Yo no nacÃ dichoso. De niÃ±o, mi himno favorito era: Â«Cansado del mundo y con el peso de mis pecadosÂ». A los cinco aÃ±os yo pensaba que si habÃa de vivir setenta no habÃa pasado aÃºn mÃ¡s que la catorceava parte de mi vida vital, y me parecÃa casi insoportable la enorme cantidad de aburrimiento que me aguardaba. En la adolescencia la vida me era odiosa, y estaba continuamente al borde del suicidio, del cual me librÃ© gracias al deseo de saber mÃ¡s matemÃ¡ticas. Hoy, por el contrario, gusto de la vida, y casi estoy por decir que cada aÃ±o que pasa la encuentro mÃ¡s gustosa. Esto es debido, en parte, a haber descubierto cuÃ¡les eran las cosas que deseaba mÃ¡s y haber adquirido gradualmente muchas de ellas. En parte es debido tambiÃ©n a haberme desprendido, felizmente, de ciertos deseos (la adquisiciÃ³n del conocimiento indudable acerca de algo) como esencialmente inasequibles. Pero en la mayor parte se debe a la preocupaciÃ³n, cada dÃa menor, de mÃ mismo.
