Lembra lĂĄ atrĂĄs, no tempo da escola, aquele grupinho que te chacoteava? Naquela Ă©poca a palavra bullying nĂŁo existia e situaçÔes assim nem eram punidas. HumilhaçÔes, calĂșnias marcam a pele de quem sofre mas raramente aquele que a praticou evolui o suficiente para reconhecer o mal, reparar o dano, desculpar-se. Aquele que se destaca geralmente Ă© colocado a prova por gente limitada e mesquinha, sem capacidade, sem empatia. Ărvores que dĂŁo frutos sĂŁo as que mais levam pedradas. Ă como se o brilho, ainda que tĂmido, de uns, ofuscasse a e ameaçasse a falta de capacidade de outros. A sociedade nĂŁo Ă© justa, a meritocracia Ă© uma grande falĂĄcia, usada irresponsavelmente para justificar quem naturalmente jĂĄ podia mais, mas ainda assim compete com quem pĂŽde menos.
Falta delicadeza no mundo. Falta gentileza, solidariedade, empatia.
NinguĂ©m calça os sapatos do outro para saber as dores da caminhada, poucos oferecem a mĂŁo, um cobertor, um copo d’ĂĄgua, mas muitos se postam firmes para julgar, criticar, apedrejar. Vi muitas vezes o mal triunfar sobre o bem; nĂŁo espere flores de solos ĂĄridos, a fertilidade Ă© fofa, plural, quente, Ășmida, generosa. NĂŁo desperdice seu tempo, nem suas sementes, flores e frutos a quem intende queimĂĄ-los. Alimente o bem, divida, ensine, aprenda, ignore a maldade. NĂŁo espere nada de ninguĂ©m, especialmente dos utilitaristas. Persista, trabalhe em paz, conecte-se com gente que sente e vibra positivamente, repita. A florada da cerejeira simboliza a efemeridade das coisas, da beleza, da vida. De tudo que existe, pulsa e vive, quase nada se salva, se matĂ©m, se eterniza.
Num mundo de tantas pedras, ouse ser flor.

Do you remember, back in school, that little group that used to pick on you? Back then the word ‘bullying’ was not as popular and situations like this were often not even punished. Humiliations, slander, prejudice marks the skin of the sufferer but rarely does the one who practices it evolve enough to recognize the evil done, repair the damage, apologize. The one who stands out is usually put to the test by limited, petty people, people with no spedial abilities nor empathy. Fruitful trees are usually the ones to be stoned. It is as if even the shyest glow of some, overshadows and threatens the lack of capacity of others. Society is not always just, meritocracy is a great fallacy, used irresponsibly to justify who naturally could more, but still competes with those who could less.
There is not enough kindness in the world. Hardly enough gentleness, solidarity, empathy.
No one wants to wear your fellow man’s shoes to understand the pains of walking, few offer a hand, a blanket, a glass of water, but many stand firm to judge, criticize, and stone. I have often seen evil triumph over good; Do not expect flowers from arid soils, fertility is soft, plural, warm, moist, generous. Do not waste your time, your seeds, flowers and fruits on whom’s intention is to burn it. Feed the good, divide, teach, learn, avoid and ignore evil. Do not expect anything from anyone, especially utilitarians. Persist, work in peace, connect with people who feel and vibrate positively, repeat. The cherry tree blossom symbolizes the ephemerality of things, of beauty, of life. Of all existing things, pulsing and living, not much will remain, be saved or eternalized.
In a world of so much stone, dare to be flower.
