INSPIRATION: FAITH


Carine Roitfeld by Karl Lagerfeld for Visionaire's issue devoted to religion
Religion is anything you believe in

INSPIRATION: WE MUST BELIEVE!


IN THIS...



OR IN THAT...




We are experiencing hard times of economic crisis that leads to moral crisis and the lack of values because we contested the old ones but we can´t replaced them for new ones. So we are also experiencing great changes in our lifestyle and we all know that it was impossible to return to our unconscious state of consumerist minds. But we are human beings and humanity after all must believe in something mainly when we feel a kind of lost. Doesn't matter that we believe in Cinderella's love stories or in a pope who make/made miracles. The true doesn't matter at all but the true in what we can believe that make us feel better and less fragile humans.

Estamos a experenciar tempos muito difíceis não só de crise financeira e económica como de crise moral e de valores. Somos filhos e netos dos contestatários dos anos 60 que apregoaram o fim de uma época, mas, não souberam os nossos pais e depois não soubemos nós criar uma ordem de valores nova que substituisse aqueles que vilipendiamos como os males do mundo. Estamos a experienciar grandes mudanças no nosso estilo de vida e sabemos que este é um caminho sem retorno e que temos de alterar a nossa forma de vida consumista e irresponsável para com os nossos descendentes e o nosso planeta. É natural que nos sintamos perdidos porque não vislumbramos uma boa substituição para aquele mundo que conhecemos e no qual fomos felizes enquanto durou. Mas, como seres humanos que somos temos uma capacidade de acreditar quase ilimitada e quanto mais dificuldades mais necessidade temos de acreditar, não na Verdade se é que ela existe, mas, na verdade em que possamos ter fé de que nem tudo está perdido, venha essa verdade na forma de uma história de amor de Cinderela ou na forma de um Papa que faz/fez milagres. Uma verdade que nos legitime a fé e nos faça sentir bem e menos fragilmente humanos.
