“Before, all paths led. Now all paths come.” (Mário Qjuintana)

“Before, all paths led. Now all paths come.” (Mário Qjuintana) There are those who say that we are a product of our thoughts and that we become what we think. On the other hand, there are also those who say that our biggest illusion is believing that we are what we think we are. As Sigmund Freud said: “We are not just what we think we are. We are more: we are also what we remember and what we forget; We are the words we exchange, the mistakes we make, the impulses to which we 'unintentionally' give in.” Anyone who has never fallen doesn't really understand the effort it takes to stay upright. Furthermore, the dignity of the human person is a value that assists all people equally, as we have already seen, simply because they are. However, if there are people who are very different from each other, from countless points of view, from a merely descriptive perspective, it will be inescapable to establish differences between them. On the other hand, throughout life, each person is faced with very different situations, more or less difficult, resulting, for example, from age, illness, suffering and, consequently, the way in which they view their life and others stare at her. As the Greek philosopher Plato said: “We must learn throughout our lives, without imagining that wisdom comes with old age.” In these times we are going through, we have to fight a “ghost of disenchantment” is not an easy task, but it is a battle worth fighting. You need to cultivate faith in the future, find meaning in the little things, nurture relationships, and constantly seek new challenges and opportunities. We cannot allow the “ghost of disenchantment” to imprison us in its icy embrace. We must resist, fight and persevere, because it is only by facing our fears and uncertainties that we can truly discover what it means to be alive. As Carl Jung said: “Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of others. Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but when touching a human soul, be just another human soul.” In reality, we are what we feel, what we believe we are, what we live and what we think. We are what we are, what we can be. We are what we are, nothing more. Life is a set of duties that we brought to do at home. When you see it, it's already 6pm: there's time... When you see it, it's already Friday... When you see, 70 years have passed! Now, it's too late to fail... And if I were given – one day – another opportunity, I wouldn’t even look at the clock He always moved forward… And he would throw the golden and useless shell of the hours along the way” (Mário Quintana)
