Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us;
for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist.
Epicurus
La muerte, la mas temida, no nos tiene que preocupar ya que mientras existimos, la muerte no esta presente, y cuando la muerte esta presente, ya dejamos de existir.
Epicureo
In an age of constant movement,
nothing is more urgent than sitting still.
Pico Iyer
En una era de cambio constante,
nada es mas urgente que sentarse y quedarse quieto.
Pico Iyer
So, what is time?
I no one asks me, I know:
If I want to explain it to a person who asks, I do not know anymore and yet, I affirm with certainty that,
had nothing passed, there would be no past time – had nothing happened there would not be future time,
had nothing existed, there would be no present time.
St. Augustine
Entonces, qué es el tiempo?
Si nadie me pregunta, yo lo sé:
Si lo quiero explicar a la persona que pregunta, no lo sé y aún así afirmo con certeza que,
si nada hubiera sucedido, no habría tiempo pasado – si nada pasara no habría futuro,
si nada existiera, no habría presente.
St. Augustine
The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute.
What bitterness!
He lives for what is always out of reach!
His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present.
Chuang – Tzu
El nacimiento del hombre es el nacimiento de su pesar.
Cuanto mas vive, mas estúpido se vuelve, ya que su ansiedad para evitar la inevitable muerte se vuelve mas y mas aguda.
Qué amargura!
El hombre vive por lo que está fuera de su alcance!
Su sed por sobrevivir en el futuro lo vuelve incapaz de vivir en el presente.
Chuang-Tzu
