Pilar Sordo: Life is a hotel; you choose how you want to live and what decisions you make

Chilean psychologist and writer Pilar Sordo reflected on daily decisions and how people face pleasant experiences and difficulties by comparing life to a hotel stay. She explained that while one cannot always choose the conditions of life, individuals can decide how to make the most of their time. Sordo revisited a column she had written years ago titled 'La vida es un hotel,' inspired by a hotel she visited and numerous accommodations during her travels and conferences. After returning to the place that motivated the original text and spending time with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson, she confirmed the continued relevance of this metaphor. She emphasized that although the duration of a hotel stay is known, both life and a hotel stay end eventually. During her trip, she observed different attitudes among guests, some complained about minor inconveniences like towels or food, while others appreciated what was available, even under imperfect circumstances. Sordo highlighted that the experience of a hotel, like life, depends largely on personal choices and attitude.
