Names

When you want to talk without having anything to say, you say nothing. Actually, at that moment you seek to be heard, not to talk.

If you ever have a costume party, go dressed as yourself; you’ll see that no one will recognize you.

Aren’t people wonderful? Each person with their own story and all those things that happened just at that moment to make us the person we are now.

Let’s play a mental game. Choose a person or living being you met after becoming aware of the world. Got it? Seriously, think about it carefully. Now imagine the years before that meeting. Think about that person or animal. Wow, they didn’t exist, isn’t that wild? But wait, if it’s a little sibling, for example, they literally didn’t exist. They weren’t in this world yet. But the craziest thing of all is that in your mind, they didn’t exist either. The concept you had of that name (let’s say Martín or Agustina) didn’t exist yet. You heard that name and didn’t associate it with everything you associate it with now. Wowwwwwwww!

Now stop, imagine all those people you’re going to meet and have a connection with, no matter how tiny (like lending you a bus ticket) and who are out there living their lives as if nothing. You’re reading this now, while that person is eating a sandwich, and without knowing it, in a few days, months, or years, you’ll meet on a street to shout at each other because you ran a red light. Wowwwwwww!

Back to our point, aren’t people wonderful?
