that dominates the title of this article, “Carpe Diem”, an important lesson that showed us the great film Society of Dead Poets.
- Let’s first see what Carpe Diem means.
- As the film itself tells.
- It is the Latin expression to “enjoy the moment”.
- That is.
- Live every moment as if it were the last.
- Because it can be.
Thoreau himself, when quoted in the film, gives an important clue as to what life should be like: he sucks all the gas, the crumb. Don’t leave anything behind, because one day the last moment can come, and when you look back, you don’t want to see what you’ve been able to do, but you’d rather let it go.
Dead Poets Society is a film directed by Peter Weir that shows an exalted affection for happiness in life, so it revolves around Carpe Diem’s motto.
Throughout the film, an attentive and passionate teacher of what he does played by Robin Williams helps a group of young people take a step into their lives, and does not allow them to be one more in the crowd, encourages them to make their lives. Special.
However, during the film, it is very clear that the famous character, the politician and the rich do not have a particular life, you have to know how to enjoy the moment, be happy and faithful to yourself and enjoy every second of life as if they were the last.
Interestingly, at this point, we can refer to another film also starring one of the Dead Poets Society’s actors, Ethan Hawke. Are we talking about Andrew Niccol’s remarkable work, Gattaca?Genetic experiment.
In this sense, the protagonist of Gattaca? Genetic Experience is a young man who dreams of going into space, but knows that he will never be able to do it, because his body was born of love and is therefore genetically imperfect, a fact that poses a major threat in the near future for which it seems that we are headed, where the survival of the fittest is imposed by science and not by nature.
Thus, the young protagonist of Gattaca has a genetically perfect brother, your health and strength are superior. However, he is not able to beat him in a swimming race, although he is the one that best suits him.
How can the lower one beat the superior? With determination, strength, will . . . Anyway, leave nothing for tomorrow and put all your passion into every action you take, that is, live every moment as if it were your last.
Thus, the term Carpe Diem must be mandatory in schools. The teaching and education of children should not be done solely through the transmission of mathematical, linguistic and scientific knowledge. We have to go further. It would be wonderful to show our children how to suck the very essence of life.
If we can create a network of freethinders, people looking for more in life than just a job, a house and a car, maybe one day we can get families to grow up with great values of respect for others, the natural environment around us, love for all that has life, solidarity , friendship and equality.
A company that puts Carpe Diem into practice is a healthy and friendly society, enjoy life, suck gasoline as long as it is beautiful and beautiful, express your feelings without fear of what others will say, be yourself at all times, ask the people you love for help.
The passage of time is fast, persevering and persistent, we cannot combat it. He will never return, yet we can make you our ally. In this sense, the phrase Carpe Diem is perfect to find in him a true friend.
Don’t let the fateful day come when you have to leave thinking that you have done nothing useful and beautiful in your life, enjoy the moment, feel every moment with passion and energy, and make your own the wonderful expression of Carpe Diem. in your hands and only you can make your life a fantastic world of happiness.
? Choose your rose buds as long as you can
The old days still fly;
And that same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow he’ll die. ?
