Love and Mood: The Theory of Mood

By Federico Leso

Human suffering is physiological, normal, natural, necessary and usually doesn't have a real objective cause that can justify it. In a state of physical and mental rest, humans naturally tend toward this state of suffering, and this is the way nature has selected to push us into action-physically or mentally-so that we can return to a state of well-being, and at the same time be useful and productive for humankind.
So don't insist on finding a cause for this suffering-it's unnecessary. Instead, act if you want to feel better: socialize, think, plan, create, work, help, solve, explore...

Federico Leso's theory of mood represents an innovative and deeply useful perspective for understanding the human condition. Unlike common views that treat distress as an anomaly to be eliminated, Leso interprets it as a fundamental biological function-an internal signal that pushes us to act, to change, to create. According to him, human beings do not suffer because they are broken, but because they are alive. Bad moods, rather than being repressed or medicalized at all costs, are read as a call to transformation: the more you suffer, the more you are pushed-if you want to survive and regain balance-to do something new, to plan, to activate creative thinking.

This view is valuable because it restores dignity and meaning to suffering, freeing it from a purely negative interpretation. In a time when well-being is often confused with the absence of problems, Leso reminds us that it is precisely from discomfort that movement, exploration, and even love are born. His theory, therefore, is an existential resource, because it teaches us that we shouldn't fear restlessness, but rather listen to it and translate it into action.
