When
let's think about the vulnerability DON'T
we can avoid associating this concept with anything negative. It's a
perfectly logical tendency if we consider the Latin etymological root of
this term: (vulnus) wound and (abilis) possibility. That is; there
possibility of being injured. However, what would happen if we just linger
on a part of the meaning? What a mental association the word inspires in us possibility? Definitely positive.
All right.
The fact that we are vulnerable people is not as bad as you might think,
but it also has several positive aspects. In the first place it is proven
scientifically that people who contract contagious diseases (such as
STDs) are those who feel least vulnerable. This is explained
as a consequence of the limited perception of our vulnerability that
it makes us engage in risky behaviors. On the contrary, if we are aware that
we are as likely as any other person to be infected,
we will probably take all necessary precautions to protect ourselves. A
popular saying states that “there
we realize what we have until we lose it ”and the
vulnerability would come to be a feeling that allows us to appreciate
the "here and now", which is really all we own. That is; to be
being aware of being vulnerable is (regardless of what you are to
refers) something that helps us to value our present much more
and allows us to fully live every moment. If we accept to be
vulnerable people (and we are, so much so that we would go crazy if we just considered
really even a small fraction of the risks to which we are each exposed
day) we may learn that "here and now" is all we really need
to be happy. Nello
in the same way, vulnerability, more than a state of mind to hide from the front
to a society that over the centuries has instilled in us the idea that we must be strong
and not showing our weaknesses, it could turn into a feeling that
it unites us as human beings. Indeed, it is well known that within companies
in which people show themselves more vulnerable there is a greater degree of
social cohesion, as all members are aware that they need one
of the other. Thus, vulnerability is not a condition that must be hidden,
rather, that it can help us to connect with others.
A
sometimes we allow ourselves to be exaggeratedly influenced by the thought it has transmitted to us
the society in which we live. So much so that we often don't even ask ourselves
if there is a different way of understanding the phenomena that surround us.
We just accept them as they are. However, the range of potential
it is infinite, and it is up to us to choose one perspective or the other.
