Hace unos dias me toco ver "The pursuit of happyness" (En búsqueda de la felicidad). La pelicula con Will Smith ("Men in Black" y "El dia de la independencia"). No se me habia antojado verla y creo que por justa razon: la pelicula se la pasó exprimiendome los sentimientos todo el tiempo!
En su caracter, el principal personaje me recordó a un viejo amigo mio: testarudo para luchar lo que quiere, arriesgado para jugarse el todo por el todo hasta el ultimo momento; y la enteresa para salir con la cara en alto aun cuando eres atrapado por las circunstancias. Y enmedio de tanto determinismo por alcanzar lo que sería su felicidad: el cariño de padre hacia su hijo; la necesidad de mantenerlo cerca para curarse como hijo.
No se si sepan, pero "The pursuit of happyness" es uno de los derechos humanos, enunciados por Thomas Jefferson en la Declaracion de Independencia de Estados Unidos. Claramente el título de la pelicula es dirigir la mirada de la audiencia hacia la forma en que el personaje central ejercitó dicho derecho. Sin embargo, la pelicula no dice si a la larga, esto le trajo la felicidad que buscaba. Eso si, alcanzó la posición, el estatus, el imperio que queria... pero la felicidad? Eso la pelicula no lo dice. Es algo que cada quien se ha de contestar... "Alcanzar un imperio, lograr el mejor trabajo, dotar a la familia de dinero para gastar nos puede dar la felicidad?"

Vision Quest...
Febrero 18, 2006
"... You were looking so hard for wisdom and power. Would even know if it was offered to you? You were looking for a vision the way a hunter chases a buffalo. The way a warrior goes after scalps. You fought the spirits. You believed that they owed you something; that they owed you a vision. Suffering by itself brings no vision nor does bravery, nor does willpower. A vision comes as a gift... one of humility.
If you from your vision haver learned only this, grandson, then already you have learned much because true power and wisdom come from within when a man realizes his oneness with all creation. When he realizes that at the center of the universe dwells a power greater than his self. This center is everywhere. It is within each of us. "

Wisdom and power
Febrero 18, 2006
"Wisdom, Power... it comes from within. Within the soul of a man.
When he realizes his relationship in the Great Circle. His oneness with the Universe and all its powers... When he realizes that at the center of the Universe is a power grater than his self.
This power cannot be worn like a shirt. It cannot be carried like a gun. It is within."
