One can be a "Cro-Magnon" being even a sea ​​lion on the Internet

I am a character (anthologist of time), you, the reader: we do not know our physical existence, beyond the letters. This is an advantage for both of you: you have a friend whom you can imagine without ties, judge without compromise —since only the full freedom of the spirit, the complicity of reason, bring us closer. You can go to him (if you wish to write) with all the ease of the soul, without fear of hurting or causing pain. I have in my favor the stripping of all particular life, going beyond any possible prejudice and giving you something that goes beyond me: the signs that the most in love beings have left as a written testament for human evolution. On the other hand, as a writer, I dream of you in the beings that touch my life, and, after them, I go looking for you traveling inside the skin of the character. Thus we enter into a disembodied influence that allows us to enjoy the privilege of having the two of us with a common space where we freely open our souls: the places of that intermediary, whom we lovingly call...

Someone said: the happiest days are those that make us wise, a basic principle to achieve the noble title of Human Being. Without the accumulated wisdom we would certainly have the evolutionary childhood of the man (and woman) of the nomadic tribes.

Of course, it is already impossible, no matter how illiterate one may be, to be a strict caveman, but do not think that being surrounded by the inventions accumulated over the centuries is automatically very far from the quaternary: one can be a "Cro-Magnon" being even a sea ​​lion on the Internet. Having access to information is not enough: you can know a lot and think very little; Wisdom is the ability to process the external signals that are received in life and turn them into the compass of the spirit. Growing up is not directly proportional to the number of books, hours of television, or “multimedia” that have been digested; It is necessary that this food —within which there may be a lot of disposable substance— be assimilated by the body, discriminating the useless matter from the vital sap, so that the body is nourished by its essence and then feeds our fructifying knowledge.

You will be able to find around the world a professor of very bad taste, superficial, or, on the contrary, the most humble peasant, illiterate, who amazes with his philosophizing; you will confirm then that the nobility of the soul is not sold in stores. That simple farmer, with very little schooling behind him, has grown up dialoguing with nature, has drunk the wine of meditation, in his interaction with other beings, and has tempered his spirit with imagination. Of course, the more access to information media you have, the more possibilities you have to acquire culture; but don't be fooled by goldfish, because in our time there is a universal market for primitive nonsense that comes in cellophane with an art and modernity label.

Wisdom is beyond the accumulation of information; it is the ability to assimilate it, to process it, and an attitude of incessant search and critical sense are necessary to take advantage of that learning optimally.

It was short yet still deep. For real, how do you do this ahah. I had to read the last paragraph twice in order to understand it. Or maybe I just lacked sleep last night. 😂
