Good question about ...

What is life? Question that every adult should ask himself after the age of 60. Many authors have given their own version of life.

Answers expressed, by the various authors, who surely respond to their own experiences, as it should be.

Theorizing about life is useless, if we do not start from ourselves. We don't really know the others, but we can know their external, social, anecdotal part, but the deep and authentic being either escapes us.

With a lot of effort, humility, lucidity, and self-criticism we can try to get to know ourselves beyond self-deception and the various masks of daily life. Hopefully we can get to know someone else our "otherness". As the poet Antonio Machado says, "There is no path for a walker, one makes a path by walking" and one does it blow by blow.

Have you noticed that many times you don't decide for yourself?

Making decisions and fulfilling old orders disguised as "this is the right thing to do" and you believed it. Because you follow mandates, beliefs, paths that someone else chose for you, as if they were your own.

From my vision I see it clearly because when it is repeated without questioning not being choosing, you are obeying and obeying without conscience disconnects you. Do you know why? Because it makes you feel that you are fulfilling life, but that you are not living it, many times you are not making decisions, you are just fulfilling old orders disguised as "responsibility", as "must be". And that certainly exhausts. It makes you a distant version of yourself.

It is really important to understand that no one can live like this.you can wake up, you can inherit, the learned, the imposed.

Today he asked me, is this what I want or is it that someone else wanted this for me? And consequently it's up to me to make new decisions, from my desire, my voice, my story.

We all have the right to live in peace, and to reject those who want to eradicate that right in us.

Sometimes, he questioned me if I should write in a lectionary way or in an inspiring way because sometimes I love poetry so that people interpret the form at their level, at their cadence, at their time, or at their rhythm, but I have a desire for silence that is indescribable.

As Socrates said, life is a test. Although I also agree with Kafka life is just the beginning. Or as Aristotle says there are minutes, in short so many talking from his own personal experience about what life is considering these three emotional elements that we must cultivate in ourselves: tolerance to frustration, resistance in our character and strength in our mood.

We all have the right to live in peace, and to reject those who want to eradicate that right in us.

Curiosity about life robs me of sleep sometimes.

What is clear to me is that the life I dream of will not come for me, I have to build it according to my experiences and experiences. Having said that, life for me starts above everything that has my name "Janitze*.
