I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul
"Invictus" William Ernest Henley
sacado de la peli del mismo nombre sobre el mundial de rugbi en Sudáfrica. (1)
También hay una cuestión política que he dudado en comentar por que no parece momento de buscar polémicas, pero que carajo, una vez más, es mi blog. Para el 92% de catalanes que nos sentimos españoles,
(1) Viene a cuento, no solo por el país, sino por que es el poema que inspira a Mandela a seguir su camino sin dejarse atrapar por los rencores del pasado (tras 27 años de prisión). Tal como lo entiendo yo viene a decir no solo que no voy a dejarme vencer por mis enemigos, sino que no voy a permitir que el rencor domine mi camino. No es solo un poema de victoria, es un poema de independencia emocional, no solo no se trata de no desfallecer, sino de no permitir que el agresor determine tus emociones, tus objetivos... I am the captain of my soul. Es el poema que el presidente envía al capitán de la selección de Sudáfrica para inspirarlo a la victoria en la copa del mundo de rugby, para unir a un país. Gran poema, gran película, gran victoria.

Where Do I Go From Here lyrics (Words & music by Paul Williams)
If I knew the way I'd go back home, but
The countryside has changed so much I'd surely end up lost
Half-remembered names and faces so far in the past
On the other side of the bridges that were burned once they were crossed
Tell me where, where does a fool go when there's no-one left to listen To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here Where will I go from here
Get back home where my childhood dreams and wishes still outnumber my regrets
Go back to a place where I can figure all the odds Have a fighting chance to lose the blues and win my share of bets
Tell me where, where does a fool go when there's no-one left to listen To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here Where will I go from here
Tell me where, where does a fool go when there's no-one left to listen To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here Where will I go from here
Tell me where, where does a fool go when there's no-one left to listen To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here Where will I go from here
Tell me where, where does a fool go when there's no-one left to listen To a story without meaning that nobody wants to hear
Tell me where, where does a fool go when he knows there's something missing
Tell me where, where will I go from here Where will I go from here
