Estar en la piel de otro y vivir sus problemas… ¿Cómo se sentirá? Bueno, tal vez sea como ese niño de Game Of Thrones, que volteando sus ojos se metía en la piel de otros para controlarlos como títeres. Pero, no hablo de controlar, hablo de vivir sus mismas experiencias, de ser ellos y sentir lo que sienten.
Being in the shoes of another and living their problems... How will it feel? Well, maybe it's like that kid from Game Of Thrones, who rolling his eyes got into the skin of others to control them like puppets. But I am not talking about controlling, I am talking about living their same experiences, being them and feeling what they feel.
Muchos anhelamos ser como determinadas personas, tal vez igual de famosas, de talentosas, de exitosas y hermosas. Sin embargo, como solo queremos ser como los aparentemente buenos, obviamos a los que la pasan mal porque vale ¿Quién quiere ser como alguien que no sirve para nada?
Many of us long to be like certain people, perhaps just as famous, talented, successful, and beautiful. However, as we only want to be like the seemingly good, we ignore those who have a hard time because that's okay. Who wants to be like someone who is useless?
Pero, si pensáramos diferente, y deseáramos ser como el chico que reparte el periódico por las mañanas para llevar algo de comida a su casa, entenderíamos que la realidad de la vida es menos material de lo que llegamos a reflexionar. Tal vez ese chico no sea apuesto ni tenga joyas lujosas, aunque si lo miramos más de cerca, notaremos que es alguien trabajador, y que se esfuerza para dar su granito de arena.
But, if we thought differently, and we wanted to be like the boy who hands out the newspaper in the morning to bring some food home, we would understand that the reality of life is less material than we come to reflect. Perhaps that boy is not handsome or has luxurious jewelry, although if we look more closely, we will notice that he is someone hard-working, and that he tries to give his bit.

Si tan solo viviéramos un minuto en la piel de los pobres, por ejemplo, comenzaríamos a valorar las pequeñas cosas, aquellas de las que nos quejamos tanto y que al final no son más que tonterías. Yo, por ejemplo, cuando yo era niño mi madre siempre me decía al poner la comida en la mesa para el almuerzo:
-Cómanse todo, ya saben que en el mundo hay personas que desearían comer al menos un grano de arroz.
If we only lived for a minute in the shoes of the poor, for example, we would begin to appreciate the little things, those that we complain so much about and that in the end are nothing more than nonsense. Me, for example, when I was a child my mother always told me when putting food on the table for lunch:
-Eat everything, you know that in the world there are people who would like to eat at least one grain of rice.
Me burlaba de ella porque siempre nos decía lo mismo. A veces, me quejaba porque comíamos mucho pollo, o porque todas las noches cenábamos pan con jamón y leche. Como había comida en abundancia, se amontonaba en la alacena, y para que no se descompusiera se la preparábamos a los perros, que se deleitaban con platos exquisitos.
I made fun of her because she always told us the same thing. Sometimes I would complain because we ate a lot of chicken, or because every night we had bread with ham and milk for dinner. As there was food in abundance, it was piled up in the cupboard, and so that it would not spoil we prepared it for the dogs, who delighted in exquisite dishes.
Mi madre preparaba la comida y, como era mucha, lo que quedaba lo botábamos. A veces un kilo completo de pasta iba a la basura, al igual que arroz, o el pollo…
My mother prepared the food and, since it was a lot, we threw away what was left. Sometimes a whole kilo of pasta went to the garbage, like rice, or chicken...
Muchos años después, la crisis nos golpeó, sacudió a una nación que vivía de la abundancia para caer en las sobras. Comprendí, tal vez tarde, lo que decía mi mamá cuando era más joven. No fue necesario entrar en otra piel para darme cuenta que desperdiciamos mucha comida, despilfarramos el dinero, y que ahora estábamos pangando con creces los despilfarros del pasado.
Many years later, the crisis hit us, shook a nation that lived on abundance to fall on the leftovers. I understood, perhaps late, what my mother said when she was younger. It was not necessary to enter another skin to realize that we were wasting a lot of food, wasting money, and that now we were more than offsetting the waste of the past.

Basta que vivamos las realidades amargas para valorar la nuestra. A veces nos enfocamos en solo renegar sin darnos cuenta que allá afuera, hay personas que quisieran tener lo poco que nosotros tenemos. Deberíamos reflexionar cuando nos quejamos porque nuestra camisa no nos queda bien, o porque tenemos la nariz demasiado grande.
It is enough that we live the bitter realities to appreciate our own. Sometimes we focus on just denying without realizing that out there, there are people who would like to have what little we have. We should reflect when we complain because our shirt doesn't fit us, or because our nose is too big.
En lugar de quejarnos, deberíamos agradecer por la fortuna de la vida, esa que nos permite seguir luchando y soñando, rodeados de seres queridos y amados. Si tan solo nos metiéramos en la piel de otros y viviéramos lo que ellos viven tal ve fuéramos más comprensivos, pero sobre todo, agradecidos.
Instead of complaining, we should be grateful for the fortune of life, that which allows us to continue fighting and dreaming, surrounded by loved ones and loved ones. If we only got into the shoes of others and lived what they live, we might be more understanding, but above all, grateful.
