THE WISDOM OF THE MADMAN GALLERY
AN IMPORTANT MEETING
In the town of the man called the
Madman, many learned men of different traditions got together:
Mathematicians, mystics and many others wanted to decide who was the
wisest among them. And for that purpose, they designed a very
delicate concept which was to find the man who could put together a
great contradiction, it had to be something very different,
something that could represent Good and evil and to make the issue
more difficult, it would have to be something that in appearance did
not represent distrust or violence. But we can give a clue: By example, in a sword, we can find life and death and its use will give its real purpose, thus it must not be something as radical and it can't be sharp, hurtful but we can finally say that what seems innocent may not be it as much. So, it must be something more evident, but never insolent and here we mean that almost everything has a duality. Money, by example, can
attract Good and evil, then, it will not be accepted any relativity
where the issue turns out evident in itself but at the same time, it
must be something transparent and which for its condition may
naturally select Good from evil; and Good must never be a topic
about religion or politics because we don't want to bring a conflict
but what we want is to understand the human genius that can solve
this issue between one or the other, which means, Good from evil.
Besides, who is in truth the human being? And then, this was informed and many people applied, bringing the best of their repertoire about the invention, which must show Good as much as evil united and separated. And who is capable of expressing in a simple and eloquent way and to resolve what happens in the own human being? Because this is the idea: To find the window that shows the inner side and allows to see the heart, the most intimate, where can be seen Good and evil. How to see them, although they will never be compatible with the purpose of negotiating in some way. Who can reveal hypocrisy? Who will lift the veil? Many of the
persons who applied to the contest, did not dare to show their work,
since they said that it was impossible. But there was one who was
firm, proud, creative and brought a frame without a picture and
said: " You can see what you want to see. Each person will see his
reality or fiction." " I will give the answer to the dilemma but before, I would like to ask if any of you dare to live with the mystery of guilt, whatever it may be? And if he could, to show that he is a being with great power." And the others said: " Since he is mad, what is he talking about, it cannot be understood what he is saying, he must not be allowed to continued." But the Madman continued by opening the bag and bringing out a red hat. The old people, applauded and said among themselves: " This is the revelation. Who dares to wear the red hat? Since, that person immediately accepts that is guilty. Who dares to accept the guilt, whatever it may be.? But the one who dares to wear the hat, would be a courageous man by recognizing his guilt. Who could do it? Good and evil are in man, the red hat recognizes the inner battle, the hypocrisy, the lie and the truth." |
