We get used



We get used to... 

waking up in the morning, startled because it's time to drink coffee fast, because it is running late.

reading the news on the bus because we can not waste time on the trip.

eating sandwiches because we do not have time for a healthy meal.

walking the streets and see posters, opening the magazines and see ads, turning on the television and watch commercials.

struggling to make money, to earn less than we need and to pay more than the things are worth.

living in apartments funds and have no other view than the windows around.

not open all the curtains, and as we get used to it, forget the sun, air, spaciousness.

pollution, artificial light quiver, to shock the eyes lead with natural light.

the bacteria from drinking water, slow death of rivers, contamination of sea water.

war and violence, and accepting war and violence, we acceptn the growing number for the dead. And, accepting the numbers, you agree with no peaceful world.

We get used to all this not to suffer... We get used not to grate on the roughness to preserve the skin.

We get used to all this to save our own lives... Which gradually pass, and so much getting used to, it loses itself.

We get used to all this, I know... but we should not.

The advantages of being silly



The silly, for not minding with ambitions, has time to see, hear and touch the world. The silly is able to sit almost motionless for two hours. If asked why not do something, he replies: "I'm doing! I'm thinking.."

Being silly sometimes offers a "world" of outputs because the smart only remembers leaving through cunning, and the fool has originality, it comes spontaneously to his mind.

The silly has the opportunity to see things which the smart does not see. 
Smart people are always so attentive to others' cunning that they relax before the silly, and then the silly sees them as mere human beings. The silly gains utility and wisdom to live. The silly seems to have never had his turn. However, often the silly is a "Dostoyevsky."

There is a downside for being silly, of course. A silly, for example, relied on the word of a stranger to the purchase of a refrigerated air second hand: he said the device was new, almost unused and that he was selling it  because he had moved to a cooler place. Then the silly purchased the device without seeing it at all. Result: not working. Called a technician, the views of this was that the unit was so damaged that repair would be expensive: added value to buy another. 
But, on the other hand, the advantage of being silly is to have good faith, not to be suspicious, being so very quiet, while smart doe not sleep at night for fear of being cheated. Smart wins but with a stomach ulcer. The silly does not realize when he wins.

Warning: Do not confuse silly with donkey. 
Disadvantage: the silly can get a stab of those who he least expects. It is one of sadness that the silly does not provide. Caesar finished saying the famous words: "Even you, Brutus?"

Silly does not complain. On the other hand, he exclaims!

Silly, with all his antics, many of them must be in heaven.

The silly is always so friendly that there are some smarts who try to pose for silly. Being silly is a creativity and, as all creation it is difficult. That's why smart can not go through silly. Smart gains of others. In contrast silly makes a living. 

Blessed is the silly because he knows and the smart does not suspect. 
In fact the silly does not care to know if he knows...
