Why were you born yellow?
I have decided to write down my reflections every day and although I don't always promise to publish them here on my blog, I know that some of them may show some perhaps useful or interesting perspective.
Today I came across this little yellow flower and thought of a famous passage from Nietzsche's Zarathustra:
"Great star! What would be your fate, if you had no one to shine upon!"
Does the sun owe its light to those it shines upon, or the flower to those who behold it? I really don't think so, I think it is a rather egomaniacal question on our part. The purpose of the flower is to bloom regardless of whether it is observed or not.
And this is a lesson that we must learn, I know that as human beings we have a psychological need for approval, to feel useful perhaps, I am not really a psychologist or expert on it, but sometimes I think we tend to put too much importance on the perception that others have of us, I think it is important to be aware of how we are perceived, but it should not be paramount.
What is really important is that we are who we want to be. We can find our purpose, or we can build it. I think it has more merit to build it consciously. I don't think there is a why to the question of why she was born yellow, she just blossomed.
There is no answer to why we were born where we were born, it is simply our job to be who we are, and to be the best version of us every day.
The question is: Are you really doing something to be who you want to be? Or let's go a little further back... Do you know who you want to be? Remember it's not something innate, or inherited. It's a choice you may be making consciously or unconsciously.

¿Por qué naciste amarilla?
He decidido anotar mis reflexiones cada día y aunque no siempre prometo publicarlas acá en mi blog, se que algunas pueden mostrar alguna perspectiva quizá útil o interesante.
Hoy me topé con esta pequeña flor amarilla y pensé en un famoso pasaje del Zaratustra de Nietzsche:
"¡Gran astro! ¡Cuál sería tu suerte, si no tuvieras a quienes alumbras!"
¿Acaso el sol se debe a quienes alumbra, o la flor a quien le contempla? Realmente no lo creo, pienso que es una pregunta bastante ególatra de nuestra parte. El fin de la flor es florecer sin importar si es observada o no.
Y está es una lección que debemos aprender, sé que como seres humanos tenemos una necesidad psicológica de aprobación, de sentirnos útiles quizá, realmente no soy psicólogo o experto en ello, pero, a veces creo que tendemos a poner demasiada importancia a la percepción que poseen los demás de nosostros, creo que es importante estar atento a cómo nos perciben, pero no debe ser lo primordial.
Lo realmente importante es que seamos quien deseemos ser. Podemos encontrar nuestro propósito, o también podemos construirlo. Creo que tiene más mérito construirlo de manera consciente. No creo que haya un porqué a la pregunta del por qué nació amarilla, simplemente floreció.
No hay respuesta al porqué nacimos dónde nacimos, simplemente nuestra labor es ser quienes somos, y ser la mejor versión de nosotros cada día.
La pregunta es: ¿Realmente estás haciendo algo por ser quien quieres ser? O vayamos un poco más atrás...¿Sabés quién quiere ser? Recuerda no es algo innato, o heredado. Es una elección que puedes estar tomando de manera consciente o inconsciente.
