Rebellion of the masses.

 Sorprenderse, extrañarse, es comenzar a entender. Es el deporte y el lujo específico del intelectual. Por eso su gesto gremial consiste en mirar al mundo con los ojos dilatados por la extrañeza. Todo en el mundo es extraño y es maravilloso para unas pupilas bien abiertas. Esto, maravillarse, es la delicia vedada al futbolista, y que, en cambio, lleva al intelectual por el mundo en perpetua embriaguez de visionario. Su atributo son los ojos en pasmo. Por eso los antiguos dieron a Minerva la lechuza, el pájaro con los ojos siempredeslumbrados.
La rebeión de las masas, José Ortega y Gasset

Got this conversation with a co-worker about how I saw the water in a loo moving back and forth in the 21th store of a building here in Panama City. Probably the building got anti sismic bases and the whole structure was moving… wao.

My co-worker mocked me.  Told me about what was the end on being fascinated about that. And told me that being fascinated about it, wasn’t good for my develpment as a person. And  I rememberd Mr. Gasset and tought Ill about this  guy. I was getting a lecture from a  football player. So sad for my co-worker way of thinking.

Fascination about the butterfly on the morning, in our day to day basis is what let us be like kids. We should be like kids. We should be like kids.

We should be like kids.
