What Nourishes Me Also Destroys Me!
Any Angelina Jolie fans here? We bet there are some of we who really love Angelina! She has fans everywhere, even among acne suffers, doesn’t it? Still, Angelina doesn’t seam to suffer from acne, why have we remembered her here, within an article from a web site dedicated to acne?
It is because of one of here tattoos! If you are real fans, you should know that Angelina has a bunch of tattoos on her charming body. Furthermore, on the actress’ abdomen one could read the followings words, which Angelina has had tattooed years ago: “Quod me nutrit me destruit.”. The Latin phrase mean “What nourishes me also destroys me.” Ironically, or not, it is Angelina Jolie, one of the most beautiful women of our times and probably of all times, has had this phrase tattooed on her abdomen. The woman looks really good and she is one of the most successful actresses of the Hollywood. Still, it seems that despite this fact Angelina Jolie has always been aware of her human ephemeral existence.

So, what nourishes me also destroys me! This is true also for us, the common people that are no Angelina Jolie anyway! It is not our fault, this is how God or the “The Master of All Puppets” has allowed us to live. We pass through life as if we were on a journey. When we are still young the journey seems to be a long one, but in just years we realize how it is all in fact. Life’s short and death represents the most certain thing off all things on this world! It’s certain that someday we will day, so this way it is highly ironic the fact that every little step, every minute we live represents also a little step, a minute further towards death. This is why we should enjoy every bit of our live, it is the only live we have been given till now.
So, although it is true that what nourishes us also destroys us, we cannot and should not starve on this world. We have to taste a little bit from everything, to visit all the beautiful places we are able to, to spend time with beautiful and good people, to smile and laugh, to sleep and to work, because as Goethe has showed through its masterpiece (“Faust”) only working could offer us redemption.
Anyway, let’s return to acne and food. Let’s not become negativist or abstinent about our lives. We should only be careful to choose the right path in living our lives. Let’s not allow the small, unimportant things to get between us and a beautifully-live life. Let us be the masters, let us be brave and fight against all problems and disorders. Let’s help our bodies toughly support our big journey through live.
