Zeigt Titel in Freundschaft

"La ricerca di Armonia nelle Relazioni" è il titolo di un audiolibro proposto dal Centro Studi Bhaktivedanta e tratto da una conferenza tenuta da Marco Ferrini, esperto di cultura vedica e direttore del Centro. Le relazioni affettive rappresentano il patrimonio più grande di ogni individuo perché gli consentono di dare e ricevere amore, che è necessità intrinseca della natura umana, e possono essere fonte della più grande gioia, anche se spesso sono fonte di grande sofferenza.

Virtù significa talento, bravura, eccellenza, maestria, perfezione. La virtù è una componente dell'amicizia, e quest'ultima della felicità. La felicità facilita la risoluzione di ogni problema. La pratica della virtù serve a perfezionare l'essere umano, renderlo gradevole a se stesso e agli altri, e perciò ad avvicinarlo alla felicità e all'amore. Infatti, la negligenza, quale opposto atteggiamento rispetto alla virtù, è concausa d'isolamento e solitudine.

Se vogliamo relazioni evolutive, appaganti e durature, che non lascino cicatrici emotive di sofferenza in noi e negli altri, occorre diventare capaci di gestire in maniera equilibrata la propria affettività. Quanti cosiddetti sacrifici le persone fanno inutilmente: sforzi ciechi, passionali, compiuti sull'impeto di attrazioni fatali per poi infine scoprire che quello che rincorrevano non era né quello che cercavano, né quello che intimamente volevano.

"L'Uomo è un animale sociale", afferma Aristotele. Eppure la libertà individuale sembra cozzare con le esigenze della convivenza. Solitudine e libertà: è possibile che questi due termini costituiscano un sodalizio? Vediamo che lo stato, espressione emblematica della comunità, tradisce la propria essenza quando decide di imporre se stesso ai membri che lo costituiscono (lo stato totalitario).

"Come riconoscere il vero amore" è il titolo di un audiolibro proposto dal Centro Studi Bhaktivedanta e tratto da una conferenza tenuta da Marco Ferrini, esperto di cultura vedica e direttore del Centro. Questo ascolto ci aiuta a comprendere le più basilari e importanti caratteristiche che possono permetterci di distinguere l'amore vero dalle sue contraffazioni. L'amore è fondato primariamente sul perdono. Chi non è capace di perdonare, non è capace nemmeno di amare.

Quante volte siamo stati portatori di un messaggio d'amore esente da altri interessi se non l'amore stesso, senza motivazioni egoistiche? Il "dare" per essere realmente tale dovrebbe essere privo di aspettative. Si riesce infatti ad amare in profondità, quando non si hanno attaccamenti. L'amore non è volontà di possesso, né paura di perdere ciò che ci gratifica. Amare significa dare amore senza pretese, per la gioia di amare ogni creatura. Dunque, se non siamo liberi (dagli attaccamenti dell'ego) non possiamo imparare ad amare, perché amore e libertà vanno di pari passo.

Ci sono senza dubbio affinità karmiche che determinano le relazioni tra persone, ma non è detto che queste siano di per sé sempre positive. A volte le affinità karmiche che fanno stare assieme le persone vanno ad incentivare il negativo presente in ciascuno. Meglio a volte una sana complementarietà che integra e colma le carenze reciproche, che una stessa identità di carattere, percezione e attitudine che enfatizza i reciproci difetti. Come fare a distinguere le affinità karmiche dalle affinità elettive?

La reflexión ciceroniana sobre la amistad se constituye como uno de los grandes referentes que vinculan la virtud cívica y los intereses personales de realización del ser humano en la comunidad. Recuperar el sentido de verdad, siguiendo el modelo estético de la amicitia que propone Cicerón implica dimensionar en su forma más trascendente la disposición humana de la comprensión hermenéutica y la empatía con el semejante.

Friendship is one of the most important yet most underrated necessities of life. A sense of connection and belonging is a key part of being human, and there are boundless benefits from having close friends who know everything about you, can help you out in a pinch, can be there with you through all the joys and hardships of life, and for whom you can be such a friend in turn. But making and keeping friends becomes increasingly difficult when we become adults with busy careers, family responsibilities, and dispersed locations.

In the vein of Hold Me Tight and The Body Keeps the Score, this paradigm-shifting book on apologies shows how they work, why they're so hard and why they are essential for rebuilding relationships.

It may be surprising, but the breaches themselves aren't the real problem; our inability to fix them is what causes us trouble.
