Realmente podemos crear nuestra propia vida???
Hay varios aspectos de la vida cotidiana que me interesan y me inquietan...Pensamientos sencillos que se van complejizando hasta volverse una masa incontrolable a la que finalmente no se le encuentra una respuesta satisfactoria... Ahora, creo absolutamente necesario, desde mi proceso personal, compartirles ciertas hipotesis que entraron a mi cabeza desde hace unos dias gracias a "Waking Life", una pelicula que se estreno en el 2001... para aquellos que la hayan visto, saben de lo que hablo, y aquellos que no, les mando un post sobre lo que quiero discutir semanalmente, si podemos encontrar la oportunidad de incluirlo con lo que estamos trabajando... Espero que les guste...
"Your life is yours to create"
A professor is speaking to the class
Professor: The reason why I refuse to take existentialism as just another French fasion, or historical curiosity, is that I think it has something very important to offer us for the new century. I'm afraid we're losing the real virtues of living life passionately, in the sense of taking responsibility for who you are, the ability to make something of yourself and feeling good about life. Existentialism is often discussed as if it's a philosophy of dispair, but I think the truth is just the opposite. Sartre [an existentialist philosopher] once interviewed said he never really felt a day of dispair in his life. The one thing that comes out from reading these guys is not a sense of anguish about life, so much as a real kind of exuberance, of feeling on top of it. It's like, your life is yours to create.
The professor is walking with Wiley and talking to him
Professor: I've read the post-modernists with some interest, even admiration. But, when I read them I always have this awful, nagging feeling like something absolutely essential is being left out. The more that you talk about a person as a social construction, or as a confluence of forces, or as fragmented or marginalized, what you do is you open up a whole new world of excuses. When Sartre talks about responsibility, he's not talking about something abstract. He's not talking about the kind of self or soul that theologians would argue about. It's something very concrete; It's you and me talking, making decisions, doing things and taking the consequences.It might be true that there are 6 billion people in the world and counting. Nevertheless, what you do makes a difference. It makes a difference first of all in material terms; It makes a difference to other people; And, it sets an example. In short, I think the message here is that we should never simply write ourselves off and see ourselves as a victim of various forces. It's always our decision who we are.
Para completar un poco este punto de vista, miren a Chekhov, especialmente un cuanto titulado "Ward 6". Creo firmemente que nuestr crecimiento personal es influenciado por las cosas que nos rodean y la manera en que estos hechos nos afectan hasta el punto de olvidar lo que realmente queremos ser o hacer... Este objeto de deseo propio, es camuflado por lo que creemos desde el punto de los paradigmas creados por la sociedad... Desde una forma intima, podriamos dehacernos de lo que es adquirido por absorcion y encontrar lo que hace parte de nuestro ser puro? Me gustaria saber que dice Freud al respecto...
El hecho de hablar de libre decision para lograr lo que queremos hacer, nos remite tambien a una paradoja religiosa... el libre albedrio... Ahi tienen unas cositas para pensar, luego les mando mas especificaciones.
