156 Shun y Mime

Mime - ¿Por qué insiste en pelear?, ¿Por qué Andrómeda?

Shun - Ya te lo he dicho, debo rescatar a Atena y proteger esta tierra.

Mime - ¿acaso crees que podrás proteger a esta pobre y miserable tierra? ¿Crees que esta tierra merece que apueste tu pobre vida? ¿O crees que llegará el momento en que haya paz sin pelear y sin delitos? Acaso lo crees? Piénsalo.

Shun - Este sujeto es distinto a aquellos con los que he combatido. Lee todo lo que hay en mi mente. 

Mime - Tú has herido a muchas personas en la guerra de las 12 casas, Andrómeda. Y tú también resultaste herido. Y ¿Qué fue lo que conseguiste? Sólo otra pelea. 

Shun - Es cierto. Me pregunto cuántas personas habré de lastimar. La justicia no es una excusa. Lo cierto es que hiero a muchas personas. Incluyendo a algunos de mis amigos. Seiya, Saori ¿es verdad?. ¿Será cierto lo que me dijo Mime el resultado de una pelea es otra pelea? La paz no llegará aún cuando nos esforcemos. Dímelo, Seiya. Saori. Shiryu. Hyoga. ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué no hablan? ¿Por qué pelean?

Mime - Andrómeda, creo que podrás dejar de pelear sólo cuando hayas muerto. 

Ikki - Shun, no hay respuesta. 

Mime - ¿Qué es este cosmos?. 

Shun - Hermano!

Ikki - Lo único que podemos hacer es confiar en nuestro futuro. Es muy difícil lo sé. Pero nada habrá de quedar si renunciamos a todo pensando así. De eso estoy seguro. Nuestra lucha no será inútil. Mantente firme Shun, todo terminará si te rindes ahora. 

Shun - Aún no logro entenderlo, pero creo en lo que creo mi hermano. Bien Mime, te venceré! Prepárate para luchar conmigo!

155 Orfeo y Eurídice

Orfeo - Eurídice te amo, incluso aquí en el infierno. Créeme Eurídice, te amo. Aunque tuve que traicionar a Atena, deseaba tu alma de regreso. Esa es la verdad. Sin embargo, cuando una flor muere nunca vuelve a florecer, la gente, las aves, los insectos, incluso las estrellas que brillan intensamente, la vida ocurre solamente una vez. Por eso es tan hermosa y preciada. Comprendes Eurídice, estaba equivocado al querer traer a alguien de la muerte. Me equivoque al desear tal cosa. 

Eurídice - Orfeo.

Orfeo - Eurídice.

Eurídice - Te agradezco lo que has hecho por mí, las melodías que tocaste todo este tiempo. Gracias a tu lira pude seguir viviendo incluso en este estado. Pero ya es suficiente.

Orfeo - Eurídice.

Eurídice - Orfeo. Adios. Y muchas gracias. Adios.

154 Manigoldo y Sage

Manigoldo - Dónde estoy? Qué es este lugar? 

* Se ve una fila de cadáveres caminando hacia un precipicio. *

Manigoldo - No! Deténganse! Qué es lo que les pasa?

Sage - La muerte. Hay tantas muertes en nuestro mundo que llenan estas filas infinitas. 

Manigoldo - Dime una cosa, ¿encuentran la paz al caer ahí?

Sage - Jamás. Abajo su único destino es el inframundo. Mejor dicho el Infierno. 

Manigoldo - ¿Infierno? No puede ser! Quizá sufrieron mucho al momento de su muerte. Y al parecer aún lo hacen. Pero ¿tienen que sufrir por toda la eternidad? No te quedes ahí patriarca, haz algo! ¿No podemos deternerlos? ¿No podemos detener esas líneas?

* Se avienta para intentar detener una joven que está por caer. Y cae con ella lográndose sostener apenas del borde. *

Sage - Manigoldo. Suéltala ya, déjala ir.

Manigoldo  - pero…

Sage - De todos modos ella ya está muerta. Aunque la salves de esa fosa no vivirá. 

Manigoldo - Pero, sufrirá más si cae ahí, patriarca. Sufrió al morir, estoy seguro. Pero no permitiré que lo haga eternamente. No voy a permitirlo. 

Sage - Déjala ya, Manigoldo. 

Manigoldo - ¿Qué sentido tiene vivir entonces? ¿Todo mi pueblo sufrirá igual? Si es así como termina la vida, entonces ¿todo mi pueblo sufrirá igual? Si termina así la vida, entonces ¿qué sentido tiene convertirme en caballero?

* Cae la joven. *

Manigoldo - Sólo siento una profunda angustia. 

Sage - Una profunda angustia. No lo des por hecho así nada más. Respóndeme esto, ¿ya olvidaste la razón por la cual te traje al santuario?. No fue porque quisiera enseñarte sobre la angustia o desesperanza en el campo de batalla. 

* Sube a Manigoldo. *

Sage - Fue para que pudieras vivir, Manigoldo. 

