The weaving of mankind into one community does not imply the creation of a homogeneous community, but rather the reverse; the welcome and adequate utilization of distinctive quality in an atmosphere of understanding... Communities all to one pattern, like boxes of toy soldiers, are things of the past, rather than of the future. H.G. Wells
“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual persons; the neighborhood…the school…the factory, farm or office…Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere.” Eleanor Roosevelt
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn't make any sense.
Rumi
Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things. Death, for instance, is...Expand for more
not terrible, else it would have appeared so to Socrates (else, I believe, for this is a fallacy by Epictetus, but by our interpretation of death, since a well known stoic principle is tells us that death is the absence of sensation, and it should not disturb us, because when we are, it is not, and when it is, we are not). But the terror consists in our notion of death that it is terrible. When therefore we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved, let us never attribute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own principles. An uninstructed person will lay the fault of his own bad condition upon others. Someone just starting instruction will lay the fault on himself. Some who is perfectly instructed will place blame neither on others nor on himself. Epictetus, The Enchiridion
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go. Dr. Seuss
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And then things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too. Dr Seuss.

More about Rodolfo:"De profesión ingeniero, de vocación soñador, pensador acaso o escritor, quiero decir que es casi lo mismo, sólo se trata de plasmar los pensamientos en papel. alegre por lo regular. inusual. gracioso de formas inusuales. seguidor de las digresiones cíclicas o tal vez en espiral.sobre-usador de adjetivos. seguidor de las letras, de las citas bibliográficas, de las citas no bibliográficas, los signos o palabras, los sonidos, las imágenes, las sensaciones, los idiomas, las ideas. me gusta el futbol, Italia -quizás por un accidente visual y una memoria recurrente-, el reggae, el mar, hablar porque si, la gente y sus universos -pluriversos-, algunos números, la espontaneidad de la vida. Más allá de cualquier otra construcción verbal, me gusta pensar que soy. Ya sin más adjetivos.".
