Mario Benedetti is one of the most widely read writers of recent times. Among his works, two profound titles that invite reflection stand out: La trugua and Buzón de tiempo. His literature is loaded with nuances that show a transcendent thought in direct contact with happiness. Therefore, today in Psychology-Online, we reflect philosophically, based on the thought of this author:
There is a message veryvitalist, positive and optimistic: "After all, death is only a symptom that there was life." While the human being, many times, lives under the power of fear of death, this message invites us to take life as the true opportunity and as the great mystery. Death falls within the rules of the game of this very magical gift that is the existence where sometimes, we are unable to give value to the things that really have it.
In the same vein, he affirms: “Five minutes are enough to dream all a lifetime, that's how relative time is ”. The truth is that although the human being has a temporal dimension, there are moments that mark you forever and unexpected moments that change your life.
Another fragment of a poem by the author entitled "Do not give up" is a clear evocation of the self-improvement: “Do not give up, because every day is a new beginning, because this is the time and the best moment". This message contains the wisdom typical of positive psychology: live in the moment, enjoy the now, focus on this moment because it is the best of your life. Stop longing for what was or idealizing what will be when right now you have the opportunity to open your senses to the world to capture all the nuances of everything around you.
Life is also literature because every day you can face the vertigo of a blank page like a writer. But uncertainty is always positive.