Manigoldo - No entiendo nada, ¿cómo podré vivir después de lo que he visto?

Sage - Por esa razón luchamos contra el dios Hades, aquel que reina el inframundo. Y contra todos aquellos que tratan a los humanos como si fueran simples peones. Por eso debes sentir esa vida, Manigoldo, y el universo que hay en ella. No dejes de sentirla y valorarla. Y así derrotaremos a la muerte misma. 

* De vuelta al campo de batalla contra Tanathos. *

Sage - ¿Angustiante? No uses esa palabra tan a la ligera. Aún hay esperanza. 

Manigoldo - Ahora comprendo maestro, tienes toda mi confianza.

151 I know that I shall never

I know. I know that I shall never again meet anything or anybody who will inspire me with passion. You know, it's quite a job starting to love somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness. There is even a moment, in the very beginning, when you have to jump across a precipice: if you think about it you don't do it. I know I'll never jump again.

Well yeah, and I’m sad, but at the same time I’m really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It’s like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin’ really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I’m feelin’ is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid.

122 What's the most a single, average person can do?

What's the most a single, average person can do to help as many people as much as possible?

Consecrate your life to being the embodiment of your own highest ideals. The only thing that is consistent in your life is you. By making this thing, your 'self', as insightful, compassionate, useful, productive, loving, learned, determined . . .[virtue X] you guarantee that all events and relationships you engage in will have this positive aspect. You can't control things beyond yourself, you can only contribute. The quality of your contribution is directly proportional to the quality of your person. Any specific set of actions, philosophies, philanthropies, 'causes' or the like are impermanent and only useful in a proper context and application. Therefore identification with or association of these activities as 'the best' will simply prevent you from actually being in the moment and responding, you will be reacting to your own idealized mental landscape. Moreover your knowledge of the impact of your actions is severely limited. However we might be aware of the impact of our actions in ways we can understand the butterfly affect of causality extends far beyond our awareness. Furthermore ideas are viral in their spreading. If others observe in you the embodiment of ideals they value and they see the effects of this in and through your actions they too may be inspired to refine themselves. This refracts throughout society as we inspire each other to evolve ourselves. To have a more evolved society we need more developed people to create it. To facilitate the development of others we can only lead by example, share the notes of our own growth journey and support each other.

117 I wish I could tell her how wrong she was

My wife was struggling with depression for about 6 months. She attempted overdosing in December, but I found out and called an ambulance. Yesterday she jumped off the roof of our apartment building while I was out. I don’t know why I’m writing this. It might be to prevent others from doing this, but I think it is a more selfish desire to just say it
I found out yesterday that she stopped taking her medication for about 7-10 days because the side effects were unbearable. I don’t mean to diminish this, but I believe it was mostly in her head. She operated normally as far as I could tell, but was fixated on this idea. I noticed she got worse recently but I believed it was because she was putting pressure on herself to get back to work. I guess I was wrong.
She thought I would be better off without her. That the pain I was going through watching her was too much for me. I truly believe that when she jumped she was partially doing it to free me. I wish I could tell her how wrong she was.
Now I feel trapped. I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel for myself but I also don’t see suicide as an option. How can I put my loved ones through what I’m now going through? I can only hope that the saying time heals all wounds is correct.

You give up the world line by line. Stoically. And then one day you realize that your courage is farcical. It doesn’t mean anything.

Why should I contribute to making it harder for others to acknowledge their depression and seek help? I know what has held me back all these years. Would people think less of me? Would I seem to be tainted, reduced in their eyes, someone with an inner failing whom no one would want to hire or with whom no one would want to marry or have children? Would even friends start tip-toeing around my psyche? Would colleagues trust me with responsibility?

It's like, the same shit just happens over and over and, then in a week it just all resets until- it happens again. Every week it's kind of the same story in a different way but it, it just keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

103 Do you still believe in love?

Tu pregunta me agarró fuera de lugar.

Respuesta corta: sí (?)
Respuesta larga: no sé

Creo en el poder de la compañía incondicional, en la intención de que a alguien le vaya bien, en hacer lo posible para que alguien esté bien.

Mi ex, antes de que fuera mi novio, era mi mejor amigo. Compartíamos casi todo, queríamos lo mejor para el otro, nos bastaba con estar presente con el otro para estar agusto. Si me preguntaras en el apogeo de la relación si lo amaba, sin duda que sí. Pero ya cerca del final no sé. Todavía ahora lo quiero mucho y espero poder re-establecer alguna relación con él. Vivimos muchas cosas buenas, malas y más importante, intermedias que me es difícil separar el amor de la costumbre.

Veo a mis papás y me queda claro que el amor existe. Ellos están el uno para el otro de maneras poco objetivas. Dejan todo por el otro. El amor debe existir, pero no sé en qué forma. Lo mismo para algunos amigos.

Mi psiquiatra dice que suelo sobre-analizar las cosas. Pensar demasiado en un tema al punto en que no llego a ninguna conclusión. Y sin duda tiene razón, al menos en parte. Ese es un gran problema que tengo – pensar y repensar al punto de la inacción.

