Tired of a philosophical reflection that had made of the mortality and the condition of the “end” the destiny of the human condition, Hannah Arendt reverses the terms of the question and starts again from the beginning: to begin with the beginning means that to die we must first be born and it means that this origin, “being born,” is something more than being simply and casually “thrown into the world.” It shows us the novelty of which we are capable: to break into the world and start something new. Certainly, the conditions of our natality we passively suffer, however it is the way in which we react to this givenness that makes us unique and particulars. The need to reflect on our life through other stories or writing biographies or our own autobiography can become an important moment to reflect on our own origin. It is important narrate one’s own pain, inherent in every coming to the world, because it allows those who do so to continue to live and survive. Arendt reconstructs the biography of Rahel Varnhagen, because she was attracted by her destiny of pain, her “uncomfortable and infamous” birth. The pain that afflicts Rahel is her Judaism and a life of exclusion and marginalization.
