When you get what you want, what do you want? Cuando obtienes lo que quieres, entonces qué quieres


Ahmed, the boy in the photo, does not give the impression of being unhappy. He has put a bit of creativity and has made a prince's crown from the remains of a Paracetamol package. It does not seem sad at all. It is obvious that his needs are less numerous and cheaper than mine. I spend days, months or years looking for having and obtaining things or objectives, sometimes completely dispensable, sometimes educational, charitable or spiritual, and when I finally get them, I ask myself: "And now what?". There is like a vacuum ... this was all? For this I have been fighting and leaving all of it? When I get what I want, then what do I want? It seems that Augustine of Hippo was not misguided when he said "Lord, You have made us for you and our heart is restless until it rests in you"
Ahmed, el niño de la foto, no da la impresión de ser infeliz. Le ha echado imaginación a la vida y se ha fabricado una corona de príncipe con lo que queda del envase de paracetamol. No parece nada triste, no señor. Es obvio que sus necesidades son menos numerosas y más baratas que las mías. Me paso días, meses o años buscando tener y obtener cosas u objetivos, a veces completamente prescindibles, a veces educativos, caritativos o espirituales, y cuando finalmente los consigo, me pregunto: “Y ahora qué”. Hay como un vacío… ¿esto era todo? ¿Para esto he estado luchando y dejándome la piel? Cuando obtengo lo que quiero, Entonces qué quiero. Se ve que Agustín de Hipona no andaba descaminado cuando dijo aquello de «Nos has hecho, Señor, para ti y nuestro corazón está inquieto hasta que descanse en ti»
