Aforismos y comentarios

"You used to be stronger than me..." Amy Winehouse

Time runs slowly, I lost things, I misbehave with people, I become a scary person. But I keep on that way, hoping that one day I will ride the monster. That was the reason for it all. What does not kill you makes you stronger, and I will not give up until I break the code.

I have seen a beautiful aphorism that makes it really clearly: 

"When all is said and done, no literature can outdo the cynicism of real life; you will not intoxicate with one glass someone who has already drunk up a whole barrel". Chekhov, letter, 1887

I want to build myself as a big, strong, implacable force, because they say that:

"He that can carp in the most eloquent or acute manner at the weaknesses of the human mind is held by his fellows as almost devine". Spinoza, Ethics, 1677

Friends - Led Zeppelin (1970)

"The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship" Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, 1790-3.

Porque siempre he querido encontrar amigos que me acompañen en el proceso creativo. Bien como señala mi amigo Cornelius Van Leeween, las grandes figuras históricas fueron producto de procesos sociales importantes (Picasso, The Beatles, Johann Sebastian Bach, etc...). Entonces, lo que busco es, como indica Rick Rubin, crear todas las condiciones para que el proceso creativo sea algo que se de inevitablemente. Pero para ello necesito que ustedes y yo estemos activos, aprendiendo, interpretando este mundo para hacerle un bien a la sociedad en posteridad.
