LOT OF THEORY, LITTLE PRACTICE
Our humanity, as is well known, theorizes a lot and practices little, that is, it preaches in every possible way, but does not practice with the same or greater intensity what it preaches. Without going any further to give an example, let us take the case of knowing that unity makes us stronger and more efficient, but in practice we sow division, distancing, disintegration, prejudices and a lot of contempt for those with whom we would never accept any type of union, who, in turn, cultivate the same feelings towards us.
As a result, in our theoretical but heated discussions, we make wise statements, citing indisputable thinkers, but we do not dare to experiment with what we theorize, and in this way we all end up in the awkward position of having to conceptualize the world in which we live as an entity separate and distant from our practices, something that exists by its own nature, and not as a result of what we do or do not do.
Therefore, there is little point in theorizing something like “be the change you want to see in the world,” because if we truly believed in this, we would no longer waste time and would dedicate ourselves to immediately and persistently practicing what we want to see in the world, because it would no longer be a distant entity separate from us.
People’s company is good, but not always, especially at those times when they are taken over by that frenzy of commenting on other people’s lives without even having the authority to do so.
