Li em algum lugar sobre uma antiga maldição chinesa: "Que você nasça numa época interessante!".
Este é um momento muito interessante, pois não existem modelos para NADA do que está acontecendo. É um período de queda livre em direção ao futuro, e cada um tem que trilhar seu próprio caminho. Os modelos antigos não funcionam; os novos ainda não apareceram. Na verdade, somos nós que estamos moldando o novo na formação de nosssas vidas interessantes. E esse é todo o sentido do desafio atual: somos os ancestrais de uma era por vir, os geradores involuntários dos seus mitos de apoio, os modelos míticos que inspirarão as suas vidas.

Joseph Campbell

“Your law is not my law. Your law is not the law of the gods; It's just a man's occasional whim. And I do not believe that your proclamation has such force that it can replace the unwritten laws of customs and the infallible statutes of the gods. Because these laws are not laws of today, they are not laws of yesterday, they are laws of all times: no one knows when these laws appeared. No, I would not risk the punishment of the gods to satisfy the pride of a poor king.” Antigone, by Sophocles

"Watch your thoughts, they will turn into words. Watch your words, they will turn into actions. Watch your actions, they will turn into habits. Watch your habits, for they will turn into character. Watch your character, for it will become your destiny." Lao Tzu

"The free man is immoral, because in everything he wants to depend on himself, not on a tradition: in all the original states of humanity, 'bad' means the same as 'individual', 'free', 'arbitrary', 'unusual' , 'unheard of', 'unpredictable'." NIETZSCHE

Mystery is the noblest thing we can experience. It is emotion that lies at the heart of true science. He who does not feel this emotion and who can no longer marvel or be astonished is as if he were already dead. Knowing that what is impenetrable to us truly exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our limited faculties can only grasp in their most primitive forms, this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of all true devotion . Cosmic experience is in fact the most powerful and noble pivot of scientific research. Einstein

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the wonderful that only the wonderful has power over me. Anything I can't turn into something wonderful, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls. Anais Nin

The Statutes of Man (Permanent Institutional Act) Article I It is hereby decreed that the truth now applies. Now life is worth it, and hand in hand, we will all march towards true life. Article II It is hereby decreed that all days of the week, including the grayest Tuesdays, have the right to become Sunday mornings. Article III It is hereby decreed that, from this moment on, there will be sunflowers in all windows, and that the sunflowers will have the right to open within the shade; and that the windows must remain, all day long, open to the green where hope grows. Article IV It is decreed that man will never need to doubt man again. That man will trust in man as the palm tree trusts in the wind, as the wind trusts in the air, as the air trusts in the blue field of the sky. Sole paragraph: The man will trust the man as a boy trusts another boy. Article V It is decreed that men are free from the yoke of lies. You will never again need to wear the breastplate of silence or the armor of words. The man will sit at the table with his eyes clear because the truth will be served before dessert. Article VI The practice dreamed of by the prophet Isaiah is established for ten centuries, and the wolf and the lamb will graze together and the food of both will have the same taste of dawn. Article VII By irrevocable decree the permanent reign of justice and clarity is established, and joy will be a generous banner forever unfurled in the souls of the people. Article VIII It is decreed that the greatest pain has always been and will always be not being able to give love to those you love and knowing that it is the water that gives the plant the miracle of the flower. Article IX It is permitted for man's daily bread to bear the sign of his sweat. But above all, it always has the warm flavor of tenderness. Article Article XI It is decreed, by definition, that man is an animal that he loves and that is why he is beautiful, much more beautiful than the morning star. Article XII It is decreed that nothing will be forced or prohibited, everything will be permitted, including playing with the rhinos and walking in the afternoons with a huge begonia in your lapel. Sole paragraph: Only one thing is prohibited: loving without love. Article XIII It is decreed that money will never again be able to buy the sun in the mornings to come. Expelled from the great chest of fear, the money will become a fraternal sword to defend the right to sing and the celebration of the day that has arrived. Final Article. The use of the word freedom is prohibited, which will be removed from dictionaries and the misleading morass of mouths. From this moment on, freedom will be something alive and transparent like a fire or a river, and its home will always be the heart of man. Thiago de Mello

What no one tells you is the relief of allowing yourself to be imperfect. If someone puts you on a pedestal, get down. Every pedestal is a prison. Let people see the imperfect, the real, the flawed, the subtle, the strange, beautiful and magical person that you are. Allow them to be mistaken about you, to laugh behind your back. Allow them to judge, to whisper, to believe they know who you are. Allow them to look at you crookedly, to move away, to exclude you, to reject you, to cancel you. See that, yes, this ends in death. Death of this one who was a slave to others. And then live!! Live free and without fear. Because the other no longer has power over you. Care more about your conscience than your reputation because your conscience is who you are, and your reputation is what others think of you. You don't have to be perfect. Honor your humanity.

“I am stronger than myself” (just as Clarice Lispector wrote) and despite my body weakening, my soul does not give up hope, because it knows that happiness is not something that is sought, but that it is present in the little things of our daily lives. And that's why I keep smiling, even if sometimes I cry. And I cry. But I'm smiling now. Yes, I'm weird, but you want to know? I like myself a lot!

Lock the libraries if you like; but there are no gates, no locks, no padlocks with which you will be able to lock the freedom of my thought. Virginia Wolf

If you are suffering from external things, it is not them that are disturbing you, but your own judgment about them. And it is in your power to overturn this judgment now. Marco Aurelio

"You wanted to be free. For that freedom, there is only one path: contempt for things that do not depend on us." Epictetus

If people treat you like an option, free yourself from them as a choice... Yes, I'm a good person, but you often cross the line. Life happens! They said I changed a lot. I said a lot has changed. When trust is broken, apologies mean nothing. Before you judge me, make sure you are perfect. Be careful who you trust! Even salt looks like sugar. Sometimes you just need to play the fool to make the fool think he's fooling you. I smiled again not because I was happy, but because I was strong!

"Face life in front of you... Always... Face life in front of you, and see it as it is... Finally, understand it and love it for what it is... And then let it go." follow her... Always the years between us, always the years... Always the love... Always the reason... Always the time... Always... The hours." Virginia Wolf PS: my favorite writer ❤
