\"Solitudine<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

______________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 alcuna vita \u00e8 mai sazia di vivere in alcun presente,\u00a0che tanto \u00e8 vita, quanto si continua, e si continua nel futuro,\u00a0quanto manca del vivere. Che se si possedesse ora\u00a0qui tutta e di niente mancasse, se niente l\u2019aspettasse nel\u00a0futuro, non si continuerebbe: cesserebbe d\u2019esser vita.\u00a0Tante cose ci attirano nel futuro, ma nel presente invano\u00a0vogliamo possederle. (…)<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 se l\u2019uomo cerchi rifugio presso alla persona ch\u2019egli\u00a0ama \u2013 egli potr\u00e0 saziar la sua fame: non baci, non amplessi\u00a0o quante altre dimostrazioni l\u2019amore inventi li potranno\u00a0compenetrare l\u2019uno dell\u2019altro: ma saranno sempre\u00a0due, e ognuno solo \u00e8 diverso di fronte all\u2019altro. \u2013 \u00a0Gli uomini lamentano questa loro solitudine, ma se\u00a0essa \u00e8 loro lamentevole \u2013 \u00e8 perch\u00e9, essendo con se stessi,\u00a0si sentono soli: si sentono con nessuno e mancano di\u00a0tutto.\u00a0Colui che \u00e8 per s\u00e9 stesso non ha bisogno d\u2019altra\u00a0cosa che sia per lui nel futuro, ma possiede\u00a0tutto in s\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u201cNon avr\u00e0 loco fu sar\u00e0 n\u00e9 era\u00a0ma \u00e8 solo, in presente e ora e oggi\u00a0e sola eternit\u00e0 raccolta e \u2018ntera\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ma l\u2019uomo vuole dalle altre cose nel tempo futuro\u00a0quello che in s\u00e9 gli manca: il possesso di s\u00e9 stesso: ma\u00a0quanto vuole e tanto occupato dal futuro sfugge a s\u00e9\u00a0stesso in ogni presente<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nor is any life ever satisfied to live in any present, for insofar as it is life it continues, and it continues into the future to the degree that it lacks life. If it were to possess itself completely here and now and be in want of nothing\u2014if it awaited nothing in the future\u2014it would not continue: it would cease to be life. So many things attract us in the future, but in vain do we want to possess them in the present. (\u2026)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nor can a man seeking refuge in the persona he loves satisfy his hunger: neither kisses nor embraces nor any other demonstrations invented by love can interpenetrate one with the other: they will always be two, each alone and distinct. Men lament this solitude, but if they find it lamentable it is because being with themselves they feel alone: they feel themselves to be with no one, in want of everything. He who is for himself (mevnei) has no need of what would be for him (mevnoi aujtovn) in a future time but instead possesses all within himself. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHas been,\u201d \u201cshall be,\u201d and \u201cwas\u201d will take place no more, <\/span><\/p>\n

But \u201cis\u201d only in the present, and \u201cnow\u201d and \u201ctoday,\u201d And only the whole of eternity assembled\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But man wants from other things in a future time what he lacks in himself: the possession of his own self, and as he wants and is busied so with the future<\/em> he escapes himself in every present.<\/span><\/p>\n
