MY SOUL HAS HURRY
MY SOUL HAS HURRY
"I counted my years and found that I have less time to live from now on than I have lived up to now ...
I feel like that child to whom they give a package of sweets: the first he eats them with pleasure, but when she realizes that he has few left, he begins to enjoy them intensely.
I no longer have time for interminable meetings, in which statutes, laws, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that in the end nothing will be achieved.
I no longer have time to put up with absurd people who, apart from their age, have not grown up in any other respect.
I have no more time to waste on nonsense.
I don't want to attend meetings where only inflated "Egos" parade.
Now I can't stand manipulators, careerists, nor profiteers.
I am disturbed by the envious, who try to discredit the most capable, to appropriate their talent and their results.
I hate, if I am a witness, the effects that the struggle for an important office generates.
People do not argue about the contents, but only about the titles ...
I have little time to discuss material possessions or social positions.
I love the essential, because my soul is in a hurry now ...
I don't have many sweets in the package anymore ...
Now, so alone, I want to live among very sensitive human beings.
People who know how to love and make fun of his naïve and mistakes.
People very sure of themselves, who do not boast of their luxuries and their riches.
People who do not consider themselves elected prematurely.
People who do not escape their responsibilities.
Very sincere people who defend human dignity.
With people who just want to live with honesty and righteousness.
Because only the essential is what makes life worth living it.
I want to surround myself with people who know how to reach other people's hearts ...
People whom the hard blows of life have taught to grow with sweet caresses in the soul.
Yes ... I'm in a hurry ... to live with the intensity that nothing more than maturity can give us.
I do not intend to waste even a single dessert of those that now remain in the package.
I am sure they will be delicious, much more than what I have eaten so far.
My goal, in the end, is to leave satisfied and at peace with my loved ones and with my conscience.
We have two lives and the second begins when you realize you only have one. "
(Mario de Andrade, Brazilian poet)
