Abstract
This piece of writing aims to problematize the suppose empire of happiness we live in a currently days. We reproduce and comsume living standards without questioning what they have produce, putting ourselves happiness’s service as a way of reward. Itending to think about the way of suffering experience and weakness can be faced as an affirmative ethics of life, according to Nietzsche’s and Spinoza’s thoughts. This paper seeks to think beyond the complaining and negationists speeches about suffering wich end up minimizing the potentiality of life. In that measure, the body is enclosed and anesthetized to the sensitive experiences, while we are following manuals we believes containing de secret of a happy life, without space to experience of suffering. It also intends to find possibilities to deviate from this way of think about body and life, in order to make daily life lighter, seeing suffering and even death through new eyes, moving away from any moral or representational judgment.
