V Biennial of humor luíz d ' Oliveira Guimarães - Penela 2016
"the honey to the sting"
By: Osvaldo Macedo De Sousa
" the humorism represents the most sane of all the philosophies, which is that of which you know laugh.
The Entertainer commenting through its irony men and the facts that gravitate around him,
Produces, when he does with the higher spirit and conceituoso criterion, a profound moral work.
That's why even the joy of the humorists nor ever ceases to be illusory.
How many times the little mask color pink that they bear on the face,
Hide a tear poignant! The irony that comes off of your "Verve" Clever Cover-up,
Somehow, the drama that the world offers day-to-day. To your comment the act."
(log. In "between us that no one can hear us" page. 68)
What binds the bee and the cartoonist, the spirit of the honey or the satire of the stinger?
As in everything in life, depends on the perspective of each one and, if the truth is never on one side or the other, and much less in the center but in the essence of beings, of things, relationships, my walking around for this metaphorical Theme are no crutches, ramblings of thought, doors for each one to follow his way of humorous reflection on topic selected for this biennial, agreeing or disagreeing completely of what is written.
The Bee, or beekeeping, with the exploitation of all derivatives inherent in the activity of this bug, is connected to the man, since this has become aware of your spirit, energy and we have also opened the mind to be able to look at the world of appearances Become aware, in addition to the mirror, think also of the mist of words and perspectives.
Graphically found their first representations of around 7.000 a. C., In cave paintings of araña - Valencia. In Ancient Egypt (from 3.200 a. C.) Is associated with royalty, Pharaoh Assembler in a single hive - federation of all regions of Egypt: the real title of Pharaoh was nyswbit, where bit means bee and it is the symbol of lower Egypt. According to their mythology, bit was generated from the tears of ra (the God-Sun) to fall upon the earth, and as a being of multiple riches and therapeutic characteristics, at the same time that takes the iconography of the divine soul of the human being .
This spiritual connection comes in almost all cultures of antiquity, representing, a lot of times, the belief of survival after death, the resurrection / reincarnation. This lesson to the path of the evolution of the soul leads to which has been associated with the initiatic ceremonies, in which the spirit / Word (in Hebrew " Bee " is spelled " dbure ", Whose root dbr means verb / word) is purified by fire, is nurtured with Mel (the mead is the drink of the Gods) and that destroys the impurities / obstacles with his sting.
Also Christianity absorbed this universe allegorical in that Jesus is the image of the bee and the honey is the sweetness of your word / thought as food of souls and the sting the role of Christ vigilante. How much to Islam, found in chapter 16: " and your Lord inspired the bees: " build your hives in the mountains, the trees and in the rooms " /... The abdomen of them get out a liquid, diverse of colors that is healing for men. Verily in this are signs for those who reflect." The Bee, in the Vedic texts of India, is the spirit that is drunken with the pollen of knowledge. Briefly, in this brief digression in the spirit, the bee represents the spirit versus the materiality, Geometry (Divine) against the ignorance, the social order against the disorder.
Going back to the theme of the biennale, it could be said that in the beginning is the "Pollen" that in the case of the comic is the news, the daily life that is collected by the engineer, and if the bee this nectar is processed by the digestive enzymes In the cartoonist is swallowed by the look of the philosophical humor, desconstruindo the superfluous to regurgitate in irony, comedy or satire. Just like the honey, not all the moods have the same color, not all laugh in the same way, or the same subjects, as much as we'd like to impose global village for all beings, things and thoughts. Depending on the fields, the blooms, the pollens collected and the techniques of preparation, there are several colours, aromas and tastes in honey. The laughter, even as the universal divine light in the recognition of human frailty, is viewed or reacts in every culture and in each geographical area, in every field of education in a different way. The laughter, the comedian, the humor, is the result of pollens collected that, depending on their treatments, may have space of tasting in a territory and not in another. Of course, as when the honey that is pure, with the time tends to crystallize, since it has not been subjected to temperatures that destroy your side bactericide, also the humor pure crystallizes in time, and for more years that pass, Laps that life give, is always present, incisive and active.
The Bee is a social animal, symbol of work and loyalty, but also a warrior in the defence of the community, when you feel threatened, using his sting. In the same way, the humor is a formula of thought sweet that makes us break barriers of sociability, combat the pessimism, dilute your sorrows, building social balance by philosophical smile may however farpear, when the politician, the intolerance, the abuse of power Put the community in danger.
The Bee Sting / humorist is connected to a venous system that causes an allergic effect, gravity that is dependent on the immune system. In the case of satire, the pattern of reaction to the concomitant toxicity is the educational level of the victim, the level of your sense of humor, ability to self-criticism, deafness, blindness or mental intolerance. Already the Greek philosopher epicetus had said: "it's not the events of the world that are the problem, but our way of looking at them".
There are many ways to look and don't want to see, and in this moment that we live in a serious displacement of people, migration, in which the needs, sometimes mingle with expediency, mafias, fundamentalism, in which the tolerance plays with other Intolerance, the allegory of the honey bee is one way of looking at this phenomenon because she too, like humanity, is in a period of severe crisis. As Einstein: " if the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, humanity will only have four more years of existence, without bees there's no more pollination (she is responsible for 80 to 90 % of this natural phenomenon), There is no reproduction of the flora flora, without no animals, no animals there will be no human race ". The balance of biodiversity, as of multiculturalism is fundamental. What puts you in danger this be? The policies of pesticides, the overcrowding of beekeeping (which recommends 800 meters between each apiary), That creates wars between hives and migration, parasitic disease varroasis, the wasp velutina nigotorax.... In Comparison, we can also mention that the policies of oppression they destroy the freedom of expression, humorous that the parasitic disease of political correctness stifles mind philosophical and the wasp of terrorism kills creativity. The wasp in addition to cut off the head of the bees, settles in to the door of the hives this funking with stress, with the fear of out to the street and die of hunger...
The Honey is one of the food of the body with greater energy value, rich in vitamins, minerals and bactericide, what gives high therapeutic power (such as other products linked to the bees), Complicity with the humor. The " Apitherapy " as " geloterapia ", Are fundamental alternative medicines because the laughter, by-product of humor, when "explodes" exerts its impact on the muscular system, central nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, immune and endocrine system....
What separates the bee of cartoonist? The Honey is consumed by everyone without observing the religions, the clubismos, the party affiliation distributing his wealth democratically, as well as his sting is used only when the safety of the hive is called into question. The comedy is subjective components, because the human being is fallible, and as much a philosopher who wants to be constructive in your humor, the deconstruction of the facts, which are not always partial but overall, may induce the mistakes, the biases, and that only If creates with the true freedom of the spirit, being above the tolerances and intolerances, exceed the ideologies and beliefs, to be a Democrat in order to recognise and accept the differences, as well as the force that they recognize and accept your difference. There's no better constructive criticism, philosophy, or comedy that which is made by the smile.
"/.../ The smile is the best time of the spirit. The souls that only you know laugh and sobbing are souls
I only have summer and winter. They lack the spring and autumn - which are actually,
The two seasons of nature " smiling
(log in "weekend" of 15/3/1948)
