The world

 

"A man from the Neguá people, on the coast of Colombia, was able to climb into the high sky. On the way back, he said. He said he had looked up human life from above. And he said we're a sea of outsides. "The world is that," he revealed, "a lot of people, a sea of schools. Each person shines with his own light among all others.

No two fires are the same. There are big fires and small fires and fires of all colors. There are people of serene fire, who don't even know the wind, and crazy people of fire that fills the air with sparks. Some fires, silly fires, do not light up or burn; but others burn life with such passion that you can't look at them without blinking, and whoever comes up lights up."

More than a short story, it is a microcuth created by Eduardo Galeano (one of the most prominent writers of Uruguay and all of Latin America) and published in his book "The Book of Embraces". It focuses on the worldview as a wonderful place full of people very different from each other, but who do not cease to be people. It also makes us see the relevance of daring to live intensely.
