I told my years and discovered that I have less time to live from now on, than the one I have lived until now. I feel like that boy who won a pack of sweets: he ate the first ones with pleasure, but, when he perceived that there were few left, he began to taste them deeply. I no longer have time for endless meetings, where statutes, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be achieved. I no longer have time to put up with absurd people who, despite their chronological age, have not grown up. I no longer have time to deal with mediocrities. I don't want to be in meetings where inflated egos parade. I don't tolerate manipulators and opportunists. I am annoyed by the envious, who try to discredit the most capable, to appropriate their places, talents and achievements. People don't discuss content, just the titles. My time is scarce to discuss titles. I want the essence, my soul is in a hurry. Without many sweets in the package. I want to live next to human people, very human. That he knows how to laugh at his mistakes. Don't be embattled by his triumphs. That it is not considered elected, before the time. Don't flee from your responsibilities. That he defends human dignity. And that I just want to walk on the side of truth and honesty. The essential thing is what makes life worthwhile. I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch people's hearts. People who were taught by the hard blows of life to grow with soft touches in the soul. Yes, I am in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give. I intend not to waste any part of the sweets I have left. I'm sure they will be more exquisite than the ones I've eaten so far. My goal is to reach the end satisfied and at peace with my loved ones and with my conscience... We have two lives and the second begins when you realize that you only have one. 🖊️MARIO DE ANDRADE
