The thinker and psychologist Farid Dieck shares his vision on the absurdity of life and the importance of constructing one's own meaning. Through his experiences, especially after the loss of his brother, an episode that radically marked his conception of human existence, Farid reflects on how death and pain force us to rethink our expectations and find meaning in what we live. His teachings focus on the difference between the search for an inherent meaning of the things that happen to us and its active construction, suggesting that each transcendental experience is an opportunity to re-signify our life. Farid also addresses the importance of community and human relationships as sources of meaning, explaining that human beings are intrinsically linked to others and that their daily actions have an impact on the entire society. In addition, he emphasizes the role of self-knowledge as a path to individual freedom, allowing us to recognize and control the factors that condition our actions and being different. In this interview, Farid invites us to reflect on the acceptance of the unacceptable and hope as a resource to face the absurdity and adversities we face in life. Farid encourages us all to be agents of change, contributing to a better world through our daily actions and empathy towards others. Because, as he himself says, “as long as there is life, there is the possibility of transforming and doing different things.”
