One of my biggest obsessions was always the forgotten . Usually attributed to Dolina the claim that everything we do we do to lift mines. I think dissent: everything we do, including getting up mine *, it is to not go unnoticed, never to be forgotten.
Even when death is the worst of evils, being dead is, by definition, an experience that is not given to suffer. In contrast, neglect is (according to the popular formula) "living death" , is the experience of not being for another, that our existence irrelevant. Oppose oblivion is to oppose power of death in life.
But how to avoid being forgotten? Under what rules acts oblivion? What mechanisms trigger or postpone it?
I would be optimistic and say that the credit is a good way to delay its action in order to extract a moral slogan of this post. But the truth is that I think sometimes, or almost always, justice appears to be one of the parameters favorite memory. Infamy, mediocrity, cruelty and stupidity, often have much more effect than any righteous path.
only remains to ask: What if forgetting is, after all, our common goal: to how much haste to get somewhere? Maybe we should learn to enjoy the road, without worrying a bit about where this leads ...
Anyway, watch the scene from the movie Safety Last , is one of the most famous in film history. Its creator, Harold Lloyd (which once was as famous as Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton) is now practically a stranger.
Go, for this modest tribute to Mr Harold, who tried to be remembered as a great artist, in a world where the emphasis and whim take the place of merit.
