Power

Image
Lately, I have been thinking about power. Without any pejorative connotation. Only the concept of power itself. Even if we deny it, the search for power happens to play an important role in our lives. Many relationships are based on an exchange of power. What is so special about it? Is it growing so much related to the acquisition of power? And if not… what makes us feel so satisfied when we achieve it? Money is power. Beauty is power. Language is power. Knowledge is power. Age is power. What else? And then I can’t help but wonder: Does the acquisition of power necessarily mean that we want to consider ourselves better than other people? Or can we just, or better said, should we just use our power to provide help to the others?

What did I do with my life?

Dice el gran Joaquín Sabina: "Al lugar donde fuiste feliz no debieras intentar volver"... Yo, por una vez, no voy a hacerle caso.

Odio a la gente egoísta.

This is just a reminder: in life, you are alone. No matter how many good or not so good friends you have, how beloved your parents are, how self-confident or successful you are, how deeply you are into someone or someone into you… It is only you who has to take tough decisions, who needs to administer your money, who feels sad without an apparent reason or who would like to disappear for a while… There are no mixed messages in life. Don’t be confused, don’t rely on apparently supportive signals. You are on your own. Just try to enjoy your loneliness.
