Mais de Waking Life

"When it was over, all I could think about was how this entire notion of oneself, what we are, is just this logical structure, a place to momentarily house all the abstractions. It was a time to become conscious, to give form and coherence to the mystery, and I had been a part of that. It was a gift. Life was raging all around me and every moment was magical. I loved all the people, dealing with all the contradictory impulses - that's what I loved the most, connecting with the people. Looking back, that's all that really mattered".

Pois é. Algumas pessoas são mesquinhas. Ruins mesmo. Algumas, não todas. Não é preciso ser filósofo para se chegar a essa conclusão. Mas é foda quando se sente a filhadaputice alheia na sua própria pele.

Como li há alguns dias, a ruindade é questão de mais ou menos coragem. Coragem para ser escroto, acho. Eu não sou ruim. Também não sou uma pessoa difícil de se lidar - ao contrário do que pensa certa autoridade (?). Mas não mexam comigo. E não ousem mexer com aqueles que eu amo.

Man on the Train: Hey, are you a dreamer?
Wiley: Yeah.
Man on the Train: I haven't seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.
