Qual é a nossa motivação?

Fui renovar minha carteira de habilitação. A mulher que estava sendo atendida antes de mim ficou indignada quando soube que, por causa do movimento de fim de ano, o motorista pode ter que esperar até 15 dias para receber o documento em casa. Ela disse em alto e bom som, para que todos na sala pudessem ouvir: "então meu marido vai ter que ligar para o Diretor do Detran, que é amigo dele". Ela não só pensava em usar uma suposta influência, mas necessitava demonstrar que tinha a tal influência.

Poder, dinheiro e prestígio - penso que esses são os três principais motores do ser humano. Quando buscamos no fundo da alma a nossa motivação (aquilo por que lutamos) corremos o risco de encontrar uma das três razões.

A minha lista deriva do que diz Spinoza. Ao refletir sobre as coisas que poderiam produzir a suprema felicidade (segundo pensam os homens), ele destacou as riquezas, as honras e a concupiscência. O problema, diz o filósofo, é que, se formos frustrados em algum momento na esperança de viver felizes com base nessas motivações, podemos ser tomados por uma suprema tristeza.

Poder, riqueza, honra, prestígio...

Quando mais pensamos ser felizes nos movendo sobre essas bases, mais desejamos ser reconhecidos por elas. Pensamos ficar mais belos assim.

Pobres os que pensam que a realização vem de coisas tão fúteis. All we need is love, don´t you think?

Assim fica mais fácil dominar a massa acéfala-bovina-comedora-de-alface...

na verdade, acho que a origem do valor dos valores é muito mais uma questão de estado de espírito que se desdobrou em classes sociais, do que uma moralidade necessariamente originada nas classes sociais.

É preciso ser muito nobre de espírito para não se deixar entregar ao poder, ao dinheiro.

Uma provocação: quem não pensa estar feliz tendo poder, prestígio, dinheiro?

Por favor - levante a mão!

Sandra Leite disse...

Jasão,

Não levanto!
Mas é totalmente possível, come on!
Ronaldo, o poder dessas pequenas coisas é tão irritante. Sabe essa "senhora", aquele que entra no banco e diz "você sabe com quem tá falando?" (e normalmente é um mané), esses pseudo-poderes me irritam.
E quando você concede poder a alguém tem a noção exata de quem ela é.
Não sei quem falou que "não é o poder que corrompe o homem. Ele já estava corrompido, só não sabia como exercer o autoritarismo".

Ronaldo Martins disse...

Meus caros amigos blogueiros,

Obrigado pelo debate.
Preciso produzir mais para provocar vocês.
Jason,
Concordo contigo. Não é fácil resistir ao poder, ao dinheiro, ao prestígio.
Mas... é possível.
Creio que precisamos ser motivados pelo amor.
Calma lá. Não estou falando desta idéia romântica de amor.
Acredito numa outra espécie de amor.
Amor como militância.
Estou começando a escrever algo sobre isso.
Grande abraço,
Ronaldo
