ELEGY

ELEGY
blessed those who think life is a wonder

ill-adventured those who think it's not that much but life should be lived one day at a time and with a tense smile on lips

because the existential syndrome sticks to the body's skin and doesn't come off with daily washing

because even if everything goes well and according to our plans a question always remains --- what's the point if nothing has an explanation? ---

why do we talk about eternity if we only perceive moments the shorter and more intense the better

why do we think humanity has no end just because we look at each other and we are convinced our children will continue to look at each other


--- NOTHING OF THIS WOULD BE NECESSARY IF THE UNIVERSE DIDN'T EXIST ---


blessed those who think life is a wonder

blessed the ill-adventured because the kingdom of uncertainty is theirs

///

ELEGIA

abençoados os que pensam que a vida é uma maravilha

mal aventurados os que pensam que não é tanto assim mas que a vida é para viver um dia de cada vez e com um sorriso tenso nos lábios

porque a síndrome existencial cola-se à pele do corpo e não sai com as lavagens diárias

porque mesmo quando tudo corre bem e de acordo com os nossos planos fica sempre a pergunta --- para quê tudo isto se nada tem explicação? ---.

porque falamos da eternidade se só temos a percepção dos momentos quanto mais curtos e intensos melhor

porque pensamos que a humanidade não tem fim só porque olhamos uns para os outros e temos a convicção de que os nossos filhos vão continuar a olhar uns para os outros


--- NADA DISTO SERIA PRECISO SE O UNIVERSO NÃO EXISTISSE ---


abençoados os que pensam que a vida é uma maravilha

abençoados os mal aventurados porque deles é o reino da incerteza

Que ce soit dans le judaïsme, le christianisme ou l’islam, la littérature
apocalyptique a scruté les textes fondateurs pour y déceler des indices, des
« signes » permettant de reconnaître l’approche de « l’Heure » pour s’y
préparer et donner un sens à la terreur appréhendée.

C'est une sage préparation, ainsi pensait Montaigne "que philosopher, c'est apprendre à mourir". En attendant, vivons chaque moment avec tendresse, amitié, cherchant la beauté et le respect des autres. Peut être incognito, buvons un peu de ce jus de cerise fermentée si douce à Lisboa...
