Para o complexo homem Jesus, ser feliz não era estar alegre sempre, mas se reinventar na dor; não era ficar imune aos vales das frustrações, mas gerenciar seus pensamentos. Quem poderia imaginar que Jesus ensinava gestão da emoção para os humanos serem felizes? Quem poderia imaginar que ele chamou alunos que só lhe davam dores de cabeça – como o ansioso Pedro, o instável João, o paranoico Tomé, o corrupto Mateus – para esvaziarem seus egos, serem empáticos, líderes de si mesmos e pacificadores da própria mente e da dos outros?

Mulheres abandonadas. Desde sempre, a literatura é permeada de histórias trágicas de figuras fascinantes, como Medeia e Dido, que se desfazem diante do abandono masculino. Emma Bovary e Anna Kariênina, personagens inesquecíveis, também sucumbem. A mesma Simone de Beauvoir de O segundo sexo escreveu A mulher desiludida, antologia de contos sobre personagens despedaçadas, uma delas por essa mesma via. No século xxi, Elena Ferrante atualiza a tradição, criando personagens que definham ou enlouquecem depois de dispensadas — é o caso de Olga, em Dias de abandono, que se vê confrontada com novas questões: Como pode uma mulher padecer "de amor" nos anos 2000?
