En todo caso,
decidí pensar un poco sobre el tema de cómo se va a acabar el mundo…
Si alguna
vez habéis vivido al Este de Viena (Austria), probablemente habréis oído hablar de Nastradin Hodja. Y si habéis nacido al otro lado del Bósforo –
seguramente. Ese peculiar personaje,
representante de la sabiduría Oriental tenía una respuesta bastante
interesante a mi pregunta: “La mitad del
mundo se acabaría cuando se muera mi mujer, y el mundo entero se acabará cuando me muera yo.” No sé si
aquel señor quería tanto a su mujer, o sólo estaba muy acostumbrado a vivir con
ella, pero dijo una cosa muy relevante - Nuestro mundo empieza y acaba con nosotros,
con nuestro “ego”:
Y para los que no
están tan centrados en si mismos y sufren al ver tanto injusticia, horrores,
violencia, pobreza, guerras, hipocresía,
avaricia, indiferencia, soledad etc., citaré a mi hermana, que hace una semana
dijo : “Espero que el mundo de verdad se acabe el día 21 para que el día siguente renazca en una
versión mejor.” Eso espero yo, también…
If there was someone hidden in a bunker, I
don't know. At least, my posh friends heading to the CH boutique to buy Christmas
presents didn't seem really to worry.
However, I decided to explore the idea of
the end of the world..
If you have ever lived somewhere on the East
of Vienna (Austria), probably you've heard about Nastradin Hodja. If you were
born across the Bosporus- definitely. This
peculiar character, embodying the essence of the Oriental wisdom, had a
very interesting answer to my question: “My world will be half gone, when my
wife dies, and the world will end when I die.”
I am not sure if he was really in love with
his wife or just was accustomed to live with her, but at least he said something
quite relevant: Our world starts and finishes with us, with our "ego".
For those, who are not so self-centered, and who do really suffer witnessing so much injustice, horrors, violence, poverty, wars, hypocrisy, greed, indifference, loneliness, etc., I would quote my sister, who made a wonderful statement a week ago: "I hope the world would end on 21st, just to be reborn the day after in a better version." So do I…
