Presence and solace
Presence and solace
Said Nasheed
The role of the philosopher is to help you reformulate your idea in a way that serves your ability to live life; Because more important than the meaning of life is the ability to live life. Herein lies the role of the philosophers of living, those who give us lessons about the good life.
A good life is a life in which one is able to live life. Life is not slogans and fantasies of redemptive ideas and doctrines. Whenever we get rid of the magical view of the world, we realize that in every great love there is hatred that erupts from time to time, and we learn that in every great power there is fragility that may be revealed suddenly, just as history teaches us that all revolutions are betrayed in the final reckoning.
The Covid 19 pandemic made us pay attention to the value of the ordinary, simple life that we had. Quarantine forced us to lose the most important conditions of happiness that we have without paying attention to it, which is the life that we call ordinary life, with all its monotony and triviality as well. Going to work, walking down the street or in the corridor, chatting in a coffee shop, going to the market, traveling, etc.
This, for my life, is an eloquent lesson from the philosophy of living. It teaches us that it is our destiny to face disappointment and turn it into an opportunity to practice living life.
