Blaise Pascal<\/strong><\/p>\n

(1620-1662)<\/p>\n

“A-i spune unui om s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 \u00een pace \u00eenseamn\u0103 a-i spune s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 fericit; \u00eenseamn\u0103 a-l sf\u0103tui s\u0103-\u015fi creeze o stare de tihn\u0103 care i-ar \u00eeng\u0103dui s\u0103 g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103 \u00een voie, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 vreun motiv de sup\u0103rare; \u00eenseamn\u0103 a-l sf\u0103tui\u2026 Dar acest lucru ar mai \u00eensemna s\u0103 nu-i \u00een\u0163elegem deloc natura.<\/p>\n

Astfel, oamenii care-\u015fi cunosc \u00een mod firesc starea nu evit\u0103 nimic mai mult dec\u00e2t tihna; nu ocolesc nimic c\u00e2nd este vorba s\u0103 caute emo\u0163iile. \u015ei asta nu pentru c\u0103 n-ar avea instinctul care i-ar putea face s\u0103 cunoasc\u0103 adev\u0103rata beatitudine\u2026 De\u015fert\u0103ciunea, pl\u0103cerea de a se ar\u0103ta celorlal\u0163i.<\/p>\n

\u015ei astfel c\u00e2nd li se aminte\u015fte c\u0103 ceea ce caut\u0103 cu at\u00e2ta ardoare nu i-ar putea mul\u0163umi, dac\u0103 ar r\u0103spunde, cum ar trebui s-o fac\u0103, dac\u0103 ar g\u00e2ndi profund, c\u0103 nu caut\u0103 dec\u00e2t o ocupa\u0163ie violent\u0103 \u015fi \u00eemp\u0103timit\u0103 care s\u0103-i distrag\u0103 de la a se g\u00e2ndi la ei \u00een\u015fi\u015fi \u015fi c\u0103 de aceea \u00ee\u015fi propun un scop atr\u0103g\u0103tor care s\u0103-i vr\u0103jeasc\u0103 \u015fi s\u0103-i pasioneze, ei \u015fi-ar l\u0103sa adversarii f\u0103r\u0103 replic\u0103; dar nu r\u0103spund astfel pentru c\u0103 nu se cunosc pe ei \u00een\u015fi\u015fi. Ei nu \u015ftiu c\u0103 ceea ce caut\u0103 este v\u00e2n\u0103toarea, nu prada.<\/p>\n

Ei \u00ee\u015fi imagineaz\u0103 c\u0103, dac\u0103 ar ob\u0163ine cutare slujb\u0103, se vor odihni la urm\u0103 cu pl\u0103cere \u015fi nu simt natura nes\u0103tul\u0103 a l\u0103comiei lor. Ei cred sincer c\u0103 odihna este ceea ce caut\u0103, dar ei nu caut\u0103 dec\u00e2t tumultul.<\/p>\n

Ei au un instinct secret care-i \u00eendeamn\u0103 s\u0103 caute distrac\u0163ia \u015fi ocupa\u0163iile \u00een afara casei lor, instinct n\u0103scut din resentimentul nesf\u00e2r\u015fitei lor abjec\u0163ii; dar ei mai au un instinct secret, p\u0103strat din m\u0103re\u0163ia primei lor naturi \u015fi care-i \u00eenva\u0163\u0103 c\u0103 fericirea nu se afl\u0103 dec\u00e2t \u00een repaus \u015fi nu \u00een tumult; din aceste dou\u0103 instincte contrarii, \u00eenl\u0103untrul lor se contureaz\u0103 un proiect, ascuns \u00een ad\u00e2ncul sufletului lor, care-i \u00eendeamn\u0103 s\u0103-\u015fi caute odihna \u00een mi\u015fcare \u015fi s\u0103-\u015fi \u00eenchipuie c\u0103 vor dob\u00e2ndi fericirea pe care n-o g\u0103sesc, ating\u00e2nd limanul odihnei, numai \u00eenving\u00e2nd obstacolele pe care \u015fi le propun.<\/p>\n

A\u015fa ne trece via\u0163a. C\u0103ut\u0103m tihna, lupt\u00e2nd \u00eempotriva piedicilor, iar dac\u0103 le-a dep\u0103\u015fit, lini\u015ftea devine nesuferit\u0103; c\u0103ci atunci, ori ne g\u00e2ndim la tic\u0103lo\u015fia \u00een care ne afl\u0103m, ori la cea care ne amenin\u0163\u0103. \u015ei chiar dac\u0103 am fi la ad\u0103post din toate p\u0103r\u0163ile, plictisul, cu autoritatea lui caracteristic\u0103, izvor\u00e2t din ad\u00e2ncul inimii, unde-\u015fi are r\u0103d\u0103cinile fire\u015fti, ne va umple spiritul de venin.<\/p>\n

