State Fair, Henry King, 1933

''Our issues all come down to a society that perpetuates a lack of love for mankind in general (one of our greatest weaknesses is the desire to judge ourselves and others, however, we’ve been trained to accept judgemental behavior without question from day one) along with a total loss of balancing and valuing the things that we should value most. The society we were unfortunately born into pits us against one another from the start in school, often not encouraging us to help others who aren’t doing well but to be proud that we’ve “achieved” more than those around us have and setting that as our standard for doing well in life. Celebrities and internet stars are a perfect example of people being valued and glorified over others for no reason other than vanity and setting lavish living standards. Have they contributed more to our species than our greatest philosophers and scientists? Rarely. Will they be forgotten before our greatest philosophers and scientists? Absolutely. From birth, your greatest right is your freedom to simply be human. To enjoy this life. All of our loved ones have that right. This is why so many people of all ages become rebellious, develop anxiety, depression, and are outcasted or disinterested in contributing to this society. Those people can sense in their souls that they have a right to a better life. Not a life of struggling at a job you hate to make ends meet so that you can simply “survive” and continue being a prisoner/slave to this structure. The truth is that we aren’t pawns and we don’t deserve to be treated this way. Businesses have structured complex ways of convincing us all that they can bottle and sell our freedom and joy to us through entertainment, social status and an abundance of the things that we don’t need or truly want but have been trained to desire in order to fulfill the void that they created. They’ve monopolized all structures that were built to protect us: government, medicine, law enforcement, etc. You already have access to everything that you need and they’re terrified of the day when we all figure that. Loving ourselves and others through unselfishness, respect, spirituality, speaking out against injustice, creating all forms of art, dropping judgements, etc, is the essential key for human freedom and would lead to an achievement so great that it would free not only us but everything that lives here with us. Plants, animals, this earth, and future generations can be freed by actions that we make daily. It’s our burden as humans to fight against injustice and greed but it’s a battle that can be won easily if we can learn to truly stand united. We’d make so much more progress in the right direction as a species if people would perpetuate these ideas. We’d finally be mentally capable of structuring systems that evolve with us rather than relying on outdated... everything. Life is hard and at many times horrifying, but each of us has the key to make progressive change. Do everything with love. Love yourself truly. Discover what that really means for you. Don’t hide from yourself or seek value from others. We are all human and we will all continue making mistakes. Accepting that and moving forward by growing and learning is an underrated power that we all have. Question the world around you and teach others to do the same. I have faith in humanity and I’ve found that through loving ourselves, we can change the world and end a lot of this unnecessary suffering.''

''O corpo demora a experimentar.''

Alexander’s Ragtime Band | Henry King | 1938

Não se convence que a escrita e a vida vão a par,

Descontadas diferenças de velocidade e alguma

Galhardia no tempo. O corpo demora a experimentar.

Usa-se. É o facto dos afectos. Entrou na vida? Entrou

Na escrita floral dos fiéis de amor. Não quer, todavia,

Abri-la, ainda menos lê-la. E tão teimosamente o faz

Que dificilmente um novo perfume entre sede e planta

Lhe subirá pelo caule. Ó rapariga, quando te irá cheirar

A luar libidinal?

''O corpo demora a experimentar.''"

o blue valentine na kentucky avenue

Gregory Peck + Ava Gardner in The Snows of Kilimanjaro, Henry King, 1952

podemos cantar um canção os dois
a valsa da matilde do waits
a voz do vinagre onde o álcool se transforma em
som

algures no nosso oeste
cactos e bagaço
o blue valentine na kentucky avenue

uma lágrima numa longa
noite sem fim
porque esperamos?
não sei
juro que não sei
sentada na berma
ja tenho doses de noites a
mais
de esquinas e portas
de adeus em adeus
elas não suportam a separação
não choram mais porque secaram
i never talk to strangers

o som da cidade
fica restabelecido e já não tenho horas
o relógio parou
e eu fiz um gesto obsceno
e desapareci

Terna é a noite.

“She smiled at him, making sure that the smile gathered up everything inside her and directed it toward him, making him a profound promise of herself for so little, for the beat of a response, the assurance of a complimentary vibration in him.” 
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night

Terna é a noite, Henry King, 1962

Terna é a noite. "
