They asked the great Arab mathematician Al-Khawarizmi about the human being, and he replied:
– If he has ethics, then he is = 1
– If he is also beautiful, add 0 and he will be = 10
– If he is also rich, add another 0 and he will be = 100
– If he is also from a noble family, add another 0 and he will be = 1000
But if he loses the 1 that corresponds to ethics, then he will lose all his value and only zeros will remain.
I see that since the times of Globalization, with the arrival of the Internet – 1995 – the websites, the then-famous Orkut, and later the blogs and the many virtual interactions we have – have they brought us closer?
Have they distanced us?
They brought us closer while distancing.
They distanced us while bringing closer.
Argh.
The third millennium where it is evident that the so-called human being becomes a lover of himself.
How sad. An egotistical masturbation. Selfies, Instagrammers, bloggers in lethargic coma.
The first person singular has never been used as much as today. I. I. I.
I do. I can. I want. I command. I want. I pay….
With so much information, I feel pressurized like a bag of chips.
I ask, pray, and hope that the Almighty empties me of myself and fills me with Him.
With resignation, resilience, and altruism.
I am sure we are here with the purpose of improving. That’s why we are born green to gradually mature.
It is an obligation. Otherwise, there is no reason for us to be here.
With the revolution of involution, we have lost the value of people and only know the price.
We must pass on the power of words. Well-crafted phrases to touch and build.
In this flat plain, we must turn the soil and plant seeds that germinate good actions and serve as an example so that new generations are less robotic, less superficial, less full of themselves.
Collectively, in my solitude, I emanate good vibes to minimize the hardships and vicissitudes of life. Let’s take our box of colored pencils and go out there bringing light and harmony to justify why we are here.
I count on you.
