NADA É O QUE PARECE
Een gedachte die al eeuwen lang filosofen wereldwijd heeft geïntrigeerd.
Dus ook ik voelde de drang om het in steen te zetten. Illusie is een belangrijk element in het
boeddhisme en sinds Plato en zijn Allegorie
van de Grot weten ook de Grieken dat niets is wat het lijkt. Het is niet mijn
bedoeling hier een filosofisch exposé te geven, maar tussen de lijnen lezen kan
al een stuk helpen.
Um
pensamento que durante séculos tem intrigado filósofos em todo o mundo. Então também
eu senti o desejo de colocá-lo em pedra. A ilusão é um elemento importante no
budismo e desde Platão e a sua Alegoria
da Caverna, os gregos também sabem que nada é o que parece. Não é minha
intenção dar aqui uma exposição filosófica, mas a leitura entre as linhas já
pode ajudar muito.
Aangepaste muziek: Nothing
Is What It Seems van Johan Denning. Over deze Deense singer songwriter weet
ik verder niet veel, maar dit nummer komt uit zijn CD Going Back Home. Een toepasselijke
song die mij wel bevalt.
Música adaptada: Nothing Is What It Seems de Johan
Denning. Não muito sobre este cantautor dinamarquês,
mas o tema faz parte do seu álbum Going
Back Home. Uma canção apropriada que gosto bastante.
NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS
I was walking
Down by the arcade
Watching the sky go from dark to darker
And in the spot of a street light
I saw my former friend
He’d gone weird that old mr. Parker
He said: My head is growing wide
But my face is growing dim
I’m a new age man
But I’m disgusted by everything within
The moon was shivering
By the look of his pale-dead face
And me, I thought I was just lucky to be alive
So with one foot in the gutter
And the other one on the curb
He said: I’m not the man you should disturb
So I moved on
Like a bird with hasty wings
And who’s freer than bird flying high above in the dark
Who’s more silent than the poet in the park
In my escape
I met the loneliest of men
And I asked him where to hide
He reminded me
Surprisingly
To much about me and my stupid pride
Hide yourself he said
Don’t you think you’d better wake up
No one ever listens to one who dreams
In real life nothing is what it seems © Johan Denning
Zo is dat. Trouwens heel mooi werk!
