He is slowly dying

he who does not travel,

he who does not read,

the one who does not listen to music,

the one who does not know how to find

thanks to his eyes. He is slowly dying

he who destroys his self-esteem,

the one who never lets himself be helped. He is slowly dying

the one who becomes a slave to habit

redoing the same paths every day,

the one who never changes his bearings,

Never risk changing the color

of his clothes.

Or never talk to a stranger. He is slowly dying

the one who avoids passion

and its whirlwind of emotions

those who restore light to the eyes

and repair wounded hearts. He is slowly dying

the one who doesn't change course

when he is unhappy

at work or in love,

the one who doesn't take risks

to make your dreams come true,

the one who, not once in his life,

did not shy away from sound advice.

Live now!

Risk yourself today!

Act now!

Do not let yourself die slowly !

Do not deprive yourself of being happy !

Pablo Neruda
