We complain easily irritated by trifles which we raise to an enormous category, a reflection of the prevailing narowness of concepts that are disproportionately valued for lack of breadth.Everything comes down to what I think, believead and value from an ego point of view. What is punishable ? What is considered impure ? Who knows how to perfectly distinguish the difference between right and wrong ? What can be done and what can not, what is acceptable and what unacceptable. some words, some tastes, a way of dressing. What´s wrong ? What is inappropiate ? for what reason ? every word, every expression, every action, is examined with a magnifying glass and the insignificant runs wild. overreacts, and then spend days and days turning around specific anecdotes treating the case and the alleged offenders as demons. We have drunk our understanding, we are in the era of exacerbated puritanism. Everything can be put into question, and if you don´t like what we say or do, the accusing finger wants to pass judgement and must be exemplary. There are moral policemen monitoring the dress, and other areas exactly the same. Is best to keep distances and don´t put the hands to according which places and nor interpret that we force someone. On the one hand we are not prepared to tolerate what is considered an infringement, but we are ready to consent the people similar like us. There are people that cross boundaries when the behavior becomes intimidating, invades the space of others, puts the integrity in risk, and every case must be observed with foundation. Never will be possible an unanimity when behind the crooshairs the criteria and values are sustained by morality, ethics or a determined religion. Costs a lot to be equanimous and unbiased when it is imbued with an often reductionist vision unable to expand the perspective and show more mercy instead the maximum severity. Are all laws fair ? Are all judge infallible ? If the laws have shortcomings or are incorrect. If the judges they are often driven by their own assesssments. If the fundamentalists are not impeccable, Then how should we proceed to restore purity ?
This blog is not intended to emulate the great classical thinkers, only a few exhibitions that can reach all kind of people.
