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 also 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. What makes our lives worth living is the fact that they are (or can be) always new. This implies a continuous confrontation with ourselves and with others. It is creativity and awareness.
