I just asked an Italian friend, what’s your Political Party orientation? Are you left of right wing?
We barely talk to each other properly since I can’t speak any Italian neither him any Portuguese. Yes, both are Neo Latin languages, I can’t count how many times Brazilian soap operas fake Italian accents, habits or whatever it seems close to an almost European background which is just a small percentage of our population. This small percentage is little peasants who came to work in our coffee plantations. Media tries to impose we are these white people, white as snow. Genuinely, we’re most African, Indigenous, Exiled Prisoners from Portugal, Exiled Prostitutes from Portugal, New Christians (Jews), a whole mixed pot but not ‘melting’.
Let’s come back to the point. Roberto just answered:
_ Sinistra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Believe it or not with more bangs I wrote here. Now I’m just thinking of the word itself and the lexical affection it carries. I’d just say the basic wings of Political orientation in Portuguese: direita and esquerda, pretty close to English, right or left wing. What’s direita is right, but what it is not, not exactly wrong.
Then, I’m thinking of his answer again. Everytime you are different from the other it can be an amazing discover of yourself which captivates in you your own values or like in Maths... If we don’t learn by the example you learn it by the counterexample. There’s always an exception for the rules, which doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
I dare to translate it in an inapropriate way, we have many false cognates in Neo Latin languages. However, thinking of the false cognates for esquerda or left in Italian, there is a well thought purpose for this lexical choice. The sinister may awake the incredible but deepest innerself desires, it may be part of you. It may be something good, or some charmed evil. What’s unknown it’s just the discomfort for the arrogance of a drilled opinion position, we are fast-thinkers! Ready! Go! Now! Again! Again! Over n’ over, again!
I’m advising everyone to take care. Don’t take this way! You may find that everything you learn for life was just some sinister fairy tale. There are examples of how things went wrong and power corrupts people, since this, power should never be shared among or done by the people. You must find the one with the appropriate background, appropriate readings, appropriate mix of colour (of course, too pale is not fashion at all and too dark, too cheap), appropriate smile. Because any sinister way some countries took they killed more people than lonely Natzi Germany. I’d like to have the statistics of murders which the motif were to get a wealthy reward insurance or to feed some sick addiction, a starving child.
You may find that this warmth thing going through your chest it’s not an abstract noun, but substantial part of you. You may look for the next and fell something beyond any greediness, some faint love for the next. Love may be the most harmed word in translation, to lose it’s strentgh it was split up in many parts apart. I’d try to find it piece by piece briefly in this piece, which I hope should never end: solidarity, affection, hope, fraternity, friendship, sensuality, harmony, tolerance, communion, satisfaction, happiness.
And I hope people will defy this rule and be enough Romantic to name Love even more.
