Amidst the chaos, we must do our part to find moments of happiness (whoever seeks a continuum of bliss, one can already forget it, I'm sorry). Epicurus recommends that we distance ourselves from politics, because it only serves to stress us out. And this is despite not having lived through the disasters of the 20th century or the amnesia of the 21st century, which has revived fascist obsessions. It is obvious that we cannot remove the government of the polis from our lives, but we can create bubbles of time dedicated to much more important matters, like a little breeze when the sun sets, the murmur of the sea when the beach empties of people, paying attention to the sounds of birds, getting lost in the pages of a book, crying with emotion, and laughing at will.

In general, there are two groups of people: those with whom we can simply be, and those with whom we necessarily have to do something. If you don't believe me, take a quick look at your friends and family (or even partners). The people with whom we always have to do something are those with whom—intentionally or not—we make plans, those with whom we always have something to do, making them feel somewhat incomplete. I have nothing against a friend who goes for a run, a friend who goes to the movies, or a parent who finds a shared hobby with their children to spend time together. But allow me to doubt that these are the people who truly know us.

Aina Benítez met the director of I know more than you From IB3, Àngel Aguiló Palou (Palma, 1980), when they were fourteen years old, at the Joan Alcover secondary school in Palma. They repeated a year. "We repeated because we were lazy, but I don't think either of us would change it. That repeater year was a lot of fun," recalls the communicator's friend, who has more than 25,000 followers on Instagram.
