Let\u2019s look at three sources of knowledge: books, people and songs. \u00a0The first source tells us that reality is superior to imagination, theory is superior to practice, emotion superior to thought and passion superior to sweet tranquility. \u00a0People teach us to realize that they are not tunnel promising, \u201cGet to know me\u201d and there is no other choice but to collapse exhausted before the door at the end, where there\u2019s a sign saying, \u201cCaution, danger zone.\u201d People teach us a lesson in patience: that we need to watch, listen and remain silent. \u00a0Remaining silent is difficult, but something we learn with time. \u00a0It is not lack of spontaneity, but caution. \u00a0In fact I have known very few spontaneous people. \u00a0Can it be that the ultimate expression of spontaneity is aggressiveness: \u00a0Sincerity is an inopportune act of aggression, a double-edged sword: a sincere person is called \u201cconfrontational\u201d and branded as such unless he learns to tell the truth with a sweet expression on his face, or makes a joke out of it. \u00a0In actual fact, a sincere person is admired, even envied. \u00a0He inspires envy because to remain quiet as most people tend to do, is very easy \u2013 telling the plain truth is extremely difficult. \u00a0Very few people like to go against the tide, to be rejected; not everyone can take it. \u00a0One should be comfortable with solitude. \u00a0People who fear confrontation, and who are afraid to start up an argument or be criticized, or to have an opinion different from everyone else\u2019s, make me laugh.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It must be sad to pass unnoticed, without leaving one\u2019s mark \u2013 to be like a chair tucked away in a corner.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Songs, the third source of knowledge, teach us about love \u2013 they are the bible of love. \u00a0Not today\u2019s lyrics \u2013 they lack passion! \u00a0They are simply manifestations of desire, with no depth of feeling. \u00a0Forty or fifty years ago people would fall in love and sing about it: songs about love, women and beauty. There were songs about everything a man or a woman was capable of doing to have their loved one at their side. \u00a0Sex was talked about indirectly \u2013 not like today, when it\u2019s often talked about quite brashly. \u00a0The aura of mystery has been fading little by little.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Now, we\u2019re just thirteen years from the year two thousand, and could you sing Felipe Pirela\u2019s \u201cEl Retrato de Mama\u201d [the Picture of Mama] to your mother? \u00a0I know it by heart, but I wouldn\u2019t dare sing it to mine\u2026 she\u2019d never forgive me! \u00a0I once gave her a set of earthenware bowls for a present and she dismissed them with the remark, \u201cHere we are just thirteen years from the year two thousand – and you\u2019re about to send me back to the Stone Age!\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
