Life is beatiful... dah!

Updated: Nov 16, 2024

Just because it’s Friday afternoon, almost night, and to close this short working week on a high note, here is Maria Bethania singing O que é o que é , a reflection on life by Gonzaginha that today I want to see like the ratification that life is not as much to be understood as to be experienced:







O que é o que é is the name of a guessing game usually played by children; in Spanish, its equivalent could be Adivina, Adivinador, or Adivinanzas, and in English, probably Twenty Questions. In the song, after rather complicated, unsatisfactory answers to the question, the simple, must accurate one is that life is... Beautiful. Let's easy up a bit this Friday, stop insisting on understanding, defining or explaining life, and instead, just live it. Life is too important to be taken seriously, wrote someone... Oscar Wilde, maybe? I will try to remember it.
