WORLD THEATRE
(Reflection)
I know that this title may seem like a copy of Grand Auto Sacramental "The Great Theatre of the world" no less magnificent writer Don Pedro Calderon de la Barca, but emulating the distinguished writer and, of course, saving the huge distances between him and me, (I hope readers will forgive me all this daring), is a phrase that has come to my mind at the time to peek this morning at the window and admire the scenery.
I'm very lucky because both from one end or another of the balcony of my home, my view is presented to a wide horizon and beautiful is the inspiration or muse of these writings of mine on the nature, so frequent, and today, the words that have come to mind when contemplating the landscape, have been these: "The theater of the world" And I'll explain why.
In the distant line where the sky meets the earth, saw a more or less perfect square of red light that gradually turn pink and I thought: "Are the lights on the stage" like you expect to begin the function and, impatient we do not lose detail, to see the lights going up in tone, we know that immediately, descorrerá the curtain and start the scene. So I thought the day.
Immediately I got the question: "If we who populate this world, in the famous work of Don Pedro Calderón, we are the actors who work to my humble opinion and ignoring the work of Calderon, can be the director and who are the spectators? "And I kept thinking, and imagining as he watched the beautiful dawn. Gradually, as the lights of the room and started the function. First slowly, until the stage was lit up completely. "Wake up the day. Everything is looking forward pending the start, succeed scenes, dialogue that ultimately lead us to the nub of the story where everyone plays their role. The director, always careful that the strings are properly developed and if an actor make a mistake, the scolding was swift: "be careful because the next time you run out of paper."
Well, we suspect he may be the director. This mysterious being we call God, energy, power, or light-even science, supernatural, superior or unknown, which is who or what we put on this earth. We need to know who are those that are part of the public and enjoy or criticize our actions, and there's certainly more intense. Who buys two tickets to see the work? "He asked.
After pondering for a while, I concluded that humans themselves can be both actors as viewers of course! In the world there are many plays, not just one. We join in groups to form stories, plays in which we participate as a few others, we watch and comment our actions. And that sometimes, we are part of the public, while other works are actors, and so we are learning and interacting with each other. Then I thought: What the world is well done! Whoever you have created, had to get to know the beauty, wisdom, order and love because these things are always present in the daily drama that is life, the rest is part of the interpretation of each actor, characteristics of declamatory, the plot of the play that touches on luck, the errors committed in their actions and should be rectified ... the better or worse interpretation of other actors who followed him, the stage, more or less comfortable or uncomfortable in which you have to act ... And so, in this complicity of actor / audience, performed better or worse, develop the work of life.
And most importantly we have Who is the author of works? In the book of our famous writer, is God but, in my view, I think everyone should have the power to put the author, the name that you like. (For the record they want changed is not the Don Pedro Calderón flat God save me from such daring!). Yes, you can call it God, destiny, fate, freedom, dependence ..., etc. There are plenty of names to choose from and each has their own taste.
I put the name of "LIFE" and, while waiting for the start of my daily actions, I will continue enjoying the scenery from my window every morning. Then go into the scene.
will conclude this reflection with verses of Don Pedro Calderon de la Barca in his masterpiece "THE GREAT THEATRE OF THE WORLD" for all remember:
For this, common flock
I will, from the poor to the King, to amend the
to wander and teach those who know not,
with the pointer, to my law;
it all
tell you what you have to do
