I few words about Veronika decides to die:
I haven’t read all the Coelho’s books, but I assume this is the best one.
It is written in a good way. There are some funny circumstances there and there is a great wisdom reduced to simple words that everybody can comprehend.
I think that this is the big advantage of Coelho’s books - he manages to say many truths that may take you a lifetime to understand in a few sentences. Of course, you won’t understand them if you haven’t been through most of it, but there is always something very small you may have missed. Or you may have not been sure if you were at the right guess.
His appeal here is simple: “Live!”
But, God, how much time it may take you to understand that you should live your life your way.
Even I found out that there are still things I take for granted from the society. Even I tend to judge myself and my friends according to the “public opinion”. Am I not stupid?
OK, it is not exactly “public opinion” and it is not that conscious, I mean I still have some inheritance from what my parents or my teachers thought me.
I am not easy to be taught. I like to check things myself. But still there are things I must have taken form others. Wrong! Very wrong!
I know that I have been doing things that “normal” people would consider “bad”, “vicious” or ‘sinful” and I never regret, but I may still have some senses of guilt deeply buried in me.
I am going to get rid of such things once and for all.
