AskPolly: 'How can I get back some of that joie de vivre I used to have, in spite of the darker life and global events threatening to bring me back to my senses?'
I love your column and your book, How to Be a Person in the World. I’m not the best at putting what’s in my heart into words, but I’ve been feeling something bubbling up inside me and I hope you can give me some advice.
I guess my question is, how can I get back some of that joie de vivre I used to have, in spite of the darker life and global events threatening to bring me back to my senses?Joie de vivre is a strange thing.
The only real way I know to wriggle free of these sorts of expectations is by working through them slowly, all by myself and also in the company of others. Anything that excites and delights and saddens and confuses you can turn into a kind of weight on your back if you let it. Anything that thrills you one day can incite shame the next day, if you let it.
My personal feeling is that we have a clear moral obligation to save our fucking planet. We are all fucked if we don’t try with all our might to do that.
When you embrace the light, a shadow appears. That’s just how it works. You have to forgive yourself every day, every hour, every minute, for being a mortal human who does not stride above the human condition like a demigod.
