Piece of cake

Why does everything must be so dificulty? People keeps arguing everyday about how dificult is to do ( enumerate a bunch of things in this space). What if everything was easier? Would the world be a nicer place? I don't think so, this way the world would be really boring, no one would feel the emotion of having accomplished some hard task. Nobody would everdo anything great! There would be nothing great to be done in the world.

Capítulo 4

O grito de R. se calou. Não porque ele tenha perdido a vontade e os motivos para gritar, isto provavelmente irá acompanhá-lo pelo resto de sua existência. Uma vez provado o gosto do horror, do horror em sua forma mais primordial,  o horror do vazio e da inexistência, ele foi condenado.
Condenado ao sofrimento e às dúvidas.
R. nunca soube que com tal atitude ele traçou sua sina, e provavelmente não saberá.... mas esta não é o tipo de ferida que cicatriza...

Life

Once I read in a magazine that philosophy can only be good for the people if they can apply it their life.
Thinking about this, the first thing that came in my mind was the secular spirituality. The planet would be a better to live on if there were more secular spirituality, as said in the imagine song:

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

Have you already heard about the Odyssey(in Portuguese: Odisséia)?
Do you remember Calypso?  The nymph who detained Odysseus (Ulisses) for many years? She offered to him eternal youth if he stayed in the island with her, but guess what? Odysseus said no. The Island of Ogygia was not his place, he rather die as a normal mortal to live the rest of the days there. This is really a big thing. One message of this passage is that it's much better to live a good mortal life than to have a failed immortal life.
Thats what I mean when I talk about the secular religious...  Nowadays we live more than ever a disillusion with the world, trying to find meaning in illusions, like a guy who suicided after watching the Avatar movie, saying that he wanted to live there, in Pandora, not here on Earth... Foolish thing...
Wouldn't it be rather better if everyone made the same choice as Odysseus? Choosing to have a good life, in harmony with each other and with the world? That is what secular religious is about, choosing to leave in peace with each other, to live our lives now and then, to be happy and to make a better world...

You may say
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day
You'll join us
And the world will be as one...

Change

As a friend of mine has asked me, I will try to write the some of the posts in English, so she can also read :). And I will also try to change the point of the texts that I've been writing... I think that they were becoming too hard... Too sad for me to write and too uncomfortable  for the people to read... Probably I will start to write them again sometime, I like to write that kind of text, but for now, lets have a bit of happiness here ( or at least, less bothering texts that tries to make you care about the things on the world). ^^

Desculpas

Desculpem-me.  Desculpem-me aqueles que leem meu blog, desculpem por este estridente grito de puro "vazio"; ou talvez "desespero", não sei como defini-lo... Este grito que nasceu comigo e que sempre me doía... Que sempre vinha nas piores horas, ou tornava estas horas as piores...
Desculpem-me todos aqueles que ouviram o meu grito e o sentiram.  Mas não irei parar. O meu grito continua.

Sério

As pessoas leem o que eu escrevo aqui e levam a sério... Pra que? Se nem esse mundo é plausível de ser levado a sério...  haha

Desprezível

E eu estou me tornando tudo aquilo que mais desprezava. Sem mais motivos para ser quem eu era, eu percebo que assim é mais fácil...   "Não combata os tiranos sobre pena de se tornar um."
