Safety is a thumb and a blanket.

"I think one of the worst traits that a person can have is to possess sensitive areas that make others uncomfortable. No one can relax around someone who is so sensitive about his religious, political, or other beliefs that they have to watch everything they say.



There must be different kinds of loneliness, or at least different degrees of loneliness.... The most terrifying loneliness is not experienced by everyone and can be understood only by a few. I compare the panic in this kind of loneliness to the dog we see running frantically down the road pursuing the family car. He is not really being left behind, for the family knows it is to return, but for that moment in his limited understanding, he is being left alone forever, and he has to run and run to survive. It is no wonder that we make terrible choices in our lives to avoid loneliness." - Charles M. Schulz, You Really Don't Look 50 Charlie Brown.

Ahora recuerdo por qué de niño evitaba leer prolongadamente las tiras de Snoopy-Charlie Brown, son sinceramente brutales y paradójicamente humorísticas. Schulz no es cosa que un niño esté equipado para entender del todo. Creo que si las tiras de Quino han sido un termómetro de la psique del hombre y condición de la clase media, las tiras de Schulz son, como dice Art Spiegelman, Filosofía de Camiseta. Drama y crisis humanos dosificados sabiamente, diariamente. Creo que ahora puedo sí puedo irme a leer Peanuts sin empacho, Salud.
