Looking at the other side

A blog full of contrarian views

All of them. No buzz, no ring, no ding-dong. Nothing. Mobile phone and computer alike.

I don't follow a computer's commands, it follows mine. My smartphone is not a digital rosary.

But, from time to time, I still fail and slowly become a digital slave, an infomaniac.

Thus, a breakaway from all of it is needed. Everything gets shut down and go somewhere else to wander for a while, freely.

Purposefully wandering, or how the Dutch call it, Niksen, it is time well invested.

Jaime Sabines escribe: «Porque las mejores palabras de amor están entre dos gentes que no se dicen nada». Gran belleza y profundidad.

Quizá es porque soy un hombre de pocas palabras, o simplemente porque valoro el silencio, no lo sé.

El silencio es imposible de comunicar en el mundo digital.

Lo único que se puede comunicar es lo que se dice, pero no lo que se calla. Parece absurdo pensar en ello, pero no lo es.

¿Cómo puedo comunicar mi silencio en este blog?, ¿No escribiendo nada? Seguro pensarás que olvidé escribir, y no que estoy mirándote en silencio. ¿Cómo puedo mirarte sin decir nada?

Por más que queramos negarlo, el mundo digital es muy limitado. Lo cual no es bueno ni malo, es lo que es.

O como dicen en mi pueblo, «es lo que hay».

Failing at something that should not have happened in the first place is not a disgrace, but a blessing.

However, when the failure occurs, it is extremely difficult to realize it.

The last time I moved places, I promised myself I will give up on physical books. The heavier boxes were full of books!
