Writer and psychoanalyst Gabriel Rolón once again stirred controversy with his statements about love and happiness. In an interview, he described the mechanisms of the psyche regarding affections and the management of shared vulnerability. The meeting allowed for a breakdown of the importance of mutual protection in a couple and the pursuit of possible well-being in an environment marked by shortcomings and external mandates.
“To love someone is to grant them power over you,” Rolón fired off, and explained that this process occurs through the exchange of experiences that the individual reserves for their innermost circle. According to the writer, the bond is nourished by confessions about pains, fears, and situations that cause shame: “I tell you things I haven’t told anyone, you know my pains, you know some things that embarrass me,” he detailed about the emotions people share in a relationship.
In this context, he stated: “When you love someone, you grant them a lot of things that give them great power over you. And what I believe is that the person who loves you healthily is the one who renounces using that power. They never use the power they have over you to hurt you, to win an argument, because they are angry.”
The use of private information as a weapon of attack marks a definitive boundary in a couple. Rolón was blunt regarding this behavior in the realm of affections: “Using the pains someone confided in you to hurt them is an unforgivable attitude,” the analyst sentenced, and immediately added: “If at some point I decided to use this, it means something has broken.”
In his book La felicidad, the professional proposes the neologism “faltacidad” to define a well-being that does not ignore pain, as it rejects the idea of absolute plenitude and prefers the concept of an imperfect happiness, and affirms that life is an uncomfortable and unjust place where human beings coexist with their marks from yesterday. “The mix of lack and happiness. Which is a happiness in lack. It is a happiness in a human being who already lacks things,” he emphasized. For the analyst, emotional stability arises from inhabiting the present moment: “Happiness is the here and now.”
“Art, there are dreams, there are projects, there are those shared moments that are unforgettable. I mean, it’s this: we make a mistake when we want to narrow down and transform life into a happy place. Happiness exists as long as we don’t make the effort to pretend it lasts forever. And when you want to embrace it again and hold onto it, you’ve already stopped being happy,” the specialist concluded.

che este rolon es un zurdo de mierda para mi amar es dominio no dar poder al otro el macho pone los limites las minas de ahora son todas putas empoderadas que te manipulan aguante la familia tradicional gil
Para mí Rolón es un vendido que habla desde su torre de marfil. Amar es dar poder, sí, pero el capitalismo te hace creer que es individual y te olvidas de la lucha de clases. Amor sano es construir poder popular, no relaciones de piyama. Dejá de romantizar la opresión, burgués de mierda.
