The World is an Interesting Place Because of Diversity! 🧐

Hello everyone! Today, I've brought a truly intriguing story. I found myself very interested after seeing this news. 🤔 It all begins with a historical scene that started with the phrase 'Gente pa’tó'.

A Madrid Hotel Party, An Unexpected Encounter

This story unfolds at a party held in a Madrid hotel in the early 20th century. It was there that the renowned bullfighter El Gallo, whose real name was Rafael Gómez Ortega, met one of the foremost philosophers of the time, José Ortega y Gasset. According to accounts passed down, the two were introduced by the prominent literary figure of the era, José María de Cossío.

'Filo, what?' The Bullfighter's Candor

Upon realizing the man before him was a famous philosopher, bullfighter El Gallo was momentarily taken aback and asked, "Filo, ¿qué?" (Filo, what?). This brief question might have held his unique candor and innocence, perhaps somewhat distant from the world of elite intellectuals at the time.

'Everyone is Needed' – A Timeless Maxim

Later, when El Gallo learned that his conversational partner's profession was 'thinking,' he is said to have uttered a famous line: "Tié q’haber gente pa’tó." This phrase, in Spanish, means 'There must be people for everything,' and literally translates to 'There need to be all kinds of people.'

This short yet powerful statement continues to be recalled even today, conveying the message of how essential diverse individuals are to our society and how valuable each of their roles is. El Gallo grasped the very reason for the existence of all those who enrich the world, beyond just the philosopher who pursued knowledge. Isn't that truly remarkable? 👍

An Age of Thought, or an Age of Passion?

This article also poses a question: are we currently living in an age of 'thought' or an age of 'passion'? It suggests that the prestige once attributed to human intellect has now shifted to artificial intelligence, asking where the people who truly think, reason, and argue are.

We certainly see individuals who commonly raise their voices, criticize, and insult. At times, they seem to lack a sense of existence unless they are being criticized. Their arguments are not original; rather, they are akin to deflecting the criticism they deserve. This is often observed in parliamentary debates or the statements of party spokespersons, which can lead to a somber realization of reality.

Diversity is Our Society's Strength! 💪

However, we believe that the world becomes richer and more interesting precisely because there are people playing diverse roles in their respective positions, as exemplified by El Gallo's maxim. No matter how advanced artificial intelligence becomes, it cannot perfectly replicate human insight and creativity born from diverse experiences.

What are your thoughts? Why do you believe 'diverse people' are so important to our society, or do you think our current society is one of 'thought' or one of 'passion'? Please feel free to share your opinions in the comments. 😊

I hope today's story has provided you with a moment to pause and reflect. Let's appreciate the diverse beings around us and work together to create a warm world where everyone can shine in their own place! ✨
