While it is true that the profession, or rather the livelihood, inevitably influences the themes that writers are inclined to address in their works, there are certainly professions and professions. Law, to a greater or lesser extent, leads to the perception of endless bureaucracy and injustice. Journalism, of perfidy. In these two examples, it is difficult for the subject matter not to also lead to a certain tone. Therefore, although both areas of activity seem to have an intimate link with writing, it is easy to fall into commonplaces when looking for the raw material for the work. On the other hand, professions that appear to be less connected to literature, such as medicine, especially office medicine, provide an arsenal of human experiences that is extremely varied and very difficult to classify. In this case, the extraction of material does not seem to be accompanied by a suggestion of theme or tone.
How Difficult It Is to Create Positive Work!
How difficult it is to create positive work! The easiest thing to do is always to let negative impressions lead you down the opposite path… and, worse still, when taking this opposite path, this path of the greatest effort, it often seems that the stamina is lacking, the reasoning fails and the result comes out as shocking, unsatisfactory. This unfortunate inclination can only be overcome with a lot of patience and willpower…
The Hard Part Is Noticing That…
The hard part is noticing that, despite all the planning, this strange force always returns and manifests itself, pushing us in an unforeseen, if not previously rejected direction. Accepting it with respect, integrating it and even valuing it is an extremely difficult task; without doing so, however, no progress is made and nothing is understood.
A Genuinely Brazilian Quality
A genuinely Brazilian quality, certainly among the most positive in many ways, is this predisposition to good humor. Perhaps it is an African trait, the most important African trait in the Brazilian character. The fact is that Brazilians are refractory to bad moods and have a daily, constant, almost unshakeable joviality that makes life more pleasant and, above all, avoids the extremes to which a bad mood can lead. Such lightness is not found in Europe, nor in the American metropolises, and is a distinction worthy of greater appreciation. However, while this quality improves social life and makes it much easier to get along, it is also responsible for the aversion to deep reflection, something very well attested to by national literature.
