weakness

Curious about what was going on, I couldn't keep the eyes off these boys. The goats were yelling as crazy while the boys were pushing them. It took a long while to force the animals to the shore of the beach. Finally and after different tricks, the animals ended inside the water. That was their bath time. In a place where fresh water is a treasure, salt water from the sea gets lots of uses.

"Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties..." (Hermann Hesse)

Weakness is today's flavour and things inside me are out of control. Will try to put my mind in mode off.

Hermann Hess es un escrito estupendo, un maravillo narrador de sensaciones.

Y tiene razón, solo hay que escoger que parte de la crueldad y de la belleza te gusta de cada cultura.

en palabras de Hesse: "a la fortuna, sea buena o mala, le podemos dar significado y transformarla en algo de valor"

o como convertir los errores en enseñanza y huir del camino fácil y a burrido.

Me encantó Damian y el Sidharta (lo escribí mal seguro)

Y de todas esas cosas se puede aprender, solo hay que saber observarlas con una mentalidad abierta, pero ver los bondades y debilidades de cada sitio.

Demian y Siddhartha. Dos libros inmensos... Yo tengo especial predilección por Demian, y ambos son un gran ejemplo de lo que dices, Fanmaki.

Masmi, efectivamente hay que observar y aprender con mentalidad abierta para entender, valorar, respetar, amar o criticar. Al fin y al cabo, el mundo es mundo, y nunca deja de sorprender, ya sea para bien o para mal.
