DESIDERATA

diumenge 2/maig/2010 - 01:16 2553 4

Diuen que cada dia es pot apredre alguna cosa nova.
I tant! Hi han tantes coses que no sabem! que caldríen molts, però molts anys
per aprendre una petita part de tots els coneixements del Univers,
i encara ens quedaríem com uns perfectes ignorants!

L'altre día, però, ni més ni menys que a l'oficina on feia la "declaració de renda",
vaig veure un escrit, penjat a la paret com si fos un cuadro, de "DESIDERATA".

Possiblement per tranquilitzar-nos pel fet que ens toque contribuir al fisc,
el que ens estimariem més gastar-nos lo amb altres coses mes plaenteres.

Fa molts anys que havía llegit aquest escrit i em va agradar. A les hores vaig pensar...
'encara que sigui un escrit de fa molts anys, algú potser no l'hagi llegit mai;
en faré una copia i el compartiré amb la gent del xat.català. Potser hi hagi algú que també li agradi i li serveixi.

Versió "original" (?):

desiderata - by max ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann c.1920


He cercat una traducció al català; però la que he trobat (Google)no em sembla gaire bona, i ni me la deix "copiar!

Una abraçada
