The Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius wrote, “The art of living is more similar to a fight than to a dance”. Is it really so? It seems it is, according to what we see around us and even inside of us. But… what does “the art of living” mean? It means “to live well”. To live well does not mean to live your life without problems, in a kind of ever-lasting limbo. This would be a rather empty and dull life, wouldn’t it? What makes your life worth living is the fact that it is always new. This implies a continuous confrontation with yourself and with others. It is creativity and awareness.
