Beaty Obertyńskiej sposoby na szczęście

Abstract

The article expresses a proposition of searching for recipes (inscribed in Obertyńska’s lyrics and memoirs) for good-natured tolerance of often difficult, even tragic events in life. Happiness turns out to be not given but reached as a result of one’s self-improvement, one’s work on the understanding and experiencing one’s fate. Broad perspective, which reveals more than one’s own story, adroitness at drawing from one’s own good resources of memory and sensitiveness to the beauty of the world, and eventually unceasingly practiced therapy, that is, writing, are the three techniques that Obertyńska applies and writes thereof.
