Always already happened? Fuck off! In his time
I have often said, I hate, I loathe nostalgia. I am particularly disgusted by the glorification of adolescence as a blessed moment, idyllic, where they lived fully, where we do not fear to abandon himself to his passions, where they were searching for the infinite. Needless to say I am even more disgusted by the representation of adolescence as a period of genuine rebellion - probably, I will not deny, because I myself was so little rebellious in my teens. They are just devices to defuse anything that might later disrupt the social order or at least when these forces are not channeled into a political project, affect the performance of the optimal individual within the system.
Imagine that I spend a lot of time grumbling. These ideas are so commonly accepted that such evidence does not call into question
In this regard, I was reading a comic last night by Michel Rabagliati, Paul a summer job and Paul apartment. In recent weeks, I started reading comics passionately. Purely circumstantial. I wanted to read more comics for a while and then I was a little contact with analysis of BD and I thought, let's go merrily. I read some classics, including the magnificent Blankets by Craig Thompson , and I also decided to read all Paul . Rabagliati has a power evocative rarely equaled. He has a special gift to draw pictures and words and bring out those hand back instantly places and eras they represent, with a force of impressive accuracy. What is fascinating about Rabagliati is also his ability to represent the common experience. Paul is the average Quebecer. Unnecessary to resort to statistics, one need only read the comics Rabagliati. He has a deep sensitivity, intelligence and a sense of exceptional observation that allow it to teach us and show us so much that all these polls that claim to two under with great fanfare to give a portrait of Quebec.
And then, of course, the idea of adolescence as a period of the greatest excitement is present in Rabagliati, especially in Paul has a summer job and even more in the comparison can be done between Paul has a summer job and Paul apartment. I am often amazed or affected by reading Paul , but yesterday late Paul has a summer job and then chaining Paul apartment I in fine gun! After relating a story of teenage love, the narrator of Paul has a summer job wrote that the passion he had felt was unbeatable e and said point blank that this idea is shared by all people with whom he discussed teenage love. According to him at any other time after adolescence is it possible to live with such intensity the experience of love. In the following comics, Paul tells the story of his early relationship with the woman with whom he founded a family, he describes with affection and admiration, but without the enthusiasm that carries its evocations his summer love. I found it so sad ...
Paul is right: everyone agrees on this idea. It merely multiply my disgust. And also my grief ... How is it possible to be as resigned from her love life? "Once I experienced the great love, passion, and now it is no longer possible. And why would not it be? What prevents us if we do, how can we accept to live her life with anyone other than a person with whom we share a complicity absolute someone never ceases to amaze us, we admire, we always want to eat from head to toe, which makes us mad happy and mad with desire? How can we accept less than that? As well as live in the boredom and frustration, not only is it better to stay single? But of course, people are rarely able to live alone and, paradoxically, often reject the greatest opportunities to live a passionate love ...
so I do not want to be like them. My great love is not in the distant past. My great love is now, every day more passionate, strong and beautiful.
How could I accept being a couple otherwise? The truth is that I'm lucky. The truth however is that if people were not so cowardly and concerned about the opinions of others, they would only make matters of social status and money that undermine so often "adult dating" ...
