JP 4/2013

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a life time. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is boring and a waste of time

Carta de un suicida

 Junto al cadáver de un suicida se encontró una carta explicatoria
diciendo: ‘No se culpe a nadie de mi muerte.

‘Me quito la vida porque dos días más que viviese sería mucho
martirio: Tuve la desgracia de casarme con una viuda. Esta tenía una hija.
De haberlo sabido, nunca me hubiera casado con ella.

‘Mi padre, para mayor desgracia, era viudo y se enamoró y se casó
con la hija de mi mujer. De manera que mi mujer era suegra de su suegro.

‘Mi hijastra se convirtió en mi madrastra y mi padre al mismo
tiempo ¡¡¡era mi yerno!!! Al poco tiempo, mi madrastra trajo al mundo una
niña que era mi hermana, y a la vez era nieta de mi mujer, de manera que
era abuelo de mi hermana!

‘Después, mi mujer trajo al mundo un niño que, como era hermano de
mi madrastra, era cuñado de mi padre, nieto de su hermana ¡¡¡y mi tío!!!
Mi mujer era nuera de su hija, yo soy en cambio padrastro de mi madrastra,
y mi padre y su mujer son mis hijastros, mi hijo es mi bisnieto y tío de su
tía. Además, ¡¡¡yo soy mi propio abuelo!!!

‘ME DESPIDO DE ESTE MUNDO, PORQUE NO SE QUIÉN SOY, Y DE REPENTE,.. PODRÍA SER PRIMO DE LOPEZ OBRADOR ASÍ QUE ANTES DE QUE ESO SUCEDA, PREFERÍ QUITARME LA VIDA.

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle. — ~Ernest Hemingway
People sometimes sneer at those who run every day, claiming they’ll go to any length to live longer. But don’t think that’s the reason most people run. Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest. If you’re going to while away the years, it’s far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive then in a fog, and I believe running helps you to do that. Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that’s the essence of running, and a metaphor for life — and for me, for writing as whole. I believe many runners would agree — ― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
Struggling and suffering are the essence of a life worth living. If you’re not pushing yourself beyond the comfort zone, if you’re not demanding more from yourself - expanding and learning as you go - you’re choosing a numb existence. You’re denying yourself an extraordinary trip. — ― Dean Karnazes, Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner

Agradecido con la vida
