“The truth is hardly on the side of the screamer.” (Rabindranath Tagore)

“The truth is hardly on the side of the screamer.” (Rabindranath Tagore) In these times when no one escapes moments of insecurity, we are surprised as if in an act of breathing, when we transfer to something that has to do things that we have inside. As Rabindranath Tagore said, "if you close the door to all mistakes, the truth will remain on the street." It will not be a surprise to anyone that everything that puts in “politics” or “fanaticism of the football club” always begins with small clouds of disagreement and passes with great speed to storms of conflict, some irreversible, driving friends away from each other, because talking about any of these matters becomes intolerable, we are still a long way from finding a middle ground in social relations, which we have seen, every day, increasing the devaluation of family and friendships, in which we spend time moving mechanically, effortlessly, in a kind of trance ... ..and so our memory goes on “forgetting” that as Michel de Montaigne, a French writer, said: ““ Among our greatest pleasures in this world are pleasant thoughts, and the great art of life consists of having them as many as possible. ”
In reality, all of us, in general, no longer know if we are depressed or discouraged, but somewhat anxious, in a context of some unhappiness and anguish, and deep down we may be resigned and live in our very restricted circle of social contacts. , in which the memory of our other routines seems to us more and more distant, in which the days follow each other without expectations of changes, in a kind of adaptation that affects us as a confrontational “torpor”, in a time that passes and we are already feeling emotionally better prepared to deal with these crisis situations. “If we can't do something well, at least do what looks good. Life is not fair ... Get used to it. ”(” (Bill Gates) We have to have the perception and acceptance that we are in times of transition to a new model of living and experiences in society, with multiple implications, for good and for less well in the various dimensions of our existence and that even in moments of interaction social, almost always at a distance, there are dimensions that empty themselves, because as someone has said, “when you are obtaining information only through the ears and eyes, there are a number of things that do not reach the level of the skin, the touch or the smell ”. Basically, there is an ambiguity between the present and the absent, between being and not being, perhaps in those moments, we have to realize that the best way to prepare for “new and different times” is to have the imagination that as the old foxes, "to know the ways to overcome the blows." As Albert Einstein said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination goes around the world. Knowledge comes, but wisdom takes time. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simplified. ”
