Lately I've been doing something I had not done for some time... -being happy-
and it feels great! As my inspiration doesn´t come out on happy times I'll post something from someone whose work I really apreciate. old... but still, touching and funny.
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I think the true life cycle is all backwards. We should die first, get rid of it soon.
Hence living in a nursing home, to be kicked out of there for being too young. winning a gold watch and go to work. So you work 40 years untill new enough to be able to enjoy your retirement. Then you enjoy it all, drink enough alcohol, make parties and preparing for college.
You go to college, have several girlfriends, become a child, no responsabilities, your a baby in arms, back to mother's womb, spend your last 9 months of life afloat. And it ends with a great orgasm. Wouldn't be perfect?"
Charlie Chaplin

IF...
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
Rudyard Kipling

forgettable...
ai ai ai
isn't it awful when someone says hi and you have that clumsy smile cause you have no idea where in the earth u saw that person before? yeah... it has happened a lot lately. Maybe because in my job I get in contact with many different people every day or I'm just getting senile and my neurons don't work as before... or maybe, i just didnt give much importance to the person?
who knows...
I saw the movie "2012" sounds quite american with all that patriotism and the hero president who stays to die with people instead of taking place in the airplane that would get him safe... he even makes the last speech to the nation. so touching... lol "God bless America!"

...
I' d like to be more than just a passerby on Earth during this short period of time delimited by the day I was born and the day I'll succumb to the fatal event of life, death! Despite the effort, it's not easy to keep a thinking being before so much futile information that, irrefutably, populates the human mind. Internet, Radio, TV... a few sources of empty knowledge that fill our brains.
Questioning about the truths that have been imposed to us is an affront we aren't prepared to face. We are encouraged to think uniformly, following trends that make us just one more alienated in the crowed that is taking big strides to an existential abyss.
Stonehenge, pyramids, and other human creations of the same magnitude are a trace of a more spiritual life in a distant past when the human used to have a conection with nature, unthinkable today. Nowadays, with our thoughts focused only on ourselves, we are slowly loosing our sensitivity. We know the particles of something as small as an atom but we can't notice the pain we cause when we decide to stay away from someone who loves us.
Tolerance is gone. It has never been so increasing the number of people who would rather live alone than share their lives with someone else. The fear of ending life lonely gave raise to the fear of "lack of privacy.
Ironically, as I write this, someone interrupts my thoughts with an instant message. An ex coworker with a questionable character telling me with a Machiavellian pleasure that she has had an affair with a married guy for 2 years. That's the portrait of a society corrupted by excess of selfishness. The pursuit of a happiness that can cost the happiness of another.
I do not believe that perfection is an attribute of human beings but even so we shouldnt stop trying to be better people. I root for that our legacy for the future generations is not as complicated as building a pyramid but has similar greatness and be much more useful! The ability to love and care about other´s pain.
