To become—in Jung’s terms—individuated, to live as a released individual, one has to know how and when to put on and to put off the masks of one’s various life roles. ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do,’ and when at home, do not keep on the mask of the role you play in the Senate chamber. But this, finally, is not easy, since some of the masks cut deep. They include judgment and moral values. They include one’s pride, ambition, and achievement. They include one’s infatuations. It is a common thing to be overly impressed by and attached to masks, either some mask of one’s own or the mana-masks of others. The work of individuation, however, demands that one should not be compulsively affected in this way. The aim of individuation requires that one should find and then learn to live out of one’s own center, in control of one’s for and against. And this cannot be achieved by enacting and responding to any general masquerade of fixed roles. ↗
Uma consideção que podemos fazer é a respeito da palavra "traição". De fato, examinada atentamente, ela se nos revela ambígua, não só etimológica mas também semanticamente. Sabemos que o latim tradere significava somente “entregar”. Sabemos também que os evangelhos, escolhendo esse verbo para designar o ato de Judas de entregar Jesus aos seus inimigos, carregavam-no de conotações éticas, obviamente negativas. Mas, com o tempo, o mal-entendido inicial originou outros mal-entendidos e ambiguidades: o itinerário semântico desse verbo “condenado” levou-o a significados diferentes, distantíssimos entre si e às vezes nas antípodas, literalmente opostos. “Traio” deriva do latino trado, que é composto de dois morfemas, trans e do (=dar). O prefixo trans implica passagem; de fato, todos os significados originais de trado contem a ideia de dar alguma coisa que passa de uma mão a outra. Assim, trado significa o ato de entregar nas mãos de alguém (para guarda, proteção, castigo) o ato de confiar para o governo ou o ensinamento, o dar em esposa, o vender, o confiar com palavras ou o transmitir, o narrar. Na forma reflexiva, tradere, o verbo significa abandonar-se a alguém, dedicar-se a uma atividade. O substantivo correspondente, traditio, significa “entrega”, “ensinamento”, “narração”, “transmissão de narrações”, “tradição”. Note-se que o “nomem agentis” (nome do agente) traditor significa tanto “traidor” como “quem ensina”. É bom lembrar esse duplo sentido porque provavelmente tenha algo a ensinar talvez unicamente aquele que traiu com plena e total consciência. ↗
The world is a wide place where we stumble like children learning to walk. The world is a bright mosaic where we learn like children to see, where our little blurry eyes strive greedily to take in as much light and love and colour and detail as they can. The world is a coaxing whisper when the wind lips the trees, when the sea licks the shore, when animals burrow into earth and people look up at the sympathetic stars. The world is an admonishing roar when gales chase rainclouds over the plains and whip up ocean waves, when people crowd into cities or intrude into dazzling jungles. What right have we to carry our desperate mouths up mountains or into deserts? Do we want to taste rock and sand or do we expect to make impossible poems from space and silence? The vastness at least reminds us how tiny we are, and how much we don't yet understand. We are mere babes in the universe, all brothers and sisters in the nursery together. We had better learn to play nicely before we're allowed out..... And we want to go out, don't we? ..... Into the distant humming welcoming darkness. ↗
I heard Q-Tip on the Jungle Brothers' song 'The Promo.' It was very exciting. It was very new. The music and the culture around hip-hop was evolving. I think there's an emotional quality to their music and there's a vulnerability to the music. For me, A Tribe Called Quest was my Beatles. ↗
