L'émergence du Bonheur

L'émergence du bonheur...
Selon une enquête récente (1), les Français ne seraient pas heureux. Dans l'Hexagone, il existerait une dimension culturelle de l'inquiétude qui nous rendrait particulièrement sensibles à l'assiette ébréchée, au gobelet poreux, au couteau émoussé... plutôt qu'à la nourriture variée dont nous sommes nombreux à disposer, au moment des repas.
Le bonheur est une idée subjective, aux exigences renforcées par la complexité de notre société. "Sois heureux d'avoir la vie sauve", entendait le voyageur détroussé par un bandit, au siècle de Voltaire. "Sois heureux de pouvoir travailler", se réjouissait l'ouvrier, pendant la Grande Dépression.
Aujourd'hui, les difficultés économiques, les enjeux climatiques et les problèmes de santé frappent à la porte en même temps. "Ferme les yeux pour être heureux", nous chuchote notre époque et par chance, nous nous rebellons. Malheureux mais lucides, nous agissons, échangeons, unissons. Amitié et savoir-faire nous redonnent alors le goût de vivre.
Or, la littérature est un savoir-faire alimenté par des émotions partagées. Surgelés pour préserver la langue, les mots du dictionnaire exhalent les saveurs du monde dès lors qu'ils se trouvent assemblés dans des phrases construisant un décor, une situation, des personnages, des événements... et c'est un vrai plaisir de se laisser happer par ces évolutions fictives.
Un héros imaginaire, cadre moyen, a oublié de mettre son réveil : il court sur des pavés, puis dans des couloirs pour éviter la sanction... pour continuer à gagner sa vie. Comme il habite un univers inventé (mais vraisemblable), il arrive en salle de réunion juste à point pour présenter son intervention, inspirée par une jolie fille croisée au pied de l'ascenseur. Rendez-vous pris avec le succès, et l'amour suivra sans tarder.
Continuons à lire pour approcher ce héros du quotidien rêvé... c'est ainsi que nous irons à la rencontre du bonheur.
