She would have said but nothing is impossible, there is much to enjoy.
Especially do not pretend it was perfect. Do not like, do it with. The world is as wonderful qu'imperfection. It is a wonderful imperfection. Much more beautiful than our delusional illusions of perfection, for it contains. Let us make do with what we offer: his dreams and nightmares, its beauty and drama, his dark days and nights bright, her laughter of children and the sadness of old who finally succumbed to the slope age, on the pretext of wisdom. That fatigue is true, I think, makes us give up. Therefore, while for the body, we are compelled to note that there is not much to do, despite our funny and artificial attempts to keep a juvenile form, do not we are persisting in trying to stay young in spirit? Keep the child we all have certainly been. Keep these wonders first to enjoy these immeasurable pain and immeasurable because first we did not know at the time there would be many other, much worse later, relegating them to the first rightful place, the pain of beginners. Why not enjoy its priceless beauty, as we all lived, small? I remember the shocking discovery, the first betrayal of life.
You mean, those of the family? Yes, have you ever done it well with these people, of which thee uncovered, then fed, those who've cherished or hated that anchored the first benchmarks that will guide us along the way?
One of the biggest flaws of the world is that physicists call entropy. Basically, if I understood what my teacher was trying to explain physics long ago she should already be made to the state of what was found in his pieces: a sort of soup where s 'collide at top speed all the molecules, diverse, colorful and fragrant. It's fun to think that eventually all the teachers of physical end turn into, be reincarnated in, so to speak, the content of the glass tubes they do not manipulate illusions to cohorts of adolescents, with few exceptions, intended to take over their drudgery and repetitive teacher, do not show at best a forced interest to the wonders that they are approaching. You can not put the toothpaste back in the tube when it is released, or even reconstitute the woods when it burned.
Stardust. We are stardust. Each atom that we made and which comprises the entire of the known universe, including us, was forged in the hollow of the immense nuclear furnace are the stars. Stardust we are dust and redeviendrons. Logic. Atom and radiation energy that will deteriorate. As
as time passes, I feel, too, at my level, this degradation. This is the principle of entropy applied to men. Here, we call time. This, I believe, the world's biggest flaw: it is subject to time.
The bizarre fact is that we are not of everything we were at our birth. Every cell in our body then was replaced by new ones. Each cell is dead and has been replaced several times. Except maybe my brain, finally, those who have survived so far, nothing that made me is identical to what I composed a few years ago. It is a famous knife of Wittenberg, which remains the same while successively his blade and handle have been replaced. We are in the same case. The real weird is that we are already more than what we were there a few seconds, for example when I started this sentence and we will certainly have another when you've finished reading it.
But time does not just submit ourselves to this perpetual metamorphosis and paradox, where we never yet still remain the same, it's worse. For the few who gives us the illusion of our preservation, our continuity, our uniqueness, time has found even better. It makes us player action. That is what we call history. We are all enrolled in a genealogy. We are not ourselves that we are a link in a genealogical chain, we can not escape, Anyway, regarding upstream.
For downstream, ie, our descendants may be we can of course prevent us from creating life, to reproduce ourselves. This verb is particularly abhorrent. This is not to reproduce, although the physical act involved in these undeniably famous pleasures of life mentioned earlier, but now I know (and I understand that we were a few billion in the know) that it may be heterosexual act without necessarily reproducing and even less intention of - but simply to play, random encounters, emotions and impulses, the great lottery of genetic mixing. Our children are different from us, even if they are our children, but more importantly, their time is different from ours. Their time as we crossed slowly on the decline of our trajectory, dressing one morning in our absence. To see my son grow up, I see my own approaching death. It is the work of time. But sometimes we are, at times, to snatch bits of eternity, suspensions of happiness that lasts a little. Do not fall into the illusion. Very good, very good to see him play its little sun. Good. But soon, the race resumed, the howls in the ears, we must one day or another start to muddle through this tunnel which leads to a zero output even blacker than the night of ink from which we emerge .
