Circles


So one day when I had nothing at all to do I decided to waste my time in this really cool web page that I was adviced to visit www.estoyencontacto.net well it's in spanish but man it's just so cool, it's all about philosophy and interesting stuff, like radio programs transmitted trough this awesome thing that is the comuter.
Ok let's cut to the chase, basically what I'm trying to talk about today is closing cycles, ending circles, it seems like all of our lives we spend our time and energy chasing things, situations, people, opportunities, and living our own just-like-everyone else's live's history.
It is really easy for us mortals (funny) to fall again and again at the same points, make the same mistakes, find ourselves in the same situations over and over again... like a neverending fall or disease.
I have a physics example for what I am saying, imagine you are driving a car really really fast, and you are going around circles, there is only so much velocity you can make your car go at before being shot out of the circle isn't it?
So, is there only so much you can do before actually breaking away from a circle? cycle? is there a limit to our stupidity? (notice that stupidity in English is softer than it's homologue in Spanish)
In the program that I heard they said something that got my attention, and it was something like: "before setting us free from a situation (bad situation) we are in and get into another (hoping a good one), it is IMPERATIVE for us to STOP going around the circle, cycle".
It is easy to say, "yeah, of course duh!" but how many times have I (let's use me as today's example shall we?) tried to get out of a troublesome situation just to fall in another (even worse) one?? how many times have i tried to convince myself that reggaetton is devil's music (I do like it ok??) just to go back to dancing it?? (man i am in such a good mood that is hard to keep track of what I'm trying to state, excusez-moi s'il vous plaƮt)
But the truth is that we are weak, we like our confort zones too bad to let go of them, we are usually so accostumed to some problems (some really serious) that we just dont care in the end about them, we are let's call it blindfolded by habits... which takes me to say that we are definately CREATURES OF HABIT. (notice I restrained myself from saying HOBBIT CREATURES)
Can we change in the end? Are we able as human beings to turn our lives around from one say to the other? Can we fool our costumes and habits? and if we do... are we still ourselves? everything is related I am realizing...
To break out of the cycles, circles, it takes a whole bunch of will and effort I know, but it is worthy... man I am writing like somebody died and I've been thinking about life too much...
Excuse once again my lack of impersonality these days, but man I need to find a logical explanation to so many questions....

Its like when our feet in dance class were in deep pain... we pinched our ears. [it actually worked]. I too agree that human beings are slaves of the routine, for everything... but if we weren't, then we would be nomads =)

but aret we actually because of eence noads n the end? isnt it actually a mistake in evolution that we have created our so called societies? circles

Well i dont think its a mistake, human beings are social by nature, and have the need to settle down at some point, or so it is said

Calm like water?

So hello kids. Last night life gave me a pleasant surprise; I went for the weekend (I am still in my weekend) to Santa Cruz to visit my family, well life, time, and the awesome Cochabamba weather made my day, made my week, made my year I think. I am totally obsessed with the elements (fire, water, air, earth, etc) and last night was WATER'S night. I cannot say I was reborn like what whappened before. But man did I feel like I was high? yeah I did, it rained a lot, literally a lot, the roads were like pools, if you walked for about 3 sec under the rain and you would be soaked, I am not exagerating, It also GRANIZO qhich is the closest thing we have to snowing... I was listening to my music as loud as my ears could stand. (Panic!) out of masoquism you would say I was tempted to dance and get soaked, did I do it? yes! yeah, everybody just looked at me with the weirdest faces ever, but i didnt care. This time my communion with the elements wasn't as pure as the last one, I didn...

Been a while now I guess. Today I am going to have a quick thought on an intresting story: Peter Pan. The kid never grows up, there's been so many ways of looking at it, of thinking of the plot and images used in the story. Much has been said about the meaning of the whole thing, but I want to finally write my poor thoughts (by poor I mean I am probably mistaken or overthinling the whole deal) about this tale. Peter Pan represents the inmature part of a person, who no matter how much time has already gone by, never seems to grow up, always keeping thatsmile and the belief in life, he's got so much faith in the infinitepossibilities of living that he's sure he can fly and indeed he does! The lost boys I can't quite figure out, they are kinda bizarre to me, I can't associate them with anyone I know or any role actually so if somebody has an idea let me know. Wendy, of course, she acts not only as the mother of the lost boys and Peter, but she also has the feminin, wan...
