Nesta época de Natal, proponho-vos a leitura desta mensagem para reflexão.
Se um cientista social se debruçar sobre o estudo do comportamento humano, de uma determinada cidade, ou país e, tendo em conta os tempos em que vivemos, certamente irá encontrar um padrão comportamental inquietante! Irá encontrar comportamentos semelhantes, não importando a justeza, ou o sentido desses comportamentos, desde que não saiam da sua zona de conforto e que dêem frutos aka dinheiro. Quem não repete esse padrão comportamental, é excluído e rotulado de arrogante e de não pertencer à tribo.
Christmas message from Marisa's Closet blog
Dear friends and readers of this blog,
At this Christmas season, I invite you to read this message for reflection.
If a social scientist were to study human behaviour in a particular city or country, taking into account the times we live in, he would certainly find a disturbing behavioural pattern! He would find similar behaviours, regardless of their fairness or meaning, as long as they do not stray from their comfort zone and bear fruit, i.e. money. Those who do not repeat this behavioural pattern are excluded and labelled as arrogant and not belonging to the tribe.
Podem ser muitas as razões para este padrão de comportamento: por poder, prazer, medo, maldade, ódio etc. Mas porque é que seguimos comportamentos que até nos parecem errados? Porque é que a consciência se cala quando esse comportamento padrão se nos é imposto? Porque não olhamos para dentro de nós quando julgamos os outros?
There may be many reasons for this pattern of behaviour: power, pleasure, fear, malice, hatred, etc. But why do we follow behaviours that even seem wrong to us? Why does our conscience remain silent when this pattern of behaviour is imposed on us? Why don't we look inside ourselves when we judge others?
No Holocausto, o impensável aconteceu, pessoas normais adoptaram comportamentos desprezíveis, tornaram-se assassinos carniceiros, Eram pessoas normais, com rostos normais, mataram e torturaram sem motivo, só porque alguém lhes disse que eram de uma raça superior. Neste ano, assistimos a algo semelhante perpetrado pelo povo que tem no seu ADN a memória do genocídio. Peço neste Natal que a paz seja duradoura e que o mundo não se cale e assobie para o lado!
In the Holocaust, the unthinkable happened: ordinary people adopted despicable behaviour and became murderous butchers. They were ordinary people with ordinary faces who killed and tortured for no reason, just because someone told them they were a superior race. This year, we witnessed something similar perpetrated by people who carry the memory of genocide in their DNA. This Christmas, I pray for lasting peace and that the world will not remain silent and look the other way!
Por isso levanto a minha voz e baixo os meus braços, porque a obediência cega nunca foi virtude. Porque pensar é um acto de coragem. Deixo esta imagem como símbolo e inspiração: a foto daquele homem que, entre a multidão a saudar Hitler, ficou de braços cruzados. Sozinho.Estas pessoas foram MANIPULADAS, não se deixem manipular também!
That is why I raise my voice and I lower my arms, because blind obedience has never been a virtue. Because thinking is an act of courage. I leave this image as a symbol and inspiration: the photo of that man who, among the crowd greeting Hitler, stood with his arms crossed. Alone. These people were MANIPULATED, don't let yourself be manipulated too!

Talvez seja disso que mais precisamos hoje, da coragem de não levantar o braço, de não repetir o gesto, de não seguir o rebanho sem questionar e, sobretudo de DENÚNCIAR. Por fim, de usar, finalmente, a cabeça - e o coração💖!
Mutatis Mutandis!
Obrigada a todos!
Perhaps that is what we need most today: the courage not to raise our arms, not to repeat the gesture, not to follow the herd without questioning and above all to DENOUNCE. Finally, to use our heads—and our hearts💖!
Mutatis Mutandis!
Thank you, everyone!
Esta mensagem de Natal tem que ter banda sonora, escolhi a canção"Bella Ciao", da fantástica série La Casa de Papel, esta canção é um símbolo de resistência, liberdade e esperança! Um hino Universal, a MENTIRA NÃO PASSARÁ... mais!
This Christmas message needs a soundtrack, so I chose the song “Bella Ciao” from the fantastic series La Casa de Papel. This song is a symbol of resistance, freedom, and hope! A universal anthem, the LIE WILL NOT PREVAIL... anymore!