Pero creo que más bien me gusta tener la mayor cantidad de información posible antes de tomar una postura. Y por supuesto que reconozco que puedo estar mal o, al menos, mal informado. Pero no me gusta decantarme por una u otra postura así nomás porque sí. Creo que es el ingeniero en mí: pensar, considerar, alimentar el modelo de análisis, interpretar los resultados y repetir (ad nauseam). Necesito pensar una respuesta más concreta antes de decirte qué pienso.

Ahorita no te puedo dar una respuesta, pero te puedo dar un divague (jaja). Pero debo agradecer la pregunta porque género muchas inquietudes que debo resolver en el tiempo.

- No… bueno, sí. O más bien no sé… te digo luego

Ms. Morell: Like you're drowning?
Stiles Stilinski: Yeah.
Ms. Morell: So, if you're drowning and you're trying to keep your mouth closed until that very last moment. But if you choose to not open your mouth, to not let the water in.
Stiles Stilinski: You do it anyway. It's a reflex.
Ms. Morell: But if you hold off until that reflex kicks in. You have more time, right?
Stiles Stilinski: Not much time.
Ms. Morell: But more time to fight your way to the surface.
Stiles Stilinski: I guess.
Ms. Morell: More time to be rescued.
Stiles Stilinski: More time to be in agonizing pain. Did you forget about the part where you feel like your head's exploding?
Ms. Morell: If it's about survival, isn't a little agony worth it?
Stiles Stilinski: What if it just gets worse. What if it's agony now and then... then it's just hell later on?

The nightmares we most want to wake up from. The memories we wish we could change. The secrets we feel like we have to keep, are the hardest to walk away from. The good stuff? The pictures in our mind that fade away the fastest? Those pieces of you it feels the easiest to lose. But maybe I don’t want to forget. Maybe that’s what today is all about. Forgetting, right?

If the condition had been new, or more localized, he might have understood, but loneliness both encompassed his life and overreached it.

Maybe there aren't any such things as good friends or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you're hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they're always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that's what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.

083 On "fixing" a disability

Disabled dude speaking from personal experience.

The main thing is that when you grow up with a disability, your disability becomes intrinsically linked to your identity. You grow up very clearly different from your peers, and have to come to terms with it. Other people identify you as "the guy in the wheelchair" and "my disabled friend". You have trouble dealing with things other people don't, and the fact that you figure out how to deal with it anyway becomes a source of "inspiration" to others. Children point to you on the bus. Strangers walk up to you and call you cripple or midget to your face.

These things all hammer home that you're different. Every single day. So it becomes a part of you. It's a huge part of your identity. You are disabled. You are different. You form communities around it where you know you don't have to deal with the dumb bullshit of able-bodied folks.

You eventually stop being bitter and angry. You embrace it. After all, its a daily part of your life, it'd be stupid to reject it. You finally learn to love yourself. You are disabled. You are okay. There's nothing wrong with you.

You spend most of your early life trying to figure out how the fuck to deal with it and navigate life and be ok with yourself. So when someone gets their legs lengthened or whatever other procedure, it can feel like cheating. Like they cheated. Like... You had to go through all this fucking dog shit just to be ok, and they skipped it. They skipped all the hard parts.

And then you add to that the fact that socio-economic status and economic mobility for disabled people is absolutely fucking awful and that these life changing procedures, pretty much no matter the disability, are all hundreds of thousands of dollars and you have a recipe for bitterness and resentment.

It feels like...erasure. And some sort of weird eugenics adjacent...thing.

I personally have no issue with these types of procedures, but they should be free along with all other medical procedures and shit.

082 But tonight he's alive

081 I don't want things to change

There's something I've been wanting to talk to you both about. I know this is a difficult conversation, but I care about you both very much. And I know that you care about each other very much. And that's why it's important that we set these boundaries moving forward, so we can build an environment where we all feel comfortable trusted and open to sharing our feelings. Feelings. Feelings. Jesus. The truth is, for so long, I'd forgotten what those even were. I've been stuck in one place, in a cave, you might say. A deep, dark cave. And then, I left some Eggos out in the woods, and you came into my life and for the first time in a long time, I started to feel things again. I started to feel happy. But, lately, I guess I've been feeling distant from you. Like you're you're pulling away from me or something. I miss playing board games every night, making triple-decker Eggo extravaganzas at sunrise, watching westerns together before we doze off. But I know you're getting older. Growing. Changing. And I guess if I'm being really honest, that's what scares me. I don't want things to change. So, I think maybe that's why I came in here, to try to maybe stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were. But I know that's naive. It's just not how life works. It's moving. Always moving, whether you like it or not. And, yeah, sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's sad. And sometimes it's surprising. Happy. So, you know what? Keep on growing up, kid. Don't let me stop you. Make mistakes, learn from 'em, and when life hurts you, because it will, remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you're out of that cave. But, please, if you don't mind, for the sake of your poor old dad, keep the door open three inches.
