Historias de esquimales

Dado que mi vida se ha tornado depresivamente aburrida (para mi, esto es bueno ahora, después de tanta zozobra emocional con mis "amigos"), he decidido "publicar" (claro, entre comillas... ya que ¿cuánto publico tengo?) mis opiniones sobre los libros que leo.

Terminé el fin de semana "El país de las sombras largas" ("Top of the world" es su título original) de Hans Ruesch. Este libro nos platica la vida de una familia esquimal del norte: cómo cazan, cómo viven, cómo se reproducen. Cuando comencé a leer me pareció "pesado" dadas las narraciones de la forma en que se alimentan: de repente me parecía crudo imaginarme a un hombre dándole una mordida al hígado recién salido del cuerpo de un oso.

Los usos y costumbres descritos al respecto de los esquimales chocan por completo con lo que uno podría considerar "civilizado" y "moral". Sin embargo, hay una parte en la que los esquimales van en busca del "hombre blanco" y ahí es el comienzo de la infelicidad de la familia que tan bién se la pasaba antes de que la semilla de la curiosidad hacia los hombres blancos quedara sembrada en el pecho de Ernenek (el padre de la familia).

Echándole una pensada, la forma en que ellos se desenvolvían en su medio y el cómo tomaban la vida me parece lo más cercano a la felicidad simple que todos deberíamos buscar. Maldito sea el afán de complicarlo todo.

Una de las cosas que me llamó muchísimo la atención fué la forma de hablar de los esquimales: en tercera persona. Así, cuando leía "alguien tiene que hacerte una pregunta" o "una mujer no puede dormir" al principio me descontrolaba, hasta que recordaba que se referían a ellos mismos cuando hablaban como de alguien más.

El libro no es mío: un amigo del trabajo lo pidió prestado para prestármelo. Le agradezco a RB todas las molestias que se tomó para que llegara a mis manos. Está muy padre y lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Comments:
Tengo una historia parecida. No sucedió en un libro pero pasó hace poco en la vida real. Fui con A, mi novia, a la inauguración de un taller enorme, creo que para camiones, de uno de mis pacientes. El caso es que este hombre tiene bastante plata, como se dice por ahí, pero tuvo la mala suerte de gastarse un pastón arreglándose la boca para que al poco tiempo, año escaso, tenga yo que sacarle varias piezas y volver a re-arreglársela, sumándole nuevos gastos a los primeros que no fueron pequeños. Su mujer me preguntaba por qué era más barato que el otro dentista y yo le contestaba que era por una razón muy clara: no tengo mercedes, ni barco, ni soy socio de un club de golf. Tengo que ganar para vivir y vivo bien, pero la felicidad para mí reside en cosas tan pequeñitas como poder llevar a mi novia a cenar entre semana o tomarme una cerveza con mi socio al salir de la consulta. A lo mejor es un pensamiento pobre, pero soy un esquimal feliz.
 
Eso en realidad me permite volver al tema tratado en el post "Necesidades reales". Qué bueno que eres feliz así, deberíamos seguir todos tu ejemplo. Yo no puedo con este maldito afán consumista.
 
Debo comentarles que es interesante vuestra opinión a lo que debo agregar, si queremos vivir en un mundo equilibrado y sustentable, no debemos adquirir lo que queremos si no basicamente lo que necesitamos, con esto no le quitariamos el delicioso mordisco a un esquimal en el polo norte o a un niño hambriento en Burundi Africa. Saludos!

Everyone who is involved in any kind of gaming, gambling, or betting as heard the stories of legendary people who have supposedly created the next foolproof betting system and have used the system themselves to help them to avoid losing and get higher profits over the long haul. The fact is that there is not a system in existence that can guarantee you that you will definitely be successful and never lose.

On the other hand if you were to lose then you would wager twice what your original bet was. According to proponents of the system, this strategy will eventually enable you to win the bets you place and when you win you would recover all your lost bets plus one unit profit against your initial wager.

The second group fares a lot worse because, unfortunately for them, the variance in the "value" range will be different for each of them, and it will also vary considerably from bet to bet, making the concept of value mere words (and therefore meaningless). he reality is that the majority of people do not have any means whatsoever of identifying "true" value bets.
