Memories and frauds

22/11/2021 Nilson Lattari

History is a web of information through time that links other small histories. When a man or a woman dies, they take with them their memories. After that, their knowledge is lost, even if they were wise or not. It’s like a museum, a library that disappears and vanishes in the air, and it’s not possible to rebuild it. Their disappointments and triumphs are despised because they are old-fashioned, outdated, but mistakes and successes are lessons.
There is silence in the old people’s eyes. They are older and more tired of seeing young people do the same things they did before. They know that their advice will not be followed. The silence of their eyes reflects the warning, but they are afraid of critics and know that a few people will hear them.
Some people are brave enough to point out mistakes, and sometimes they smile if they guess that everything that was projected by others will be a disaster. And people don’t care about it. Not everyone has this knowledge because he doesn’t have life experience. Although some people have experienced bad experiences, they didn’t learn anything and have made the same mistakes; they try again, with plenty of hope.
Traps work in the same way. New life actors and old audiences are those who lose opportunities to learn more from them.
There is a people’s arrogance to explore the world, but they refuse to learn from the older people’s knowledge. It is the most evident signal that something is going to the garbage. Making questions about our doubts is not an insult because it’s important to seek the historical truth in the books. But the people’s memories are skills and keys to dismantle old traps camouflaged in “news things”.
If memories are despised, we will make obvious things. New charms to disguise suspicious business are traps to seduce inexperienced people who are attracted by apparent news and gains.
Oppressors and memories are the same characters. They are redundant. The oppressors’ thoughts survive throughout generations, and they manage the same fantasies to attract those who don’t want to be old-fashioned or don’t seem like that. Memory is old and wise. The process of domination by powerful people is wise as well, because they imagine themselves astute, and their strategy is to divide the world. There aren’t traps in memories because they don’t lie to themselves. Therefore, they are the antidote for fraud.
But, it’s necessary to dominate people to compete with memories, and renew old narratives to young people to sell them camouflaged as news products.,
No. New ideas aren’t terrible because imagination is an important segment in creating new things and ways of life. But if new ideas fit into old structures, they will be the same. It’s necessary to “educate” people to prepare them for the “new” and at the same time to prevent people from building an imaginary world out of the box, and not look for a new way to live.
Old and memory fight an ancient fight. Both fight with the new. The first tries to be a new way of thinking, while the second keeps the lessons to avoid those old ideas reborn.
Despising memories is fighting against an old illness, without a vaccine.
