| Yaşamaya Dair I | On Living I |
|---|---|
Yaşamak şakaya gelmez, büyük bir ciddiyetle yaşayacaksın bir sincap gibi mesela, yani, yaşamanın dışında ve ötesinde hiçbir şey beklemeden, yani bütün işin gücün yaşamak olacak. Yaşamayı ciddiye alacaksın, yani o derecede, öylesine ki, mesela, kolların bağlı arkadan, sırtın duvarda, yahut kocaman gözlüklerin, beyaz gömleğinle bir laboratuvarda insanlar için ölebileceksin, hem de yüzünü bile görmediğin insanlar için, hem de hiç kimse seni buna zorlamamışken, hem de en güzel en gerçek şeyin yaşamak olduğunu bildiğin halde. Yani, öylesine ciddiye alacaksın ki yaşamayı, yetmişinde bile, mesela, zeytin dikeceksin, hem de öyle çocuklara falan kalır diye değil, ölmekten korktuğun halde ölüme inanmadığın için, yaşamak yanı ağır bastığından. |
Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel, for example- I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation. Living is no laughing matter: you must take it seriously, so much so and to such a degree that, for example, your hands tied behind your back, your back to the wall, or else in a laboratory in your white coat and safety glasses, you can die for people- even for people whose faces you've never seen, even though you know living is the most real, the most beautiful thing. I mean, you must take living so seriously that even at seventy, for example, you'll plant olive trees- and not for your children, either, but because although you fear death you don't believe it, because living, I mean, weighs heavier. |
