El teatro de la vida

Veo a la gente, en masculino y en femenino, en mayúsculas y en minúsculas, en el teatro de la vida. Unos permanecen en el vestíbulo, en las salas de espera, y otros, en tanto, en los camerinos. La mayoría son espectadores que revisan sus boletos numerados o sin folio para las butacas, los palcos y las gradas, donde planean quedarse, si es posible, la mayor parte de sus existencias, siempre que se sientan estables y seguros. Quizá, los que permanezcan en las gradas, desearán ocupar butacas más cómodas. Los que se encuentran en las butacas, anhelarán, tal vez, escalar a los palcos. Y los dueños de los palcos ambicionarán, probablemente, apropiarse del teatro. Los actores, en menor cantidad, pisarán el escenario, unos con papeles excelentes, otros con participaciones mediocres o secundarias y algunos más con pésimos resultados. Habrá unos…

Hold the tree planting: Protect ecosystems first for maximum carbon storage, study says

“I am really happy this paper was published,” said Forrest Fleischman, associate professor at the University of Minnesota, U.S., who was not involved in the study. “A huge amount of time, energy, and rhetoric is being put into restoration as a low-cost climate solution, whereas scientists have been saying that protecting existing ecosystems is the high-priority climate solution. It is generally much cheaper and more reliable than restoring damaged ones. What the hierarchical framework helps with is in making the cost-benefit calculation on these different investments clearer.”

When Is Someday?

just drive, will you?

Someday at Christmas, men won’t be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas, there’ll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life’s really worth
There’ll be peace on earth

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time

Someday at Christmas, we’ll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
A world where people care

Someday at Christmas, there’ll be no tears
When all men are equal and none have fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where people…

it’s darkest before the dawn

Lolsys Library

The phraseit’s darkest before the dawnmeans that things always seem the worst right before they improve.

I think a lot of us are going right now “Dear god, that darkest part of the night is taking a long time”.

I am refusing to let the darkness take me, especially since I’m asleep usually at that time.

This is going to be a short post, but it is darkest before the dawn. Sadly, there is something rotten in this world, and it is not COVID. It should be COVID, it really should, but it is not. COVID is not the worst thing on this planet, it’s us, it’s Humans.

HOWEVER…

There are good humans, there are good beings out there. You are one of them! And that, we need to remember and hold onto. I think the biggest problem is, the worst of us, have the biggest platforms.

But…

L’ipertimesia e l’incredibile memoria autobiografica

le pagine dei nostri libri

L’ipertimesiaosindrome ipertimesica è una condizione in cui l’individuo possiede una memoria autobiografica tale da permettere il ricordo di gran parte degli eventi vissuti nella propria esistenza.

Le persone ipertimesiche impiegano molto del loro tempo nel ricordare eventi del proprio passato ed hanno una grande capacità di ricordare dettagliatamente anche eventi specifici e quasi ogni giorno della propria esistenza, così come gli eventi pubblici che abbiano per lui un significato personale. I ricordi per loro sono associazioni incontrollabili e vivide rappresentazioni che emergono inconsapevolmente.

L’ipertimesia è però diversa dalle altre forme di memoria eccezionale, caratterizzate da strategie finalizzate al ricordo di lunghe serie di informazioni. I ricordi richiamati dall’ipertimesico tendono a essere personali, autobiografici e relativi sia a eventi significativi della propria vita, sia a eventi del tutto banali. Questo processo avviene involontariamente, ed è automatico il richiamo dei ricordi stessi.

L’ipertimesico possiede un calcolo calendariale simile…
