Resilience


One of the most striking flaws in our way of thinking is to overestimate our vulnerability
To assume that life will be impossible and harder than it actually is. Imagine
That we will not be able to live without a certain amount of income, social status or health. And that
It will be a huge disaster if we do not have a specific type of relationship, house or job. This tendency of thinking
They are constantly encouraged in our material society, which affects our sense
The number of things that should be considered as necessities rather than luxuries. This type
Of societies are making extraordinary efforts to feel that we really need them
To a ski trip every year, to warm car seats, until we ride in first class seats, until we have the same
The quality of the watch worn by a famous orchestra leader, until we have a huge refrigerator, until we have many friends,
To have an ideal body and a relationship full of love and sexually saturated. But in fact
Our basic needs are much simpler than this. We can actually live well enough with far less of these things.
Not only in terms of property, but from every aspect of our lives. Not because it is
We must want it, but simply because we can. We can adapt well to our universe
Poor, with our being unpopular, not living for long, and being alone.
We can even, in the extreme examples, adapt to our being dead, this is happening constantly.
But we forget our flexibility in the face of the dangers we face. Cumulative effect
The result of our innocence makes us hesitant. In our lives we fear the loss, or lack of it
Get, things we can actually live without. The Roman philosopher
Senka was fortunate enough to manage what we call today an “investment capital company”.
He owned many beautiful villas and luxurious furnishings. But he made one of his habits that
He sleeps on the earth outside and eats dry bread and drinks lukewarm water.
He reminded himself that it would not be very bad if he lost almost everything someday
In order to free himself from the fears of possible calamities. This realization gave him great confidence in himself.
He did not worry much about what might happen if a deal failed, because it was
In the worst case he will return to sleep on the kitchen floor next to the dog basket,
Which was – in the end – quite a bit. Senka was taking an important step. Through
Continue to renew our relationship with our flexibility, in addition to our ability to
(If we get out of our work, or if we leave our partner, or if it happens)
Scandal may destroy our social life, or disease) – we can be more courageous because we know that the risks
Which we face is not as great as our imagination imagines. In the ideal world,
Our culture must stop telling us stories from “poverty to wealth”. Instead
Will do something more good, and at the same time more effective deployment
The bold entrepreneurial optimism that our [societies] are currently trying to strengthen, but in a bad way. If we have to culture
To provide us with enchanting and non-tragic stories about people who turn from rich to poverty,
Stories whose owners lost their money, their life partners, and their social status, but in the end they adapted
Good with their new lives. We may see them move from their luxury homes to a small house
Modest while enjoying a pleasant time by taking care of a flower basin and discovering
Food Cans. Our culture does not have to encourage these scenarios, but only to try to free ourselves
From the grip of deep and misplaced fears, fears often prevent us from trying and succeeding.
