Interesting People

     

*****************************************************************


And what if I told you that I'm scared of being "happily ever after" happy??says Mercedes to her psychologist in the play "Diva";it's a question that comes back to what was discussed days ago on a TV show. The analyst Contardo Calligaris said that being happy is not that important, it is more worth it to have a interesting life.Since some people have demonstrated certain discomfort with this quote, I think it is worth a little diving in the subject.
    "Be happy", in the context in which it was exposed, means compliance with the traditional goals: have a good job, earn some money, be married and have kids.This brings us happiness? Of course it brings. Knowing that "we got there" is always a source of peace and security. We were able to fit in, as was expected. Live as the book. A delicious bread-and-butter.So,what about our  other ambitions??what should we do with them?That explains why not coincidentally the biography of Danuza Leão became a hit! There it was a story of a woman who didnt chase a happy life, but a life intense, with prices to pay for it. Most people read this kind of story as if it were fiction.Once upon a time,there was a charming woman who was an international model, married respected journalists, was friends with intellectuals, lived in Rio de Janeiro nightlife, and for all that,got lucky enough to live an interesting life. got lucky?Some, but nothing would have happened if she haven't balls to do what she wanted. 
      People with interesting lives have open minded,They move out to a new city. Invest in projects without warranty. They care for people who are the opposite of them. Resign without another job in sight. Accept an invitation to do what was never made​​. Are willing to change their favorite color, favorite dish. Start from scratch several times. They are not scared off by the passage of time. Go up on stage,get a new hair cut,do crazy things for love, buy one-way ticket.For labelers on duty, a bunch of inconsequential. Or artists, which is the same thing. Having an interesting life is not the prerogative of a class. It is accessible to doctors, housewives, telemarketers, teachers.
     People who assimilated well the rules of the game (work, get married, have children, die and go to heaven), but, like Groucho Marx, distrusts the clubs who accept you as a partner,i ask you now what is the relevance of what is asked in a registration form, on a register to evaluate who we are? Name, address, marital status, etc. Approved.
          Welcome to the happy world.
 An interesting life is less bureaucratic, but requires much more.
