Happiness - taken from a monologue of Roberto Benigni

 

forgive my translation...

...our whole life is summed up in this word,

Love

But there is one thing to say, that time passes

and the fundamental problem of mankind since 2,000 years is the same,

Love

But now it is more pressing, very pressing.

And when we hear today repeating again we have to Love each other

now we know there is not so much time, we have to hurry.

Let's hasten to Love. We Love always too little and too late.

Let's hasten to Love, becouse at the end of life we will be judged about Love.

Because there is no wasted Love.

And because there is no greater thrill to fell, when we are in love,

our life totally dependents by another person.

And because everythings, also the inanimate one

like the mountains, the oceans, the streets ... but more, more

the sky, the wind ... more

stars, more

cities, rivers, stones, palaces

all these things that in themselves are empty, indifferent

suddenly, when we watch them, are loaded with human meaning

and fascinate us, move us.

Why? Because they contain a premonition of Love, even inanimate things.

Because the plating of all creation is Love

and becouse Love fits with the meaning of everythings, Happiness.

Yes, Happiness.

Search her constantly every day.

but, whoever listens to me now, goes searching of happiness! Now!

Just at this moment, because she's there.

You have her. We have her.

Because they have given her to everyone.

They have given us as gift when we were children

and it was a so beautiful gift that we have hidden her,

like dogs with bone when they hide.

And many of us have hidden her so well that they cannot remember where.

but we have her, you have her.

Look in all the closets, shelves magazines of your soul.

Throw everything up!

Drawers, bedside tables, you will see her comes out.

There is Happiness!

Try shooting turn around, maybe you take her by surprise, but she's there.

We must always think about the Happiness,

and although she sometimes forgets us,

we never have to forget her, until the last day of our lives.

And we must not be afraid even of death.

Its more dangerous to born than to die.

We havent to be afraid to die but never begin to really live.

Jump into the existence now, here.

Because if you do not find anything now, you will not find anything ever again.

Here is eternity.

We have to say Yes to Life

We have to say a so full Yes to Life that is able to contain all the No.

Because now we understand that we know nothing

and that we dont understand anything, and we just understand there is a great mystery,

and that we must take it as it is and let it stay,

and that the thing that makes the most impression in the world

is the Life that goes on, and its unclear how she does.

But how? But how can she resists?

Its another mystery and no one has ever understood,

because Life is much more than we can understand

for this reason she resists.

If Life was just what we understand she would have ended since a long, long time.

And we feel it, we feel that at any moment there could happen something infinite,

and then each of us can do just one thing, bows.

Done
