Résumé

For the believer, we were expelled from Paradise1 and hence our suffering began. In one way or another, here and now, we are still vulnerable. Regardless of gender, color, race, belief or condition, we are human beings. «If you prick us, do we not bleed?» said Shylock2. We are humans wandering about the Earth and through time, in vain seeking the lost invulnerability we shall never regain. If we venture through the past of the different cultures to the present day, invulnerability�s is a story of man�s overcoming of adversity �a question of good physical, psychological and social health. It may seem an illusion to some, a mirage or unattainable dream for others, but we refuse to give up on it since we first treaded on this planet. What can we learn from history? Basically: to resist adversity and keep on going convinced that in spite of our traumatic experiences, life is worth living.
