“The only certainty is that I doubt it! And if I doubt it, I think, and if I think right away I exist.
”(René Descartes) Times have changed, every time I meet a young man, who seems to me to be familiar, I no longer ask him whose son he is, but whose grandson he is? These are times that are not "our times", among other changes, a new type of silence has settled in our daily lives. We all feel that even the air looks cleaner! The birds, who prefer quietness, venture further into places they had never met before. It even gives us the impression that, more or less, this “happens to everyone” - because it does and there is no escape from our inexorable languishing - is that a certain tiredness descends on people who report vivid dreams. Others struggle to sleep. As Paulo Coelho said, “The world is in the hands of those who have the courage to dream and take the risk of living their dreams.” This sudden change weighs on all of us and our minds are already fumbling, revolving around our new reality with the heavy slowness of a cruise ship. Perhaps this is why "we look at ships", when you wait a lot for something, but then something happens to the contrary. It is legitimate, albeit wrong, to think that there will certainly be things that seem less, shall we say, institutionally boring and not so worthy of people's mental health. And that is perhaps why we must keep these Buddha's teachings in mind. ” The secret of mental and bodily health is not to mourn the past, not to worry about the future, nor to get ahead of problems, but to live knowingly and seriously the present. ” In this new reality, we have to “give a helping hand” because our lives are short, and in view of the various studies that have shown that, over the course of a year of confinement, people's mental health has been seriously impaired throughout the world . “A dream dreamed alone is a dream. A dream dreamed together is reality. We will strongly hope that one day we will be able to say that we are cured, and that, by curing ourselves, we will have cured the world. ”(Yoko Ono) Today, in our understanding, there are only three possible endings to this whole story : a new wave or another pandemic outbreak, the containment of it or even its elimination. But, on second thought, if the first happens, it will be terrible. The latter was very good, considering all things. None of them is guaranteed? Perhaps the time has come to "see things in pink", this is a way of looking at the world from a point of view, which some consider unduly cheerful, in the optimistic or favorable sense in the hope of better days. ” Hope is the dream of the waking man. Culture is the best comfort for old age. The wise man never says everything he thinks, but he always thinks everything he says. ”(Aristotle)
