Texto #396: «I have a Dream»

We are living in a very important moment of our history
as humanity. In this era, our society has advanced
enormously in areas like science and technology,
literature and communication. Nowadays, it is easier
for us to have cameras with us and to speak with
other people in real time of every place of the world
than it was fifty years ago.
We have internet, and with it, the opportunity to build
our digital identity to express our ideas,
to show our work to others,
to edit our legacy to the posterity.

Despite we are in a good time in the new millenium,
we still carry on a lot of mistakes and fault
that we must correct if we want to live better
and find peace in our daily behaviour.

We are the main actors of our own lives,
but also we are important to the big story
that is the world. Problems like armed violence,
domestic violence, poverty, famine and mental illness
have to be spoken and discussed by everyone
in order to find a solution.

My dream is that my legacy helps to improve the world.
By sending my vision of my reality through photos
and essays, I’m looking fordward to transform
other people’s minds in a positive way.

Un Párrafo: Perspectivas Renovables

Veo gente desmotivada o con ideas negativas respecto
a la situación actual. ¿Ustedes de verdad dejan que
los demás les pauten sus emociones?.
Esperan mucho de los demás en vez de enfocarse en
generar un cambio. Se amargan con las noticias
y no viven el presente a plenitud.
Por último, veo que ansían un futuro reconfortante,
pero no lo edifican creando su felicidad en el presente.
La masa colectiva vive en temor.
La solución está en valorar cada momento y entender
que es mejor transmitir lo positivo que atraer
lo negativo. La indignación descompone.
Hace falta más gente que entienda que podemos
cambiar nuestra vida y nuestro entorno haciendo
lo mejor que está a nuestro alcance.
Un carro no avanza a punta de quejidos,
un barco no navega impulsado por desesperanza.
Los vicios sólo dejan deterioro a su paso.
Somos afortunados por tenernos a nosotros mismos.

A Paragraph: Renewable Perspectives

I see unmotivated people, with negative ideas about
the actual situation. Do you really let others
to rule your emotions?.
You expect too much of others instead of focusing
in generate a change. You upset yourselves with
the news and don’t live the present in your best.
Finally, I see you are eager for a comforting
future, but you don’t build it creating your happiness
in the present moment.
The colective mass lives in fear.
Solutions lies in value each moment and understanding
that is better to transmit the positive than attract
the negative. Indignation decomposes.
There is a need for more people who understand
that we can change our lives and our surroundings
by doing the best that is in our hands.
A car doesn’t move by moans,
A ship doesn’t navigate propeled by despair.
Vices only let deterioration in its path.
We are fortunate for having ourselves.

Texto #386 – Un Párrafo: ¿Adiós para siempre?

Existimos por un tiempo limitado, conocemos a ciertas
personas, nos relacionamos, hacemos amistades,
saludamos, compartimos y nos despedimos al terminar.
Éstas interacciones son, al final, pasajeras,
estamos siempre con nosotros mismos.
¿Te ha tocado despedirte de alguien
a quien querías mucho? A lo largo de mi vida he ido
comprendiendo, que cada situación deja una enseñanza,
cada saludo es un nuevo comienzo, cada encuentro
una nueva oportunidad, cada palabra crea algo nuevo
y aunque digamos «Adiós para siempre»,
algo de nosotros queda en la otra persona.
Las interacciones son pasajeras, pero no nosotros.

Text #386 – A Paragraph: ¿Forever Farewell?

We exist in a limited time, we know certain people,
we relate to others, we make friends, we say hello,
we share and say goodbye at the end.
This interactions are, at last, transients,
we are always with ourselves.
Had you said goodbye to someone whom you liked a lot?
Through my life I’ve understood that each situation
leaves a lesson, each greeting is a new start,
each meeting is a new chance, each word creates
something new and even when we say «Forever Farewell»
something of us remains in the other.
Interactions are transients, but not we.
