"Youth's ideals"


In this world of wild natural circumstances and crazy human systems I guess it's better to remain in the rebel spirit of adolescence permanently, not as cultivating any childhis personality or defying some of the valuable lessons about oneself obtained through experimentation, but rather treasuring that sort of basic freedom instict in the non-conventional aception of the term, that one able to make oneself questioning things frequently, thinking out of the box - with attached fears or guilt of any type, I think the results are always enlighting -, performing crazy adventures, to never be contented enough with reality as it's everyday presented.


I refer here to not letting die of those ideals, dreams, nonconformity, worthwhile neurosis if so, that accompany adolescence; I find this to be the most important force inside the human being in order to improve reality. Also as time goes by adolescence starts acquiring much more positive denotations as the gap between chronological age and feasible opportunities in the world expand. I see that adolescent spirit guided investigations -individually or teamed- tend to bring one back to the encounter with one's inner self -the one society will never accept after all-, capabilities, limitations, opinions and all the unimaginable richness lying into the interior universes of conciousness, wich is excellent, despite some tasks can be harder character builder-like to some, but no doubt that the things achieved in the practice while one is in those " travels to Itaca" can be remarkable.


Not loosing sight of that youngster within we carry out, of that humble attitude, and the reasonable contradictions, make it possible to me to contribute better in this world and collaborating in transforming it into something non only more ecological but more environmentaly friendly of one being to another, who knows, maybe the next May of the 68 won't be as noisy and eccentric as that old revolution was, but a more subtle and ambitious one, with a higher degree of a true positive impact in a desired future. If you find it appealing and you can, please try mainly to have fun along the way, avoid boredoness, fight negativity/phantoms, try re-inventing yourself whenever you need it, adapting to the most permanent of things that we really know: the change flow. I would say, why not engaging in conquering for life the adolescent who less attention received from us in those hisghschool years, who was like the frog hidding a royal crown behind? it was only that by that time we were already too old to believe in fairytales, and well, honestly, it's indeed never too late.
