How
bad we want it
Greta Thunberg is really
touching at the point of how bad we want it. More of one third of the population is
confined. How bad we want it to
control the epidemic.
"Though it must be in a different way to
how we have acted in this case, we can act fast and change our habits and treat
a crisis like a crisis."
How bad we want it to win in
triathlon. How bad we want to control
global warming. Boris Johnson, Trump and
our president denied the pandemic until lately, pressured by the virus’
consequences. In our previous post we
mentioned that Irvin Yalom learned empathy pressured by an angry father who
confronted him when he was twelve.
The difference between the
winner and the loser in triathlon has to do with the ability to learn because
we want
it bad. How bad you want to
learn in order to perform is the key.
Overcoming handicaps culturally, handicaps in the family and handicaps
individually, regarding education is what somebody in the third world
country needs to do. Do not wait for the
coronavirus to come or being confronted by life in a similar way; it is too
late by then. And sadly, even then, one’s
chances of learning depend on how much one has already learned to grasp the situation. Sometimes we are already dead before realizing
that we lost a chance in life.
I had a patient who died
from cancer, who used to say to his teenage son: “Do I have to die in order for
you to understand life.”
