ONE (OTHER) AGAINST THE CHRISTMAS BUT, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Several followers of this blog have reproached me affectionately, my delay since the last entry. I feel like the most. It was not for lack of desire or even less, for lack of topics. Was not for lack of time. As it happens, from time to time, ordinary obligations added some extraordinary, requiring a very special effort, so that there is only minimal time for rest that allows you to work. That's what has happened to me, although I can not talk about the special issue. There are many interesting topics (the entry into force of a terrible Twenty reform "Penal Code of Democracy" Belloch lighting times, the defeat of the "law Sinde" the unnecessary hack smokers and an important economic sector, and will see in February 2011; etc.), but I have not had time to study them, as I like to do before writing.
And so, between one thing and another, the impending Christmas caught me, like so many others, quite against the grain, though, as I do, believe strongly in what Christmas celebrates. I understand very well, I think, who, without a foundation of hope that transcends the known data and experience and suffering day after day, find it impossible catch up with the "spirit of Christmas" or simply find insufferable input and a pre-Christmas atmosphere that feels like a strong pressure to adopt attitudes and feelings that seem completely false. I feel very close to them, but also understand the many people who see Christmas as a joyful haven of serenity they need and that their spirits, overcoming base to mark a break from the ordinary, lean spontaneously those people who want be happy and feel happy. " Because I want need and rightly so, because the truth is that we need everyone.
Here in this blog, parade phenomena and events, with their characters, identified or otherwise, not inclined to optimism or anything remotely like euphoria. Rather unfortunately, the opposite happens. In short, corruption and political, legal, social, of all types and in so many different environments, is very real and very serious, without a peep "branches" or "green shoots" of regeneration. And this corruption has led to an economic situation that has no trace of improvement, but quite the opposite, which is tremendous without the slightest exaggeration.
Yet still we are surrounded by good people, " in the best sense of the word, good ." Quite enjoyed excellent friends and loved ones. Sleep with a clear conscience. We're not completely alone. And, contrary to many days and many hours may seem, men and women of goodwill to super-super-much to those who, without giving anyone up for lost or think we are clean, but without goodism stupid, bad call people, bad people . If we were not more "good will" would come out every day even on the street with the ease with which left the portal of our home or our workplace. What who is (are) those of "goodwill"? That itself is simple and let me speak with Ulpian, in Digest (finally after all this blog is By law ). Good will is to believe that life must be taken to realize the "rebuttable Praecepta": " honest vivere, alterum non laedere, suum cuique tribuere " live honestly, honestly, do not annoy others, giving to each what yours, your right. Very probably, or rather, almost certainly, not enough to live reasonably happy Ulpiano, but the "good will" is pretty well defined with these three rules.
I remembered, to know why, this sonnet by Miguel Hernandez as Gongora, but so inspired, meaning, and exceptionally expressive and almost all of his first books:
these bones I have sentences made
and ruminations these temples:
pity you, you come brooding
as the sea from the beach sands.
Like the sea from the beach sands,
I swings in this wreck,
through a dark night of pans
round, poor, sad and dark.
Nobody will save me from this wreck
if not your love, try the table,
if not your voice, I intend north.
Stretching so evil omen
that neither of you even be security,
between pain and sorrow I smiled.
" If it is your love , try the table, if not
your voice, I intend northern . "
your voice, I intend northern . "
A love, a voice . The key is to procure , intending . Then, with patience, are achieved. No bad omens that and can avoid going smiling, but without keeping the smile "between grief and sorrow", because there are, and abundant, and, after all, the same Miguel Hernandez also said: "I know to see and hear a sad angry." We do not get angry or angry at others. can come and go constantly joy. Of joy that does not need tinsel and champagne. Although not go wrong.
Readers of this blog, women and men of goodwill, I wish you peace and happiness, with my enormous gratitude for approaching these pages. And enjoy listening to this excellent version of the wonderful topic of teacher immeasurable Ariel RamÃrez, Pilgrimage, the Misa Criolla : On the road, the trail :
Or this other version, more personal, beautifully sung for the exceptional Mercedes Sousa
