This article discusses the public policies of Brazilian social assistance through the conceptual reflection on the government of life based on a neoliberal logic. For this purpose, using a brief narrative made between memories and forgetfulness that permeated work and research expe‐ riences in this policy between 2011 and 2017, questions about entrepreneurship of oneself as a north, often present in the professional exercise in this policy, emerge. Starting from these re‐ flections and the ethical questions about what life we want to live and what we are doing about ourselves, we ask: how and why continue to operate public policies nowadays? The narratives, used as a methodological resource of this theoretical-reflexive research, helped us to proble‐ matize the interweaving of actions at this ethical crossroads, from which, finally, bets on the in‐ vention of the public character as fundamental in the professional performance in the Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS).
