Nu cred ca poemul asta isi are locul DOAR la sectia de poezii
'if' by rudyard kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
Pentru ca afirma niste valori pentru care merita trecut (si) oceanul....
In ce priveste comparatiile pentru a-si fixa gradul de multumire/fericire ...trec peste asta. Multi dau definitia exilului romanesc ca fiind "economic" in ideea ca am plecat spre mai bine...si acest mai bine de multe ori este raportat la filmul "Dallas"...
Poate comparatiile ar fi mai bine sa fie facute ca in zicala quebecoise : "quand on se compare..on se console".. Asta daca suntem vreodata tentati.
In ce priveste bogatia si redistribuirea ei ..e probabil ca aici in Québec , cu toate derapajele tipice socialismului, sa fie una dintre societatile civile care se apropie cel mai mult de "idealurile intinate"..E clar ca face fericirea unora si irita pe altii..
E clar insa ca , odata aici, urcand pe treptele piramidei lui Maslow..sa avem exigente diferite..Macar daca am fi asa de exigenti cu noi insine! ;D
Pentru studiu didactic aveti
Aici un site cred ca reprezentativ al unui punct de vedere ...marginal . Astept reactii!
