“No question is more sublime than why there is a Universe: why there is anything rather than nothing?”

— Derek Parfit, “Why Anything, Why this?”, The London Review of Books, vol 20

É quem altera o estado de repouso. Quem incita as naus das descobertas. Quem provoca o descontentamento. Atiça para as conquistas. Abre os caminhos por ter inventado as ferramentas para tal. O deus da tecnologia. Da guerra contra a mesmice e a conformidade. Contra a conserva que mofa os projetos modernos, que atravanca os avanços. Ogum olha para frente. Para trás, apenas para não deixar parças com feridas e necessitando de ajuda. O deus do companheirismo. De copo, de gargalhada, de amanhecer o dia e virá-lo se for preciso, de voadora se alguém se atreve a mexer com quem lhe é caro. Ogum é a essência do arquitetar, do criar, do inovar, do facilitar. Para que o trabalho seja mais leve e a farra seja mais proveitosa. Porque é nas mesas de bar, entre goladas e gaitadas, que as discussões mais criativas proliferam e se concretizam. Ogunhê, de quem vai do brinde ao compromisso de irmandade por nobres ideais de mundo melhor.

Yet it was this pain, and this sense of being choked, that he needed. It was exactly what he had to acknowledge, what he had to confront. From now on, he had to make that cold core melt, bit by bit. It might take time, but it was what he had to do. But his own body heat wasn’t enough to melt that frozen soil. He needed someone else’s warmth.

You need to come face-to-face with the past, not as some naive, easily wounded boy, but as a grow-up, independent professional. Not to see what you want to see, but to see what you must see. Otherwise, you’ll carry around that baggage for the rest of your life.

Words can bring you only up to their own limit; to go beyond, you must abandon them. Remain as the silent witness only.

“Questioning the ostensibly unquestionable premises of our way of life is arguably the most urgent of services we owe our fellow humans and ourselves.”