Astfel, omul e at\u00e2t de nefericit c\u0103 el s-ar plictisi chiar \u015fi f\u0103r\u0103 nici un motiv, prin starea natural\u0103 a alc\u0103tuirii lui, \u015fi e at\u00e2t de vanitos, av\u00e2nd o mie de motive de plictis, c\u0103 un fleac, cum ar fi biliardul sau b\u0103tutul mingii, ar fi de ajuns s\u0103-l distreze.<\/p>\n

\u2026
\nOamenii sunt \u00eenc\u0103rca\u0163i \u00eenc\u0103 din copil\u0103rie cu grija onorurilor, a bunurilor, a prietenilor \u015fi chiar cu bunurile \u015fi cu onoarea prietenilor. Sunt cople\u015fi\u0163i de treburi, s\u0103 \u00eenve\u0163e limbi, s\u0103 fac\u0103 exerci\u0163ii; sunt f\u0103cu\u0163i s\u0103 \u00een\u0163eleag\u0103 c\u0103 nu vor fi ferici\u0163i dac\u0103 s\u0103n\u0103tatea, onoarea \u015fi averea lor \u015fi aceea a prietenilor nu va fi \u00een bun\u0103stare; destul un singur lucru s\u0103 lipseasc\u0103 \u015fi nefericirea e gata. Li se dau astfel sarcini \u015fi treburi care-i h\u0103r\u0163uiesc din zori. \u2013 Iat\u0103, ve\u0163i spune, o ciudat\u0103 manier\u0103 de a-i face ferici\u0163i! Ce s-ar putea g\u0103si mai mult pentru a-i face neferici\u0163i! Cum adic\u0103, ce s-ar putea g\u0103si? N-ar trebui dec\u00e2t s\u0103 li se ia toate grijile; atunci ei s-ar vedea pe ei, s-ar g\u00e2ndi la ceea ce sunt, de unde vin, \u00eencotro se \u00eendreapt\u0103: a\u015fa se face c\u0103 ei sunt mereu ocupa\u0163i \u015fi \u00eendep\u0103rta\u0163i de aceste g\u00e2nduri. \u015ei, dac\u0103 dup\u0103 ce lis-au preg\u0103tit at\u00e2tea ocupa\u0163ii, tot le mai r\u0103m\u00e2ne un r\u0103gaz, sunt sf\u0103tui\u0163i s\u0103 se distreze, s\u0103 se joace, pentru a fi ocupa\u0163i.<\/p>\n

C\u00e2t de goal\u0103 \u015fi plin\u0103 de m\u00e2r\u015f\u0103vii este inima omului!<\/p>\n

\u2026
\nSuntem at\u00e2t de neferici\u0163i \u00eenc\u00e2t nu ne putem bucura de nici un lucru dec\u00e2t cu condi\u0163ia s\u0103 ne sup\u0103r\u0103m dac\u0103 el nu reu\u015fe\u015fte; ceea ce s-ar putea \u00eent\u00e2mpla, \u015fi se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 \u00een fiecare clip\u0103. Cine va g\u0103si secretul de a se bucura de un bine f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se supere de contrariul lui va g\u0103si dezlegarea: aceasta este mi\u015fcarea perpetu\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u2026
\nC\u00e2nd un discurs firesc zugr\u0103ve\u015fte o pasiune sau un efect, descoperim \u015fi \u00een noi \u00een\u015fine adev\u0103rul pe care \u00eel auzim, dar, ne\u015ftiind c\u0103 el se afl\u0103 acolo, suntem gata s\u0103-l iubim pe cel care ne-a f\u0103cut s\u0103-l sim\u0163im; c\u0103ci nu dintre-ale lui ni-l \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u015fe\u015fte, ci dintre-ale noastre. Binele pe care ni-l face ne \u00eendeamn\u0103 s\u0103-l iubim, \u00een afar\u0103 de faptul c\u0103 inima este \u00eenclinat\u0103 s\u0103-l \u00eendr\u0103geasc\u0103 tocmai pentru aceast\u0103 comuniune a \u00een\u0163elegerii.”<\/p>\n
