RE: The Power of Resilience (English subtitles)
You're welcome, my friend. Thanks for your appreciation; that little film house was one of the most important steps in my career, about a decade ago. Later I found the call of my heart, and I hope that, despite the terrible present conditions, I will be producing similar interesting things, in the fields of arts, psychology and philosophy.
Oh yes, that ability develops on the fact that we, humans, get accustomed even to the worst things. We can see other's live as a kind of terror movie, but from the eyes of that person, it's just his daily live... with sad and deplorable conditions, but we do just what we can do.
At first, the bad things can cause a shock, but later you get used to them and try to live better, to overcome or to set some kind of stability... if possible.
But this ability doesn't imply the power to solve the core human problems of evil and oppression, my dear friend. That's why we keep suffering all these tragedies, all this madness... and (sorry for my pessimism, that I call realism), as Kapuscinski, I must say that humanity will keep suffering this forever. This is what we are: light and shadows.
Resilience is the power to navigate in this big sea of madness, pain (and wisdom) until that moment when the waves will take us to the depths again.
