Dis daai verlange wat soos n vleishaak agter jou haakskeensening ingeslaan word en jou laat struikel, en in daai een oomblik VOEL jy wat jy verloor het... en dis daardie gevoel wat jou dit SOVEEL meer laat waardeer...

Meer oor Saudade!!!

“Why did you leave? Which deliriumCaused you to abandon my beloved body? (Pascoaes, 1920, p. 215)According to the theory proposed by Aristophanes in The Symposium, written by Plato, there would have been in remote times a third sex, formed at the same time by the feminine and masculine sexes. Because the people pertaining to this sex, the androgynous, resembled the Gods too much, Zeus decided to cut them in half. There would be, since then, the necessity of restoring our primitive body, and this would be the reciprocal affection of two people for what once has been the same body.

Freud writes that “ego appears to us as something autonomous and unitary, marked off distinctly from everything else.” (Freud, 1989, p. 4466). There would be only one state in which it doesn’t appear in this manner: “At the height of being in love the boundary between ego and object threatens to melt away. Against all the evidence of his senses, a man who is in love declares that ‘I’ and ‘you’ are one, and is prepared to behave as if it were a fact.” (Freud, 1989, p. 4466)

António Cândido Franco explains that this boundary between ego and object doesn’t disappear due to love. By simply loving someone, it only becomes clearer how we are alone with ourselves. “The impossibility of the physical presence of the beloved person creates an estate of a painful tension, in which the meditation caused by the absence becomes the meditation about the own ego. The name of such an estate is no longer love, but saudade. Perhaps saudade is another name of love, the one which allows the desired unicity of people when they fall in love. Passion is the temperature of desire, while saudade is the concretization of love through absence.” (1992, p.35) This is perhaps the deepest meaning of saudade, and everybody feels it sometimes, if not always, in life.
