When I was a kid and read for the first time Gull Jhonatan Livingston, I just could not understand how it was possible that a seagull was so intelligent and good isolation from others simply because of its diversity. But today I can say that the day be able to compact the diversity in unity without losing herself it will mean that the world will be finally changing. I always hated intellectuals who claim a place in society above others, for the simple fact of knowing, for having devoted a lifetime to investigate a topic. Life is not a school of thought, life is not a single color, do not follow a single road, it is made of curved, sometimes takes indefinite tones, blends and mixes depending on events, tosses you, embraces you, stuns you, and the more you live with more intensity you can feel their own.
The true intellectual, is the thinker, or a person uses the brain to deal with the diversity that life offers. Intellego in Latin is to think, reflect, is not knowing. It is definitely not the lover of a thought or regard to the changing fortunes of a nation. Only those who are able to analyze the times, adapt, understand and explain them to himself, can succeed in the difficult task of living society with justice and social sense. I do not think I do not want to think of a homo homini lupus, not can you believe that matters are the foundation of human relations, if so then my life would take the black and between me and an animal there would be no difference. We must always believe in the human and appreciate its diversity, as the day we cease to do so will simply be a sad day.
