Description
Dies Slowly...
"Dies slowly he who transforms himself in slave of habit, repeating every day the same itineraries, who does not change brand, does not risk to wear a new color or do not talk to strangers.
Dies slowly he who makes of television his guru.
Dies slowly he who avoids a passion, who prefers black on white and the dots on the "is" instead of a whirlwind of emotions, just those that recover the gleam in his eyes, smiles from the yawns, hearts from the stumbling and feelings.
Dies slowly he who does not overthrow the table when is unhappy at work, who does not risk the certain for the uncertain to go after a dream, who is not allowed at least once in life, get away from sensible advice.
Dies slowly he who does not travel, does not read, does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself.
Dies slowly he who destroys his self-love, who would not let themselves be helped.
Dies slowly he who passes his days complaining of his bad luck or the incessant rain.
Dies slowly he who abandons a project before starting it, no question about a subject that ignores or does not respond when asked about something he knows.
Let's avoid death in small doses, remembering always that to be alive demands an achievement far greater than the simple fact of breathing. Only a burning patience will have achieved a splendid happiness. "
(Pablo Neruda)
