The soul, if it does not abandon the body and soul, dries, there is no need to offer itself with reservations and unhook, because life is tasted in its entirety, with kisses, bites and all laughter, with the passion of the brave. who know that only hugs recompose broken spaces, and that neither years nor time end our own minds.
There is a curious Celtic legend of the fourteenth century that gives us a very symbolic image of all this, in this culture there is a “white mare” that supposedly inhabits our dream world, feeds on the fears, our nightmares and the souls of sad people Take it one by one to insert them into cracks in rocks or ceiling holes.
- “The soul is placed on the body like a rough diamond and must be polished.
- Otherwise the brightness will never appear.
- -Daniel Defoe-.
Letting sadness or discouragement take root in our own being is much more than a curse, so understood at the time the old folklore of our peoples, as well as the current psychology, are many causes that make this twilight state take it to us, Our mind, our will, our passion?However, we must be able to provide a new dawn. A new cycle.
Far from further intensifying this state until it is overcome by the white mare on which the rider of depression rides, we need to get out of the hollows of our roofs, from those solitary spaces in order to embrace the sea again. life and opportunities.
Byung-Chul is a Korean philosopher based in Germany whose books have already become a reference. Through one of his titles, “The Society of Tiredness”, he speaks of a known reality. Today, the human being has a voracious and relentless enemy: himself and his inability to truly love others.
According to this interesting author, the mistake is in our own meaningless narcissism. Currently, the SER no longer matters, the only thing that gives value to being is the OPINION, to show yourself. That’s why the power of advertising, social media, fashion, inhabited by the bitter abyss of lies?Gradually we forget one fundamental thing: to value the existence of the other. We must learn to recognize ourselves through the love we give to others, through friendship, humility, or even altruism.
The tired soul is the reflection of an erratic heart, a compass without north or a train without passengers, something is missing, lack of passion and courage to offer you the opportunity to love fully, one thing we saw, for example, In the film?The melancholy?of Lars von Trier, when we met Justine, this depressed and incapable of loving character who reacts only when one planet is about to destroy Earth, that’s when he discovered the existence of the other.
Maybe a lot of us felt that way. Asleep, listless, sick with moodiness and no mood to love from the bottom of the soul, it can be by disappointment, past failure or even that kind of Aneninal life that characterizes many people, falling into this emotional entropy is dangerous. It is to initiate a landslide of life and a renunciation, is to start the days of our own calendar.
“Nothing great has been done in this world without great passion. -Friedrich Hegel-
Passion is the only thing that can save us, is this fuel of will, this essence of daily commitment to make everything more meaningful and important, because putting music in the scores of our life is something that can be achieved if we start from the simplest and most basic things.
Let’s see this better below
Passion needs fuel to grow. We must be able to find a reason, something that fills us with hope, identifies us and involves us, one way to achieve this is to be infected by the vital energy of others: to share the same leisure, the same spaces and the same project.
“Cowardice ages us more than time; the years wrinkle the skin, but fear wrinkles the soul. Facundo goat?
Abraham Maslow defined in his pyramid of needs a term not to be forgotten: self-realization. When we manage to cover all the above dimensions related to physiology, safety or recognition, this summit reaches where it is necessary to be able to “transcend”. “.
I mean this personal and emotional growth where our efforts must go beyond the ego, this creative potential can only be realized by choosing passion over fear, the rumor of life and love before these holes where the white mare of our fears takes us.
