Angular

N-am fost un fan al superbowl-ului niciodata, desi mania m-ar fi putut coplesi de cateva ori, data fiind densitatea de sport-freaks pe care ii am prin preajma. Azi dimineata totusi, mi-am dat seama ca depinde si de perspectiva, de data asa perspectiva cinematografica. Si parca am privit cu alti ochi.



Unii spun ca pentru a cunoaste un lucru, trebuie sa il privesti din toate unghiurile. Daca ai puterea sa-l privesti din 360 de unghiuri diferite, bravo tie, esti rabdator. Nu multi sunt cei perseverenti, asa ca majoritatea sfarsim prin a nu cunoaste in totalitate mai nimic. Pe de alta parte plombarea lacunelor cu te miri ce avem prin traistele noastre intelectuale chiar ne da impresia ca am ajuns la quintesenta acelui lucru si taddda, il cunoastem (discutia a cunoaste=a stapani se declara de pe acum deschisa).


************* ******* *************

Momentan imi dau silinta sa invat sa grow young. Ar fi prematur sa spun ca mi-e frica de riduri si tate lasate, dar de cateva ori mi-am lasat blestemele sa curga asupra oglindei. Si a unghiului din care batea lumina. Finalmente toata treaba asta cu perspectiva e o mascare a unor scuze pe care le cautam ca sa justificam un pic mai brutalul inevitabil. Ce nu intelegem de multe ori e ca pana la "finalmente" mai este mult.
S-a dezbatut asta ieri, in timpul lunch break-ului cu un prieten.
aparent A + B + C = "The person doesn't give a flying crap"
unde A = X does not call you for three days
B = when X calls, X acts as if nothing's ever happened
C = X mentions no plans for the quickly-approaching Valentine's Day

S-au cautat scuze pentru emascularea sus-mentionatelor trivialitati, gen "I was busy anyway, I had no time to call X either" sau "I care diddly squat about Valentine's Day myself, so I'm quite happy X didn't mention anything about it anyway"

Asa nu!

I then understood how thin the thread between the "different angles" perception and the "lying to myself and finding excuses for something that's not ever gonna be worth it" perception.
Asadar, nu ca as incuraja vreodata amagirea de sine, dar daca tot ajungeti sa o faceti, faceti-o cand chiar aveti motive intemeiate. Cand sunteti hopeless si a te multumi cu ORICE e singura ancora pe care o mai aveti ca sa va mentineti self-esteem-ul.
Se prea poate ca tonul mesianic al acestui articol sa va aminteasca de filme overrated pentru femei frustrate, si de slogane la fel de patetice gen "you're worth it", dar daca numai pentru o clipa ne gandim la "why wouldn't you be worth it?" (care intrebare da, admit, poate fi interpretata la fel de siropesc), concluzionam - sper - ca de fapt dropping it and moving on to a different angle poate fi mai recomandat decat a insista in ceva care stie naiba unde duce si, mai grav, erodeaza ceva ce odata era sanatos.

Terminand divagarea mesianica, trebuie sa recunosc ca vreau sa grow young a bit. A salta pasi in ciclul de invatare poate echivala cu a progresa, dand crezare mitului unui Fat-Frumos care "crestea intr-o luna cat altii-n trei ani". Desi progresul e temporar (ca si cum Fat-Frumos s-ar fi dopat cu steroizi, si-apoi la o varsta inca tanara ar fi ramas ba impotent, ba cu muschii transformati in valuri valuri de tesut adipos, cah!). Riscul de a regresa e mereu la panda cand nu faci lucrurile la timpul lor, adica le traiesti cu o era mai devreme. De exemplu daca plonjezi intr-o "relatie serioasa" (as opposed to what normal people do in their teen ages), dupa ce iti trece "seriozitatea" tot in piscina cu lucruri "light" ajungi. Buba rasare inca inainte sa ajungi in acolo. Buba e insasi faptul ca discrepanta serios-neserios cantareste greu in favoarea lucrului temeinic, serios, de durata. Si dracu stie de ce pasul asta de la seriozitatea la ceva usor e vazut ca fiind un regres?! Nimeni n-a zis vreodata ca pe scara evolutiei o "relatie serioasa" e mai sus decat un o abordare 'take it easy'. Si de fapt in clipe din astea iti dai seama ca ce numeai ieri progres, vazut in unghiul luminii de azi, e un pas inapoi, pentru ca odata ce te debarasezi de el, vine toata suita de lucruri pe care le-ai saltat in trecut. Ca si cum tineretea ti-ar apartine doar pe jumatate acum, pentru ca vine fara crezul puternic si autentic in lucrurile usoare (a se interpreta in lumina antonimului "serios")

Upgrading to a one night stand, cine a mai auzit de asa ceva? Why do we all assume upgrading is about seriousness? There has to be a balance between burden and lightness, there has to be an unbearable lightness somewhere, somehow.

OK, dar mie toate astea-mi suna a cunoastere de sine. Pai da, sinele e singurul lucru pe care daca ajungem sa-l cunoastem, il putem si controla. Cu tot cu o tona de rabdare, mereu ne ramane un grad neatins, acel al 360-lea grad pe care nu-l putem accesa pt ca nu locuim in pielea nimanui altcuiva decat a noastra.

Mica nota bene: pentru cei care nu cred in fericirea la singular, am doua poze.

Decideti voi care e mai "fericita" (pentru ca in final despre asta este vorba in propozitie, despre the way we approach this little word 'happiness' and the way we decide to pursue it).

So instead of strolling at a constant speed for say an hour,
you'd change things up by alternating short bursts of extreme walking for say a minute followed by a recovery period with slower walking right after every single extreme period. Just continue to keep alternating for twenty minutes to start out and add time while you turn out to be far more fit. You are able to use interval instruction with all phases in theprocera memory to enhance your final results.

Also if you do any kind of training it is actually strongly recommended you drink lots of water just before for the duration of and immediately after to keep your body thoroughly hydrated.

Just continue to keep alternating for 20 minutes
to start out and include time as you develop into far more fit.

So rather than strolling at a steady pace for say an hour, you'd modify factors up by alternating brief bursts of extreme strolling for say a minute followed by a recovery time period with slower strolling after each extreme period. Just hold alternating for twenty minutes to start and add time when you come to be much more fit. You'll be able to use interval education with all phases from
theprocera memory to boost your results.


Also once you do any type of workout it really is strongly suggested which you drink lots of water
before through and just after to help keep one's body appropriately hydrated.

a terrific story, the сharactеrѕ,
into the story one tiny bit at a time. But I'm really looking forward to it. But the years have passed.
