A Letter to a Poetic Mind That is Thinking of Suicide

Ignorance is essential to life. What do I have to tell you? What do I have to tell you about yourself that I know people with? When a person reaches the tragedy that you are in, it will be too late for every saying, because what led you to what you are in did not reach you until after he removed from you all the reasons that made you able to complete something about the world and yourself.

Silence is first, and therefore I will tell you my silence, my confusion and my ignorance, and forever do not trust me if I write to you in this letter “I understand your suffering”, what do I understand? Consolation like this is trivial, it is a thousand times more trivial than indifference, we are isolated, no one understands anyone and every suffering is unique, every pain is forever alone and nothing is like it, because suffering does not come from what is reasonable, for calculation, indexing and examination, suffering is of gender the absurd and the incomprehensible or not, and it is futile to try to express them in words, but for this very reason, because they are neither said nor explained, and no one falls upon a description of them, they become like an illusion.

This tragedy is violently present in you and digging deep into your mind, but nevertheless it has the appearance of nothingness, it is nothing as long as it is not said and will not be said.

Illusion is the greatest authority it means that we do not understand, that which is not understood by understanding and does not fall under the perception, is the one that directs the affairs of our lives, but we are, because of our exaggeration and lack of management, we think that everything we do we start it with knowledge, awareness and control from within the mind.

What is the mind? It is true that “in every movement for you you need knowledge,” as the wise said, but it is the knowledge that creates the means, neither the beginning nor the purpose, it is knowledge that produces an action and a function, not the knowledge that leaves the fire, the fire of life blazing even in the eye of the storm.

You and I, and everyone who walks on two feet, in order to remain alive, in order to perpetuate our life, so that our passion for life and our eternal fondness for it flourish, we need a double amount of ignorance, be careful: knowledge is necessary for living, but ignorance is necessary for life, ignorance which — however — is not against completely to this life, but rather is its own strength, its drive and the necessary desire.

Tomorrow I am going to write to you more, so my beloved, do not die.
