Quiroga -110

 WE ARE NOT “THE OTHERS”

Even if you can't appreciate everything you are, your appearance, your moods, your way of thinking, your fears, your dreams, your anxieties and anguish, even though there are countless moments in each day when you wish you were a different person of who you are, you will still have to continue living with yourself.

We are not the “others”, we can use cosmetics and clothes that make us appear different from who we are, but when it comes the time to put our head on the pillow to sleep, we will be alone with ourselves, aware of all the maneuvers we do to be different of what we are.

None of what is written here is a criticism, just the observation that our humanity has the gift of creativity, and the conviction that no one is born without the aspiration to subvert nature and destiny.

The human being that we are defies destiny, nature and the gods, sometimes paying a bitter price for it, at other times inventing wonderful things that would have been impossible to achieve without transgression.
