Vivo cada estação em cada detalhe. 20 de março de 2009, começo junto com as árvores a renovar minhas folhas para esperar novos frutos. Há dias, estou deixando partir muitas folhas. Outras ficam porque elas, como as fotografias, são o retrato de uma época. Prova de que as estações seguiram seu curso e frutos foram amadurecidos. Estou de volta ao outono. O mesmo tempo em que escrevi o texto que segue. Uma árvore mais forte, de folhas renovadas e com muitos frutos maduros para contar. O texto é um dos poucos que datei. Pela indicação que encontrei nele, abril de 1996, ele foi exposto no quadro de avisos da sede do Centro Acadêmico do Curso de Letras, UFPB, gestão Boca do Inferno, tempo em que eu presidia o centro. O texto está na sua versão original. Portanto, há que se considerar um fruto em sua fase de amadurecimento emocional e pessoal. Ele foi dedicado aos meus amigos que fizeram daquela estação uma estação perfeita...
Life on a stage (Play your part)
Sometimes I wonder what life indeed is. I’m sure this is a question that worries most of us. Especially during the days we are young.
I myself still didn’t get to a final conclusion. I even know if I (or anyone else) could get to it. But I’ve learned one thing: little details also worry us too much leading us to forget to live as we should. Probably it happens because there is no book to teach us how to live, what is too bad…
Life is something apart from theory. It has to be learned by practice. Making errors and rights if that is, according to Piaget, the way people learn anything.
The most important point then is how life is faced. We should just live. Live without thinking about our wrongs and rights, live as Dorothy Richardson says in Death: “Live as if you were going to die tonight; live freely!”
However, all this spirit of freedom does not mean living in a stupid way. Each one of us must be conscious of the reality we are inserted in and play our role.
I remember Shakespeare’s The Seven Ages: “All the world is a stage and all the men and women, merely players”. So, be active! Play your role and do not forget to choose a good soundtrack list to follow the story of your life.
