Being born is not a moment, but a process. And we happen to experience it several times in the course of life. In the human being, birth represents an eternal detachment from the other person. Entering an unknown world and accepting the condition of individuality and, therefore, of loneliness that characterizes us. Therefore, we must have the courage to be born.
Throughout life, many times we find ourselves in situations similar to those we experience when we are born. The great breakups, the great farewells, the new beginnings ...
These are wonderful and frightening situations at the same time. A real challenge that tests all that we are. Most of the time it is life that puts us in front of this kind of experience. But birth can also be a voluntary process. A decision we make when the evidence shows us that a great cycle has ended and that the time has come to inaugurate a new one.
There has been a lot of talk about the trauma of birth. At the same time, however, little is known about it. It is assumed that the fetus you go through very hard and heartbreaking moments during birth. The need to open a passage, to come into the world through hardships and difficulties… is a dramatic moment. We gamble our lives, in the true sense of the word.
