Quiroga - 126

 MORTIFICATIONS

While you read these lines published in a space confused in the midst of entertainment that distracts you, the planet on which you exist travels through space at a speed that would cause you mortal vertigo if you perceived it consciously, but the atmosphere, that thin and fragile layer that protects you from the infinite void, and the force of gravity, which offers you the means of knowing what is above, below and to the sides, both provide you with a comfortable capsule of safety so that the cosmogonic powers do not frighten you, and so you can exist in peace.

However, it seems that the peaceful existence that Life offers you so that you can use your creative freedom between heaven and earth and invent the existence that suits you, that this stable peace is not what catches your attention the most, and that the miracle of existing in security does not delight you, and that in a contradictory way, which is not justified, you need worries to mortify you, perhaps to also justify the mortifications that you certainly impose on your fellow and different people with intention or carelessly.

Observe your routine carefully, because it will most likely have become necessary to make adjustments, but due to the inertia of repeating habits, rectifications end up being left aside.
