Un hombre que cultiva un jardín, como quería Voltaire.
El que agradece que en la tierra haya música.
El que descubre con placer una etimología.
Dos empleados que en un café del Sur juegan un silencioso ajedrez.
El ceramista que premedita un color y una forma.
Un tipógrafo que compone bien esta página, que tal vez no le agrada
Una mujer y un hombre que leen los tercetos finales de cierto canto.
El que acaricia a un animal dormido.
El que justifica o quiere justificar un mal que le han hecho.
El que agradece que en la tierra haya Stevenson.
El que prefiere que los otros tengan razón.
Esas personas, que se ignoran, están salvando el mundo.
Violeta and I have decided to start a new blog with interviews to the kind of people that Borges dubs Los Justos (the fair ones), i.e. people who have things to say to all of us, but don’t have a tribune from where they can make us arrive their voices. People of all kind of social and intellectual background, of all kind of ideology. We want to know all the different ways to look at the world, and to see things. We want to learn from them all.
In principle, we had thought on following the model of interview in the section la Contra of the Spanish newspapaper la Vanguardia, but on second thoughts we decided against establishing a limit on the types of questions and answers, and rather decided on limiting their number. Therefore, we are going to stick to interviews of ten personalized questions the interviewee will be able to answer the way she prefers: the ten questions you would ask a stranger to get to know her a little better, to know how she sees things, what she has to say, etc.
We don’t assume that our blog is just now anything like a far-reaching tribune, from where everybody will be able to listen to these voices. However, we do see it as a first step in the way to reach some other people. Maybe some of these materials will get somewhere else, and simply that will already have provided a full justification for the blog... And at the very least, we ourselves will benefit of the many treasures hidden in the wisdom of the fair ones.
In the end, the dream of that new blog would be becoming a Wikipedia of the personal individual points of view of every single person in the world.
I really hope that this initiative will become a reality in our lives.
