Topics, topics, topics....
Tammy writes today in her journal a topic very sad for me. Tammy thinks that the only thing that we know of Thailand is its prostitutes and that it is a poor country. People that think those things are people with a simple spirit. When you speak of a country, of a town, you should speak of his good things...and of his bad things. if your only thinks of topics, you are a simple man.
Topicals, topicals, All the people have topicals about others
peoples. But They are false things.
People say that spanish are vagrants; We say that portuguese
people are dirty pople and that germany guys are like
machines.
An old teacher (He died the last year) said me long time ago:
Don´t you want to be a brute? You must read, to travel and to
look.Ricardo, You must read the mithology, to read Homero
and Virgilio; You must know the old greek alphabet, to study
latin because the latin language is the mother of the universe.
You must speak english, a little french language and to
undestand italian words.and you must speak very good the
idiom that all the world calls spanish.You must read some
spanish writer, like Quevedo or Cervantes.if you read these
writes you´ll know the history of your country. Do you love
read? Then you must continue with Dante, Voltaire,
Shakespeare, Dickens, Tolstoi.and you never must forget that
the phylosophy are notes about works of Aristoteles or Platon.
But few topics resist a walk inside the Cathedral of Burgos, to look up in the Alhambra of Granada or to drink a beer under the Aqueduct of Segovia.
If you can, you travel.topicals don´t survive when you
examine pictures in the Prado Museum.; can you travel out
your country? You can know the colisseum of Rome, Paris, the
Great Baazar of Instambul, to visit the pyramids of Egypt and Mexico, to see jump to the Kangaroos in Australia, to see to play the All Black in New Zealand or to see the King Lion in Kenya... .if you can do everything (or you
dream that you can do) you´ll know the only country that We
are.
I never will read all the books, I never will travel for this
countries, but I dream every night..if I can dream that I see
Wien, Beijing or Sydney and Bangkok every night.
