Pesma Desiderata je nastala početkom XX veka, a u sebi sadrži već mnogima poznat stih "samo nežno prema sebi" 🙂 O autoru možete saznati više u opisu videa. Delim je sa vama jer se danas obeležava Dan mentalnog zdravlja.

Desiderata
Idite mirno usred buke i žurbe i zapamtite kakav mir može vladati u tišini. U najvećoj mogućoj meri, bez predaje, budite u dobrim odnosima sa svim osobama.
Govorite svoju istinu tiho i jasno; i slušajte druge, čak i dosadne i neuke; i oni imaju svoju priču.
Izbegavajte glasne i agresivne osobe; oni su mučni za duh. Ako se uporedite sa drugima, možete postati sujetni ili ogorčeni, jer će uvek biti većih i manjih osoba od vas.
Uživajte u svojim dostignućima, kao i u planovima. Budite zainteresovani za svoju karijeru, ma koliko skromnu; to je pravi posed u promenljivom bogatstvu vremena.
Budite oprezni u svojim poslovima, jer svet je pun trikova. Ali neka vas ovo ne zaslepi za ono što je vrlina; mnoge osobe teže visokim idealima i svuda je život pun herojstva.
Budi ono što jesi. Posebno nemojte glumiti naklonost. Nemojte biti cinični prema ljubavi; jer je pred svim sušnim i razočaranim višegodišnja kao i trava.
Ljubazno poslušajte savet godina, graciozno predajući stvari mladosti.
Negujte snagu duha da vas zaštiti u iznenadnoj nesreći. Ali nemojte se uznemiravati mračnim zamišljanjem. Mnogi strahovi nastaju zbog umora i usamljenosti.
Osim zdrave discipline, budi nežan prema sebi. Vi ste dete univerzuma ništa manje od drveća i zvezda; imate pravo da budete ovde.
Bez obzira da li vam je to jasno ili ne, svemir se nesumnjivo razvija kako bi trebao. Zato budi u miru s Bogom, kako god Ga zamislio. I bez obzira na vaš trud i težnje, u bučnoj zbrci života, sačuvajte mir u svojoj duši. Sa svim svojim lažnim, napornim i slomljenim snovima, i dalje je lep svet. Budite veseli. Nastojte da budete srećni.
_______________________________________________________
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
