Brazilian Columnist's TikTok Video on Running Sparks Self-Reflection
São Paulo, Brazil – June 5, 2025 – In a recent TikTok video, Becky S. Korich, a columnist for the prominent Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, shared a deeply personal reflection on her relationship with running. Korich uses the metaphor of running to explore the internal conflict between embracing one's nature and striving for self-improvement, a conflict she describes as an "embatte" (struggle). She states, "Minha preguiça usa um ótimo argumento: 'respeite a sua natureza, deixe a vontade aparecer.'" (My laziness uses a great argument: 'respect your nature, let your desires appear.') However, she counters this with the Kantian notion of transcending limitations. The video's popularity, with over 600 views and 20 likes in a short time, suggests significant audience interest in this personal yet universally relatable theme. Korich's candid discussion of her experience with running, including challenges and triumphs, makes for a compelling narrative that could inspire readers to reflect on their own journeys of self-discovery.
