It's a sad day, today, Luis Alberto Spinetta died.
Just to remember him:
Here, the government, is encouraging people to dig on their patios and find out if they have indian blood.
Then encourage them to learn their ancient culture, their dead languages, to practice their ancient custom.
Such a nice idea.
The humanity produces a lot of rubbish.
Do we have to look for all this rubbish and save it?. Do we have to save all those dead languages which don't have a single one book written?.Do we have to keep all those ancient religiose ceremonies where people were sacrificed?.
Let dead languages, rest in peace.90% produced by humanity is rubbish. Did I say 90%?, I think I am being too generous.
Dust to dust. Rubbish to rubbish.
Culture is overestimated.
The mind is a powerful thing. It establish the limits of our universe.
When we are childs, this universe is limitless. We can be whatever we want. We could be a rock star, a futbol player, or an astronaut. The time and the society begin to make it smaller and smaller, until it collapse.
But we can make it bigger if we try. The point is that we have the power. We should not accept what the society impose us.
Only the reality.
We used the culture as an excuse. The culture has little or nothing to do with our welfare.
Culture is overestimated.
What would happen if (as Jhon Lennon said), there is no hell below us.
Nothing to kill or die for.
Culture is overestimated.
The worst you can do is to stop thinking.
Don't stop.
Gengis Khan statue. (I'm sorry about the size.)
If you want to get in in this select hall of fame, you must kill more than a hundred thousand people.
I'll stop here from pasting pictures but you know that the list is endless.
Why are people so fasinated with those killers?. I have an interpretation.
Well, I think that people know that these killers were extraordinary visionaries and that they have tried to solve the over population problem. So they build them statues to thank them their contribution to the ecological equilibrium of the planet.
They knew that the human race is a plague in this planet.
And like any plague must be under control.
Occidental people never wanted to face our real problems.
Always looking far away, always going fast, further, as further as posible from us, from inside, from our real problems.Now the scientists have to chew the dust.
They were making plans to colonise other planet, but, they couldn't put a single foot on Mars, the very first step to the outer space.
What is now about the huge step of Neil Amstrong?.
Maybe now, we will have to take care about our only planet.
This incredible, beautiful planet.
Maybe now the scientists could start to think how to clean this planet instead of looking for other to destroy.
I want to believe that the end of the spatial race is the beginning of our reconciliation with us, and our only planet.
Maybe we can detest it or we can enjoy it, but the fact is that we are trapped in this fantastic planet. We are together.
Here.
And we have no other place to go.
We can destroy it, or we can live here in peace like brothers.
But, we are trapped here.
Together.
Think about it.
All religions give us the right to kill people in some situations, but deny us the right to kill ourselves.
We may decide to kill someone because of justice, but we may never kill ourselves because of mercy.
It seems freak and cruel.
Jesus said that we have to put the other cheek, but when the church had to support a war, they didn't have any problem to conciliate the religion with the war.
Other religions support the violence in an open and more sincere way.
In the middle age the catholic church tortured people till death in horrible ways, but they sent them to hell if they killed themselves.
They killed homosexuals by introducing hot iron bars in their bodys to save their souls.
And they didn't apologise to the world until now. Just in a timid and weak way.
There were no mercy, and there are no sorrow in the catholic church.
They decide what it's right and what it's wrong. They say us what to do. Well, I don't have any special powers, I don't have any special right, I am just requesting the right to decide about my life in a case of extreme pain, in a case of a terrible,incurable illness.
I am just requesting mercy.
The very moment I met her, I loved her. I wanted to marry her a week later.
I couldn't even breathe without her.It was the strongest feeling of my life. But it was imposible to live with her. We kept quarreling all the time. But I couldn't leave her.
I never took drugs, but I suppose that it is something like that.
I wasn't prepared for it, I didn't know what to do, I still don't know.
I'm not living with her any more. But, I have never felt nothing even near it. We lived together for twelve years, but now we are very well, we are separated.
Someone could define it as a nightmare.
Well, now the nightmare is finished. We are ok now.
It was a nightmare.
It was a complete disaster.
It was a terrible mistake, but, I still love her. I can't help it.
I am sorry, I know it is not a tale for a romantic book.
I know it was a disastrous mistake, but it is my love story.
When I was a child, I had a little dog, and when he became very ill, we killed him. It was for mercy. It was the right thing to do (said my father).What is the right thing to do when people become very ill. Would we have to suffer like animals. Did we treat our dog like an animal?.
I know that, I would like to be treated like my little dog.I am not ill. I am just talking hypothetically.
Did you see someone suffer terribly?
Here, I don't know why, the medical fashion is the brutal sincerity.
Years ago, they never told you the truth, but now it is quite different.You can go alone to a hospital and they can tell you that you only have two days.
Years ago, they could keep you breathing with your brain death for years. Now they disconnect you in no time. Ha!, they ask first to your family if you want donate your organs.
The medical system here could easily change the rules in a few years. But evidently they did it because of money. To do something like this because of mercy, is more difficult.
Money keep the world whirling, mercy not.
There are unknown things inside us, and sometimes we can glimpse them. But when it happen, the question is: whether we have to let it out, or not. Because something disastrous might happen.I don't know if we have the right to do it, because we can hurt some people. People who are expecting that we act as always.Do we have the right to change the rules in the middle of the game?.Of course, to take a decision I would have to be more specific, but at this point I would like to know: What are you thinking?.What I am talking about?.
I am going to be very specific now, because I am talking of you. I am talking about that thing you hide, that thing you don't let out, because you are afraid to hurt the people you love.I can't be more specific. You might share it with us, or not, but at this point you know what I am talking about. Am I right?.
Suppose that one day you start to think. And you look inside. And you find out that you are selfish. Do you have to go on thinking or do you have to try to be another person?.Suppose that you find out that you are not fit for the society. And you are afraid to find out more, and you are afraid you could not change.What if you find out that you don't need money, ok you have to eat, but you don't need most of the things they try to sell.What, if you find out that you don't want the cliches of the society?.I mean: love, family, babies, a career, a position, respectability, money. What if you don't want all those things?. Do you have to try to change?.Is there something wrong with you?. Do you have to stop thinking?. Or do you have to accept yourself?.Are you free?, are you doomed? or do you have to look for help?.You would probably are alone. And this is not good. Then, would you try to fit in the society?. Try to keep a job, to earn money, to have a family?.Would you try to change?. To go out of your nightmare, to go out of yourself?, to be another person?, would you accept your destiny?, or would you look for help? as a very sick person.
I don't think this could happen to you but is better to be ready.
