“I revolt, therefore I am.” (Albert Camus)

“I revolt, therefore I am.” (Albert Camus) All of us sometimes have days when we wake up and feel cold, rude, in a way stupid, so without feelings, so disgusted with everything and everyone. But we have other days that we wake up just needing a hug, a smile that will calm us down, a company that will make our day different. As Florbela Espanca said: “I am a skeptic who believes in everything, a disillusioned person full of illusions, a revolt who accepts, smiling, all the ills of life, an indifferent one overflowing with tenderness.” But in these times we found ourselves surrounded by a certain “sense of revolt”, although we recognize its existence, both before and after this “confinement pandemic”, or with or without states of emergency, these phenomena of “revolt”, the images protests have been filling the TV news for months and months, and have been transversal, in recent years, in almost all countries of the World, as a global phenomenon that promises to be lasting. And we find ourselves in a few moments thinking that “if only these revolts, these anxieties, something that came out would be worthwhile ?. “Only a sense of invention and an intense need to create lead man to revolt, to discover and to discover himself lucidly.” (Pablo Picasso) Perhaps, that is why we can understand, however, that “feeling the revolt” is mainly a “political disorder of global disorder” in this world in which we live, but at the outset, the future seems somewhat encouraging, but after year of confinement, - with a few breaks in between, to be sure - there are those who feel nervous about getting back together more often. Some experts say it is normal, taking into account the time that you have been deprived of meetings, dinners and other gatherings, but also because of the fear of becoming infected. In fact, during times of confinement there are some variables that we can control, such as the number of people with whom we relate and the hygiene of our space. We feel that we have an active role in protecting against the disease. When we return to social life, it will cause the variable “others” to appear and it is at that moment that anxiety and nervousness can arise. We do not control the behavior of others, so we feel more vulnerable. The reality is that “deep down” we think that this “feeling of revolt expresses a certain imprecise malaise, expresses a vague but tormenting unease, even reveals some disappointed expectations. It is necessary to understand the “revolt” to be able to understand the world in which we live, as “flooding our hearts with hope”, but not letting ourselves drown in them. “The greatest glory in living is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we fall. After climbing a very high mountain, we discovered that there are many other mountains to climb ”. (Nelson Mandela)
