"It is better for us to dream our life than to live it, although to live it is also to dream. "(Proust)

"It is better for us to dream our life than to live it, although to live it is also to dream. "(Proust)

 "Learning is the only thing the mind never tires of, it never fears and never regrets." (Leonardo da Vinci)

Whether we want it or not our life has to be thought, and we must follow the direction that sends our head and not our fears. Our fears, all in one way or another, we have fears, they enslave our will to live life, they strain our whole growth as people and keep us from the paths that lead to our joy, our well-being, our our pleasure and satisfaction of living. To feel free is this, but it is not enough to say that one is free. Being a hostage of fear conditions our whole life. One day later, we look back and only then realize what has been lost. That is why we must go our own way, sometimes alone, but without fear. Someone said that "life is made of changes, so do not be afraid to reinvent yourself as often as necessary to be happy", according to the writer Paulo Coelho, "only one thing makes an impossible dream: the fear of failure", being also a truth that, without dreaming there is no life, without dreaming life does not make any sense.

 What causes us fear, most of the time, is the ignorance of things, which we call "the unknown." And if man has gone from an almost absolute phase of ignorance of what was happening in the environment in which he lived to the present phase of so-called "alternative facts," in which not everyone is fully aware that the so-called "facts alternatives, "are untruths and lies, as Fernando Pessoa has already written" there are no facts, there is only interpretation of facts. Anyone who narrates facts can only be sure that he risks making mistakes in the cases, in what he narrated, and in the way he narrates them. Whoever only interprets, dispenses one of the risks. Certain arguments are well made, because the facts are only the arguments. "But, as in everything in our life, we are now confronted with another fear: knowing how to distinguish truth from so many right and wrong ways of speaking about things.

According to the Buddhist tradition "when we learn to smile at our fears, and to be and live with our fears, we become true friends of ourselves, and then we gain the confidence to live our lives."

In today's world, we must have a clear perception that "so-called social networks" are not the means to talk to friends, because this is where the small and large disinformation centers that solely and exclusively aim to "create fear" in the citizens, undermining credibility and creating an environment for countless pseudo-verities recounted thousands of times in these social networks. It is thus, and in this way that "collective fear" is created, and however individually we may succeed in our life, it is always a determining factor in our decision making. And if it is true that there are those who can face these personal fears and move on, in general we are all fearful. And there are those who command and know this. There are those who have the power to decide in the various areas of a society (in business, in schools, in governments, and in all social life), to know that they can decide and that their decision, even wrong, will always find fear of others, because others usually refer to their personal comfort of not wanting to show "no fear"! Seneca has already said, "true happiness is to enjoy the present". This phrase reminds us of the fear of tomorrow. If we are constantly worried about what will happen in the future, it is very likely that "terror and fear" will take over our minds! And, always remember that "the value of things is not in the time they last, but in the intensity with which they occur. That's why there are unforgettable moments, unexplained things and incomparable people. " (Fernando Pessoa). Now I will follow my own philosophy of life: "The future belongs to people who believe in the beauty of dreams, so I will not let the fear of making mistakes prevent me from dreaming." (Anonymous)
