03 // Times change, and blogs change too
Most folks walking the earth belong to the exclusive club of sentient beings
capable of experiencing subjective awareness.
The good, the bad, and the downright ugly!
And belonging to the human race bestows a rather privileged advantage over the rest of the
breathing world:
free will!
Humans can choose precisely when and how to behave. To be, or not to be—socially compliant with established rules, ethics, and morals.
Or, for reasons known only to the breather itself—to go against the grain.
Many times not even aware that being different will trigger social chain reactions—the good or bad consequences!
That audacity to just BE!
Why are we who we think we are?? 🤭
Because we are 'thinking' beings—full of sh... ?**9++?!:)(⊙ _ ⊙ ) that 'stinky odour couture' 😮😅
And...
As the human race moves on, the only constant in life is the constant change ;)
So, I leave you to this beautiful reminder of transformation as a way of acceptance!
Mudam-se os tempos, mudam-se as vontades
Muda-se o ser, muda-se a confiança;
Todo o mundo é composto de mudança,
Tomando sempre novas qualidades.
Continuamente vemos novidades,
Diferentes em tudo da esperança;
Do mal ficam as mágoas na lembrança,
E do bem, se algum houve, as saudades.
O tempo cobre o chão de verde manto,
Que já coberto foi de neve fria,
E enfim converte em choro o doce canto.
E, afora este mudar-se cada dia,
Outra mudança faz de mor espanto:
Que não se muda já como soía.
— Luís Vaz de Camões
The being transforms, trust transforms;
The whole world is transformation,
Perpetually taking on new form-creation.
Continuously we perceive things new,
In all things different from what was hoped;
From evil, pain remains stowed,
And the good, if any shared, the longing view.
Time clouds the ground with a green cloak,
That in cold snow once was hidden,
And at long last converts the sweet song to a choke,
And, apart from this daily change,
Another transformation brings greater wonder:
That things no longer change as they used to change.
