MATERIALISM AND IGNORANCE - by jrqc

There are wonderful traits and lessons we can learn from other people, but, of course, there are also negative qualities we should avoid. By embracing virtues, we can strive for personal growth and achieve much more in life. On the other hand, certain traits hinder our mental evolution. In this text, we will address two of these negative factors: materialism and ignorance, as well as ways to counteract their dominance.


MATERIALISM

Being a slave to material possessions and attaching a sense of approval and validation from external sources reflects the shallowness of a person. This unidimensional pursuit often seen in individuals who lack depth and substance. They may be driven by consumerism to fill a void or pretend to be something they are not. Unfortunately, this constant pursuit of external approval stifles their true essence, leading to a fleeting sense of reality and leaving them feeling empty.

It is important to have material possessions, but minimalism suggests keeping them to a practical minimum. Items that are unused for a long time should be discarded or given to those who need them.

IGNORANCE

Having a degree or education does not necessarily equate to intelligence. True intelligence and knowledge come from studying, practicing, experiencing the world, analyzing information, and reflecting on personal growth. Learning from others and engaging in meaningful conversations can help us improve our skills and personality traits.


There is no shame in admitting ignorance about a specific subject. Instead of saying something uninformed, it is better to listen and learn from those who possess knowledge in that area. Avoiding banal topics, gossip, and stupidity in conversations can lead to more meaningful interactions and personal growth.

In conclusion, avoiding negative behaviors is crucial for understanding ourselves better. Acknowledging our flaws allows us to seek improvement through self-examination, knowledge, experience, and practice. While we are imperfect, this should not limit us from striving for positivity, learning from others, acquiring new skills, and avoiding anything that hinders our journey towards personal growth.

LA CHICA DEL CALLEJÓN - Descripcion de personaje de ficcion - de jrqc

Ese día el sol brillaba como siempre, bañandola en su resplendor, tornando el color de su piel en tonos de miel y nuez. Su juventud perfumaba la calle y los ojos de los espectadores no la perdían de vista. Ella era simplemente la frescura de la primavera y el calor del verano combinadas casi perfectamente en las carnes y la figura de su cuerpo.  Sus senos firmes dejaban entrever las aureolas de la juventud, mientras sus piernas daban paso a ese menear característico de su coqueteo, al que daba rienda suelta así como su castaña y ondulada cabellera. Su mente anidaba la sed de ver el mundo, de ir más allá de embriagarse del placer que éste le pudiera ofrecer y sin escatimar en ambiciones y sueños ella simplemente se dejaba ir. Era la carencia de estas vivencias y posesiones que la presionaban a sumirse y ser esclava de ambiciones que a veces eran malsanas y mezquinas, pero a ella eso no le importaba. Deseaba agarrar al mundo y hacerle su esclavo, deseaba ser complacida y en su parece...

REBELLION - by jrqc

"...countless times you mentioned your disbelief of achieving anything, yet here you are, immersed in colors with your wings spread wide!- oh, how relieved I am, for this merciless world of ours can make ashes those who dream of a better self..." "It has indeed been a challenging journey, I must confess, but one that was worthwhile. If I hadn't learned how to navigate and overcome the obstacles I encountered, the outcome would have been significantly different. Certainly there were moments when I sank in sorrow and my strength deserted both my heart and limbs, and it was during those times that I found the knowledge and the courage to persevere because of HIM., We are not granted any knowledge at the moment of our birth, for I believe we learn more both through His gracious mercy and our own mundane ways.." "I assume it wasn't an easy task to perform. Standing tall often requires facing defeat and acquiring humility. Qualities which are certainly hard t...

STATUE OF LOVE - poetic monologue by jrqc (stanzas, metaphors, symbolism used)

You banished me from the coldness of your embrace. Despite my begging and suffering, as I tore my ragged clothes in desperation, you showed no mercy and gave me none. My knees were grated and grazed from the harsh ground on which they stood. However, you, oh cold statue named Love, pointed your accusing finger at me, crowning my heart with thorns while exclaiming, "You, my child, the one who denied me! You, the one who refused my embrace! You ungrateful creature! You shall now wander the moors with pain in your heart and inhabit the shadows of my Love!" Despite the harrowing circumstances, my squirming soul persisted, and with what was left of my heart, I endured the pain. My teary, blurry vision became the prelude to new perceptions. But that was it, for I was scarred. I am scarred. I will be scarred, and no words, neither from that statue of Love nor yours, will provoke a change in the way things are. I have walked the moors, wept, and wailed throughout the vastness of the ...
