The central aim of the present article is to put in question a structural tendency ofour tradition of understanding the problem of negativity. If we consider the immediate reaction to the assertion that existence characterizes itself exactly through a very ontological indeterminacy, it is not uncommon to perceive how hard is to embrace this assertionwithout a sensation that it makes impossible the own existence, if it is not counterbalanced by any kind of attenuation tosuch a nothingness, of paving negativity. Such difficulty resonates over the main ways to cope with existential suffering and even of thinking the most essential focus of therapies in general. Putting in question these ways of thinking and their presupposes, we are trying over all to investigate if suffering itself has its basis in the extraordinary weight arousing from the proper attempt to avoid suffering. Heidegger is,in this context,our closerpartner of dialog, such asthe metaphors of the bridge and the lighthousewhichguide us in our path.References
