Life&Living
A friend came to my house for coffee,
we sat and talked about life. At some point in the conversation, I said,
“I’m going to wash the dishes and I’ll be right back.”
He looked at me as if I had told him I was going to build a space rocket. Then he said to me with admiration but a little perplexed: “I’m glad you help your wife, I do not help because when I do, my wife does not praise me. Last week I washed the floor and no thanks.”
I went back to sit with him and explained that I did not “help” my wife. Actually, my wife does not need help, she needs a partner. I am a partner at home and through that society are divided functions, but it is not a “help” to do household chores.
I do not help my wife clean the house because I live here too and I need to clean it too.
I do not help my wife to cook because I also want to eat and I need to cook too.
I do not help my wife wash the dishes after eating because I also use those dishes.
I do not help my wife with her children because they are also my children and my job is to be a father.
I do not help my wife to wash, spread or fold clothes, because the clothes are also mine and my children.
I am not a help at home, I am part of the house. And as for praising, I asked my friend when it was the last time after his wife finished cleaning the house, washing clothes, changing bed sheets, bathing her children, cooking, organizing, etc. You said thank you
But a thank you of the type: Wow, sweetheart !!! You are fantastic!!!
Does that seem absurd to you? Are you looking strange? When you, once in a lifetime, cleaned the floor, you expected in the least, a prize of excellence with great glory … why? You never thought about that, my friend?
Maybe because for you, the macho culture has shown that everything is her job.
Perhaps you have been taught that all this must be done without having to move a finger? Then praise her as you wanted to be praised, in the same way, with the same intensity. Give her a hand, behave like a true companion, not as a guest who only comes to eat, sleep, bathe and satisfy needs … Feel at home. In his house.

"If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on
your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you're
already dead!"

Fear of failure
"But my lesson is
this: I don’t give a shit.
You cannot let a
fear of failure, or a fear of comparison, or a fear of judgment stop you from
doing what’s going to make you great.
You cannot
succeed without this risk of failure, you cannot have a voice without the risk
of criticism and you cannot love without the risk of loss. You must go out
and you must take these risks.
And people will tell you to do what makes you
happy but a lot of this has been hard work and I’m not always happy. And I don’t
think you should do just what makes you happy, I think you should do what makes
you great.
Do what’s
uncomfortable, and scary, and hard, but pays off in the long run. Be willing to
fail. Let yourself fail. Fail in the way and the place where you would want to
fail. Fail, pick yourself up and fail again. Because without this struggle,
what is your success anyway?
As best we know
we have one life. In it, you have to trust your own voice, your own ideas, your
honesty, your vulnerability and through this you will find your way.
You do not have
to be fearless, just don’t let fear stop you.
Live like this
as best you can and I guarantee you will look back on a life well lived."

"A szeretet nem múlhat el – megmarad. Ezért van az, hogy senkit sem
lehet megvigasztalni, ha elveszti azt, akit szeret. Minden vigasz
erőtlen és hamis. Főleg az a mondat, hogy “az idő majd begyógyítja a
sebedet”. Nem igaz. Ez nem olyan seb, ami gyógyul. A fájdalom érzése
idővel csökkenhet, de a széttépettség érzése megmarad.
Egyetlen
dolog szünteti meg a másik hiányának a fantom-fájdalmát: ha nem
szeretjük tovább. Ha elfelejtjük. Amikor azt mondjuk, hogy az “idő
gyógyít”, erre gondolunk. A felejtésre. Ez azonban – ha valóban
szeretünk – nem lehetséges.
A
szeretet hiányát csak egyetlen dolog gyógyítja: ha újra találkozunk
azzal, akit szeretünk. Semmi más. Jövőre, húsz év múlva, odaát, vagy egy
másik életben … Mindegy. A hiány mindaddig él, amíg nem látjuk újra.
Nem is az emléke, a hiánya él bennünk.”
