Aquests últims dies des de l’última entrada hem seguit cap al nord-oest avançant xino-xano sense fer grans distàncies però sense aturar-nos. Després de molts dies seguint el gran riu Chao Phraya, passat Nakhon Sawan ens hem ‘canviat de camisa’, hem ‘fet el salt’ a l’anterior riu i hem anat a seguir el riu Ping al llarg del que jo anomenaria, la ruta del sucre (molt diferent a la mítica ruta de la seda).
We all want the same things in life, regardless of where we come from or where we’re going. We want comfort, security, good health and a better life than our parents had.
There are other universal things we collectively seek out. For example, we want to belong. We want to fit into a family or a community, or said more simply, we have a human sense of belonging to each other that we spend our lifetimes trying to satisfy. The flip side of that is more complex. In the same way we individually crave to fit in and belong, we also have this tendency to want to help others belong to whatever circles we move in. Despite what the headline news tells us about fearing “those people,” whoever “those outsiders” are in any given moment in history, there’s a part of us that cannot resist the urge to extend a kind hand and open heart to another person.
Thailand has given us a chance to reflect on this dynamic.
El saben aquell que diu… Jaume: Anem a jugar a golf? Pere: Anem! … Un cop allà en Pere fa com 5 o 6 forats a la gespa abans de tocar la primera bola. Jaume: Perdona Pere, però pensava que en sabies de jugar. Pere: I en sé. Fins i tot he escrit un llibre. Jaume: Sí??? I com es diu? Pere: El golf i la mare que el va parir!
Doncs el títol complet d’ aquesta entrada és:
Els gossos i la mare que els va parir !!!!
