Brecht Heroes

Brecht Heroes

In early April, 1989, I had a casual conversation, of body and soul, with young people that will help us in the LBV. Here are some snippets of what I said in that dialog, then published in several newspapers in the country, on the initiative of young people themselves who honoured me with his audience: () and the guys are repeated texts (often separated from context), because so-and-so says, mengano demonstrated, sultano clinched this may be the case in a true thought of the ventilator of modern theatre, iconoclastico Brecht: unhappy people and time you need heroes. One day, by the maturity of the people, this could become a reality. But in the present, to the shores of the third millennium, the human being today still don’t know well why is born, lives and dies not to say many, including those who believe that there is life after life, supported or even think that there is life before life hence absurd such as abortion. Legalize it will solve the side legal, but certainly not of feeling, which is one of the things most beautiful and vital to that cute side of humanity, that is the woman has to offer us. Without that, run greater risk of destruction that the hole in the ozone layer, and so many other miscues that we practice against our own survival.

And know that science today already does not deny compulsively reality of the emergence of human existence from the exact moment of fertilization. However, we reiterate, preexists the spirit to matter and, consequently, their individuality is dramatically achieved by action abortive, with proven psychological sequelae to the maternal feeling, in this and in another existence, because the dead don’t die.
