Gabriel Rolón, psychologist: "Being happy is a big responsibility"

Gabriel Rolón, a renowned psychoanalyst, discusses contemporary myths around personal fulfillment and the challenges of living in a culture that prioritizes immediate results. He emphasizes that happiness involves significant responsibility and criticizes oversimplified views of emotional processes as mere individual choices. Rolón introduces the term 'faltacidad' to describe a form of happiness that embraces human imperfections, including pain and absence. He argues that true well-being exists in the present moment rather than in an idealized past or uncertain future. Rolón also explores love as a human invention to confront existential anxiety, noting that healthy relationships involve relinquishing power over others during conflicts. Additionally, he highlights how societal expectations and familial mandates can obscure an individual’s authentic desires.
