Bom dia a todos! Uau, sim, uma surpresa!<\/em> \/\/ Hallo allemaal! Wow, ja, een verrassing! Ik had gezegd dat ik pas eind augustus weer zou posten. Maar hier ben ik weer, een paar dagen nadat ik anders had gezegd. Er kwamen wat idee\u00ebn bij me op en ik wilde ze delen. Voordat ik ze kwijtraak. Ik ben Santa Luzia dankbaar voor de ruimte en de rust waarin idee\u00ebn kunnen doorsijpelen. Ik heb lang zitten piekeren over hoe de beste show op aarde plotseling in herhaling gaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ik heb het natuurlijk over ons eigen menselijke docudrama en onze neiging om onze verhalen uit het verleden zichzelf te laten herhalen. In plaats van nieuwere, meer oogverblindende technicolor extravaganza's te cre\u00ebren. Ik heb op deze menselijke neiging gezinspeeld in minstens \u00e9\u00e9n vorige post<\/a>. Maar ook in andere posts, als subtekst. Zoals ik al zei, het heeft een tijdje in mijn hoofd rondgesijpeld. Als je wilt, duik er dan met me in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We zijn wat we zijn, onze eigen speciale creatie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ik speel al jaren met deze vraag. Wie zijn wij als soort? Wat onderscheidt ons, als er al iets is, van alles wat zich in miljarden jaren heeft ontwikkeld? Ik heb mijn idee\u00ebn over antwoorden alleen aan een paar anderen voorgelegd. Dat proces is heel nuttig geweest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behulpzaam, dat wil zeggen, om mijn gedachten zowel scherper als doffer te maken. Verscherpen in de zin van, natuurlijk, het verduidelijken en ontwikkelen van mijn gedachten. Doven in de zin, belangrijker nog, om de grootste empathie te tonen voor onze gedeelde menselijke toestand. Dat wil zeggen, ik kan vaak veroordelend zijn over mijn eigen en dus ook over andermans minder dan perfecte aard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dat gezegd hebbende, laten we verder gaan. Kijk eens naar de afbeelding hieronder. Het is een perfecte belcurve. Mijn voorstelling van wie we gelijk zijn, is de som van ons allemaal. We verschillen van elkaar. Dat is duidelijk. Niemand van ons of zelfs maar een groep van ons vertegenwoordigt de breedte en de volheid van ons mens-zijn. Ieder van ons is slechts een punt onder miljarden. Alleen samen - in de som van elk individueel punt - wordt onze menselijkheid gerealiseerd en begrepen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problemen, conflicten, ontstaan wanneer we niet inzien dat we slechts een solitair punt zijn. Wanneer we ons niet aansluiten bij anderen en hun individuele gegevens niet aan die van ons toevoegen. En omgekeerd ook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welkom bij de Greatest Show On Earth!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ongeveer een week geleden las ik twee zeer doordachte stukken in The New York Times. Het ene is van een viroloog waarin hij zijn gedachten deelt over de toekomst van de Covid-19 pandemie<\/a>. Het andere stuk is van een historicus die schrijft over de vooruitzichten voor democratie<\/a> in het licht van de meest recente ineenstorting van de Italiaanse regering. Samen hielpen ze om mijn gedachten over onze menselijke conditie samen te vatten. Dat wil zeggen, hoe we echt de Greatest Show On Earth kunnen opvoeren. Ge\u00efnteresseerd?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
