La juventud es un tiempo para experimentar y arriesgar. Las palabras de Mario me ayudaron mucho a darme cuenta que uno tiene que disfrutar su juventud pero no solo con joda y fiestas.También tenemos que buscar y explorar para ver quienes somos, desarrollar nuestra identidad, encontrarnos y aceptarnos tal como somos. Comparto que es fundamental encontrarnos con la naturaleza, mas para mi generación tecnológica que andamos siempre enchufados. Aunque suene medio de hippie, la naturaleza es muy sabia, y si uno la escucha y intenta entender, te enseña mucho de como vivir. Es lindo pensar que somos dueños de nuestro destino y que con esfuerzo y voluntad podemos crear nuestro futuro.

Translation

Whats Left for the young to try?

Whats left for the young to try i this world of patience and disgust?
Only Graffiti? Rock? Skepticism?
They still have to not say Amen
not allow others to destroy their love
recover speech and Utopia
Be young without hurry and with memory
Situate themselves in a story that is all of their own
not turn into premature old people.

Whats left for the young to try in this world of routine and ruins?
Cocaine? Beer? Mobs and mosh pits?
They are still to breathe. Open their eyes.
Discover the roots of horror
Invent peace, even if they have to fight for it.
Understand themselves with Nature,
and with the rain and lightening,
and with feelings and with death
that crazy one that ties and unties

Whats left for young people to try in this world of consumption and smoke?
Vertigo? Assaults? Discos?
They are still to argue with god and wether he exists or not
to have hands that help. Open doors in their own hearts and those of others
Above all they are still to make the future
in spite of the ruins of the past and the rogues of the present

-Mario Benedetti
