Ricardo Lugo

He had already died before in history.

When they had already forgotten the man who remembered almost everything from the books, that was a blow.

I remember reading that after dying, between 60 and 100 years old,

It will be the period of time that will require that no one else in history, no one else who is alive, I mean, remember that you existed.

With the exception of the 0.00001% of celebrities or historical figures, we will all be forgotten quickly.

And there is something that the human being always bothers or offends him about that.

Y Mendel es un aspecto radical de esa idea.

En pocos años, no en 60, 100 después de su muerte, es ahí casi inmediato.

Es un olvido que coquetea con la violencia.

Recuerdo Funes, el memorioso de Borges.

Este hombre que después de un accidente de caballo adquiere una memoria perfecta.

Un hombre incapaz de olvidar.

Bueno, Mendel...

It is to a certain extent that, but with the books, ironically located in a world that forgets too quickly.

And perhaps that is the most human part of Mendel, which is sometimes a machine in all this history, is to want to be remembered.

The African, indigenous tribes, which are much more prone to migration to their ancestors,

It is an honor not to be forgotten, to those who are no longer here.

I have also read essays that talk about the concept of the Christian resurrection.

It was developed as an idea, in part, to avoid the oblivion of his prophet.

And that, therefore, that was added later.
