The illustrated devil

October 27, 2021. No. 48

“I come from anywhere and I walk through all the centuries. I wander through streets and mountains, gestures and books, dreams and songs with the absolute freedom of the wandering spirit that keeps nothing for itself. I only pretend - it is my great ambition - that, after the inevitable coincidences and discrepancies in the path of a handful of reasons, you appear ready to shake this hand extended towards the last truth. I would like to have a face, but I am a son who filters and assimilates the thoughts of countless beings who have left some idea as a trace of their existence. I aspire to be deep and mischievous, in keeping with the noble heresy of those ghosts that animate me. I don't have a name either, but to save me from anonymity - and if you ever want to call me - let's say I am, in honor of an inseparable mutual friend ... " The illustrated devil

Thus begins a wonderful book, called "The Illustrated Devil." I am not sure if its version in the English language exists, as it is something deeply rooted in my country. Years ago it came into my life for the first time. He accompanied me throughout my adolescence. Its fundamental objective is that of human improvement in all senses. Promote human values, and meditate at every moment of life. It is a compilation of phrases and thoughts that are analyzed and always look for a positive meaning with teaching. The book was formed later, since each chapter of it was published in a national magazine, under that pseudonym, so no one knows who its author is.

I live to love

“Weaknesses: You didn't have any. I had one: I loved it. " Bertolt Brecht. If you ever thought that loving is a weakness, you are wrong. Surely the author was angry for a love that was not reciprocated at that time. Love makes life more fluid, more pleasant. Who does not loves is already dead. And this is the reason why we must love with all our might. It is never too late to go out and look for love, wherever it is, above all else. From a very young age in our lives love is instilled in us. First, love our parents. Then perhaps the love of a pet, if you have the privilege of owning one. Already then you start to fall in love in real life. And you start the anguish and disappointment if you are not reciprocated. But in turn, life itself begins if that person you love corresponds to you. Then heaven and earth come together and the universe is reduced to a kiss.

"What is done without love is doomed to failure." This is totally true. Imagine that if you do not put effort into the task you are developing, it will not lead to anything good. You will lose the quality that is required to do your best. I have seen simple tasks turn into a headache because it is not given adequate attention, and it is done without enthusiasm or love to tackle it. In case you are not willing to do it or you are not excited about something, do not try it. It is better to let that moment pass and when you are in the mood, face it, then you will be grateful for its result.

"Those who come to believe that they have already reached the top of love begin to roll downhill" and this is certainly true as a house. You can never pretend that you got everything and that nothing matters anymore after you conquered the love of your life. It is at that moment that the long journey of making love flourish, day after day, truly begins. Dedicate yourself completely to the person you love. Show him that the world is too small for so much love that you have to offer him. The question is in the small details. Always remember that "whoever wants to learn from love will never stop being a student."

"Laughter is worth so much because there is crying." And indeed, when we are in mortal danger, it is that life passes before our eyes and we wish we had always loved in all the time we have lost. So always try to do good, no matter who the person you are doing the favor is. It will not be the first or the last time that the favor returns to you reciprocally and with much more reward than before. Do not try to do harm to anyone. Karma exists and one day it will come for you. Being happy, loving, respecting others, even if you do not share their criteria, and understanding that each person is a world apart, is something that will help you live better with yourself, in harmony.

Who asks for love must inspire respect

“I am all ink marks on blank pages. I just want to get close to you to reveal the secrets found in time. There is often talk a lot about the differences of each era and almost always today is defined as very modern and distant from yesterday. Some proclaim that with the passing of generations dreams are mutilated; However, not everyone was passionate in the past, as in the present there is no shortage of those who are capable of giving themselves entirely for a sketch of illusion. What happens is that, at all times, the great powers impose their interests socially, but what transcends them is the almost marginal poetry of the most crystalline spirits.

For centuries the human has been the same: love versus lack of love. It can be expressed in different ways, but it is always about those who seek within themselves - in the battle against their own darkness - the beauty with which to look and give themselves, and those who seek outside the palliative to spiritual lack because the light of the soul languishes. . Come with me to this bend in time, take the risk of traveling mentally with a friend who calls himself ... "

"To say that one can love a person for a lifetime is like declaring that a candle can stay lit for as long as an existence lasts." Leo Tolstoy. Imagine, nothing is eternal. There are always various issues that can lead a relationship to fall into temptation or even lose love towards the partner. We are human, and we can make mistakes. But while you are next to that loved one, convey all your desire to grow together. Remember that love only happens when each part of the couple offers itself completely to the other.

When someone approaches your life for monetary reasons or your economic situation, which is favorable, that love fades over time. It does not exist, it is ephemeral. When the situation turns for the worse, and it will eventually at some point, then love will go with it, with the same speed with which it came. The veil of the eyes will go away, with the wind, and a new search for where to live better, and not where love is. In this case, that person is least interested in love.

Does the satisfaction of love kill love?

“We are going to share - like fish - a world of silences; this intimate space of pages full of signs that seek you: letters that could reach your reason or go into oblivion.

I am an eternal walker who wanders in the footsteps of men (and women, of course) looking for a path in time to reach ... I don't know: good, honesty, the most complete freedom, simplicity, the kingdom of the truth. I purify myself in the temptation to extend a hand to you to climb for ideas to the top of that magical mountain that is human work.

You will suspect, not without reason, that I am a dreamer; that is what it is all about, that you undertake with me the challenge of challenging the passing clouds of despair. I already know that the best dream is a perennial destiny, but not because it is ineffable does not stop aspiring to the horizon: "it is not the goal that matters, traveler, it is the path."

If you are ready for the noble adventure, narrow your spirit ... "

Love is like a stairway to heaven, it does not have a final rung. It doesn't exist, so trying to find it is in vain. It is like a small plant that must be watered every second to prevent it from wilting. Anyway, don't lose hope. Every failed relationship is a small step toward the experience. So, if the road is full of stones, it does not matter. At some point, it will be flat and you will find your better half.

This is it for today. If you made it this far and liked what you read, leave your thumb up.
