It happened that a wise man was in the middle of the path; his clothing was somewhat old, he looked clean but disheveled; he was walking up and down, he would sit, stand up, he would laugh apparently for no reason; and because of his appearance, he was called the madman. He also had an answer for everything and for this reason, he was called the wise man, and since nobody could understand him, he was called the wise madman. One day, the wise madman was walking along the city and a few intellectuals, thinkers, and philosophers, who did not have anything better to do, decided to make fun of him. So they said : " Hey, today is a hot day, and we are under the shade, come and chat a little with us, here we are discussing about happiness and we want to know your opinion." And the wise madman said...continued>

" Good, I always have the best disposition to share with you." Then, the philosophers asked him in a very ironic way: " Where is the secret of the happiness found?" While they were thinking, "What can this poor , simpleton, madman know?" And the such called madman, answered: " Oh, that is a good question, but the answer is too evident, nevertheless, nobody can see it, the reason is that it is an answer in stages, if you go up one step, you will be able to go to the next, then to the other, and you will find the happiness on the top." They said: " Be more specific, we do not know what you mean." The madman said: " There are stages in the happiness, what is fundamental and necessary is to find errors, defects, problems and lacks." Ha, ha, ha. They laughed and said...continued>

" How funny, the happiness needs of defects, now." The madman said: " So that something exists, it first must not exist, and only when it has not existed, the biggest lack is found. If I do not have water to drink and I am thirsty, then, I will look for it and if I make the right effort, I will also value it. If I do not know my limits, I cannot look for solutions, nevertheless, this is very easy but happiness is much more complex, then the second stage is a double stage, is like a jump; but in the first stage I have lacks and in the second stage, I will look for solutions, but what is sure is that I cannot solve all of them." The philosophers laughed again and said: " But that is conformism. How can you say that happiness is that?" The wise madman said...continued>

" Men, usually want to live their whole lives in one day, they want everything very fast, and taken to extremes, they eat intensely, they desire intensely, they work intensely, they have fun intensely, but so intensely that it is not intense any more; then, they do not take a moment to realize that they are alive; and everything is so fast that life goes by too quickly. And when you realize that you will not be able to overcome your problems in the totality, you also realize that you will have to live with the problems and thus to slowly overcome them, this will make you humble, besides, it will make you look for refuge and spiritual consolation; then, you will not see yourself as a super man and you will also understand that the others can make mistakes, this is not to justify them, this is just to live in a society where the habitants are not gods who can do everything....continued>

" They laughed again and said: " If you think that way, then you are a retrograde; the society must be ambitious, must cast aside what is bad, and must look for the supreme perfection; if you are not in control, you do not know the power and if you do not know the power, you are oppressed and by thinking in that way, you will never be happy; besides, if you look for refuge in what you call spiritual, you will live out of the dreams and that is not the reality." But the wise madman said: " Wait a moment, I told you from the beginning that all this is in stages; when you learn about your lacks, then you work on them, you accept the limits, and you mature in many ways...continued>

This does not mean that you let yourself go, but on the contrary, you look for a superior help, you edify , and when you understand the inevitable, you do not separate from happiness, but you realize that happiness is there, as a path to travel." Ha, ha, ha, they all laughed and said: " Your madness does not have sanity. Your happiness for us, is the example of your ruin, you live in a fantasy, which is truly madness. We need to have control, power, direction, and all that for us, is the happiness." The wise madman answered: " To end, I can only say that happiness is a path to cover; happiness is here, there and beyond; we all have been invited to be happy, but sometimes we ask too much from happiness. It is not that I am a conformist or simpleton...continued>

But I have found out that one can be happy in spite of all the mistakes in the path; and the fact is that one must learn to improve while in the path, and not to make a condemnation out of the goals. I begin my day as if it was the first and the last day of my life, I talk with happiness as my friend, not an enemy to conquer." But they said: " It is getting late and you do not need the shade any longer, go on, continue your way." He answered: " Thank you for sharing with me." They said: " Leave, once and for all." One thing was very clear: The heart of the madman never changed but they kept making fun of him as he walked away. That is why, the madman is wise, because nobody believes in him; and the fact is that he has a knowledge that nobody understands.

The invitation seemed so wonderful that nobody could resist it. And this was what it said: " Come to me, come to enjoy, to forget the worries, the crying; you'll be very happy, just give me a moment and you'll see how much happiness I will give you, no bad memories will be left, you'll be so joyful that you'll think that is a dream, but when you awake, you'll feel strong and powerful with no obstacles in the world that can stop you."
This was what the voice was saying but it was coming from an strange place, because the entrance door where such an eloquent announcement was made, was quite narrow and one had to stoop in order to enter the place. But the voice had motivated the people, who little by little, went into the place.
I repeat, the entrance door was very small but the exit door, on the contrary, was wide, high and big...continued>

I didn't want to rush, so I decided to observe from some distance the people who were entering the place.
There were no more people by dawn and then the entrance door closed while the exit door opened, which was big and wide, then I went forward, trying to see all those happy people get out and to ask them about their experience. But I was very surprised when I only saw a gigantic head come out and my surprise was even more when I saw a gigantic serpent passed by in front of me; this serpent, by sortilege or privilege was talking with human voice. She was placing her mouth in the small door and was devouring all the people, one by one.
Then, I thought, that everything that is promised as very easy, will lead to a sinister end.

I have a Dog.

Yes, I have a dog and I think that he does not love me, the thing is that he never barks, he only looks at me. And when I pass in front, he never bites me. I don't know whether he is sick, or what happens to him. I see other dogs who bark, chase and even want to bite.
Could it be that he has lost the interest? I don't know. He looks at me with the same look that I have when I look at the moon, like out of reality. Is he sick? What is happening to him?
He comes closer, moves his tail and wants to play but I have seen other dogs who chase, bark, bite, but not this one. I don't know what to do, maybe life has turned upside down?
I have a dog and I don't know what's wrong with him.
I am the modern humanity and we have made so many progress and so fast. We have conquered the sea, the earth, the space and somewhat have forgotten about the natural order of things. So much power, maybe makes us see things the other way round.

My Best Friend

My Best Friend not always approves of me.
My Best Friend not always understands me.
My Best Friend not always accepts me.
My Best Friend not always accompanies me.
My Best Friends tells me the things in a very frank and direct way, sometimes too hard, but he says: " Be careful with the fires, because it is much better to put them out fast before they become big." Sometimes I expect that he will accept anything that I propose but at times he says "no"
But this helps me to realize my mistakes although I don't want to see them many times.
I have come to the conclusion that my best friend is not the one who tells me what I want to hear but what I need to know.
My best friend is very different to me, and that is also the reason that he is my best friend.
