DIGNITY BY ME:
Dignity is a difficult word to define, in any form is a difficult concept to define ... who could draw the dignity?, Who could describe it?, would it be possible to do an essay on dignity?
I do not know how to define the word or the concept of "dignity" but today I witnessed something, today I was the lucky one to see the gesture of what it means to be "worthy" and say that I was a happy, because I had this impression that the world's most beautiful image was right there in the street, a full view of everyone and do not know anyone else noticed that there was happening, I feel lucky, because all the people who passed around at that time I was a witness only, that is me! It's like walking down the street and see just the time when a piano falls from the eighth floor, shit! ... I need to recount that if I do it is very difficult for someone understands what I mean.
Outside the center there is a high school a couple of beggars (which did not seem to beggars, they were not sad attitude of them), must have had some forty-odd years maybe, maybe less, I guess so many streets, so cold, so much dirt, so all they ever pull into the pit to anyone, it was ten at night and they were preparing sleeping, arming his bed in a stairway that covered the cold, armed themselves with cardboard, with old newspapers ... while he assembles the bed she opened a beer that he gets to love and share, he makes a gesture of joy and shows a half-finished cigarette and passes it as if to say "Here Honey, You-
fúmatelo
... lay on his bed of cardboard, lie next to each other and covered with a blanket old, are covered by the same gesture that makes a couple who sleeps in the same bed sharing for years and watching TV are clothed and covered with the same gesture as if they were playing house, no one who saw could be worth having them, that their attitude to this life, their lives, had such dignity that drove away any semblance of pity ...
see them moved me greatly, how were touched me through and through and I wonder how the company, how love can bring dignity to the people ... it is true that no one realized what was happening in the steps of a downtown high school, but that happens because people generally do not look nowhere, I'm quite sure that if anyone else had seen the whole scene I think I saw the same thing, love people ... dignified them with a bed board with his old blanket, with the butt shared with that can of beer that was probably also the dinner, drew, painted, described, conceptualized dignity in a way that I believe could not have been described in a better way ...
At the time I went to buy cigarettes at the end I bought two packs and I gave them one, without making the kinds of questions weon as "do you want cigars?" only delivered them and told them they looked good together and hopefully I smiled last forever ... ... I hope they last forever ...
"You're what you love, Fhayruz -
