Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants

Esto es algo que ya habia puesto en mi fotolog, pero lo quize rescatar y ponerlo aquí.

_______________________________________

You see, there are towering giants who

came before me and you, spent their lives
studying, researching, learning about things as
vast as the universe, and things as small and
mundane as how to find a minimum wage job just to
be able to afford you one more meal.

Or to buy you a bus ticket to come see them one
more time before they die at the hospital.

They are fathers and mothers.

And no matter how good or bad yours is or was, no
matter how smart or stupid, or kind or negligent,
they are or were YOUR parents.

And they had them too.

And their parents had parents.

And countless generations before them have all led
to YOU existing.

What are YOU doing with that heritage?

What are you doing with that life?

Are you worrying about something irrelevant?

You fool.

Are you worried that men aren't attracted to you
or that your current boyfriend will never commit?

You FOOL.

You are a miracle, you fool, and it is time to get
off your lazy, low class, low self-esteem butt,
and BE the woman that countless generations of
parents have sacrificed their lives for, their
pleasures for, and even their temporary life's
dreams for...

...just so YOU could exist.

YOU, and me, and every person, in our own ways,
"Stand on the Shoulders of Giants."

Desde hace algunos años he sido seguidora/fan de Dr. Paul (http://www.womenshappiness.com), Psiquiatra americano que se dedica a estudiar las relaciones romanticas. Tengo que admitir que despues de un tiempo me llego a enfadar que solo se dedicara a dar consejos para "tener una relacion mejor con tu pareja", pero lo que escribió en el ultimo mensaje de su mailing list me dejó perpleja  xD y me super encantó.
