34 kilos of silver

My friend Álex has an extraordinary voice. I’m not talking about having a beautiful voice or being good at singing. What I want to say is that your voice is extraordinary. And yet, he is not a singer. He runs a restaurant where others sing to liven up dinners, and from time to time the band on duty persuades him to take the stage. As he watches the waiters and trays out of the corner of his eye, he effortlessly opens his mouth and the whole universe sprouts within him. For those who don’t have that talent, and it’s extremely unfair to me, it’s just my curiosity if there’s a scratch, when I ask how are the baos with confit duck, Hoisin sauce, applesauce, and limes, I can’t help but ask. again about what, why, why. Is this it’s a sin for me to have talent and not use it. It’s against nature. And although I’ve come across people elsewhere who wasted their talents, they did so for two reasons: laziness or lack of understanding and opportunity; especially during adolescence, when talents bloom. Here, the sin was committed by parents who did not value talent or education systems, which thwarted the fertile ground that needed to be cultivated. Álex’s situation was similar but different: his mother, a prestigious singer, dissuaded him to avoid a life of disappointments he knew better than anyone else. And here, the blame for this insatiable struggle for a foothold is widely dispersed. And talent, like love, like anything intangible, is so hard to describe that it’s one of those abused words. As the second line of the resume presumes talent, talent is demanded for a shitty job. And I’m telling you no, that’s something else. That those who swore eternal love to us do not truly love us, that those who stretched their breasts did not all have intellect and talent, extraordinary talent. And attention, not all talents deserve to be boasted. It is enough to look at the Guinness Book of Records to see that you have absurd talents, so much so that we ask ourselves curious – even casually curious – but what do we need? Let’s cover the distance of 11.80 meters while holding a raised table and carrying his 50-pound wife on his back with the merit of Georges Christen of Luxembourg in 2008. Please don’t confuse this with the 10 meter speed record. The table in the mouth modality that Christen held for 6.57 seconds in 2009. What is talent? It cannot be denied, just as we can say that if there is a man who loves her more than her husband, it is his dentist.

Talents are wasted, broken or useless. How well-pressed are the Parables of Jesus in the Holy Gospels, according to St Matthew, when Christ tells the story of the rich man who entrusted his disciples to look after his three servants in his absence. He gives five talents—or coins equivalent to 6,000 dinars—to one, two to the other, and to the last. To each according to his ability. When he returns, he finds that the first two servants to bargain have doubled their investment; On the other hand, the third, fearing his master’s reaction if he loses, decides to hide his only talent by burying it and returning it intact, inciting the anger of the man who says he can at least entrust it. in the bank and thus collects interest. The first two are rewarded by being invited to attend the Lord’s feast, and the third is banished into darkness. A parable that reads a little more than it was intended: that there is a gift that God gives to each of us according to our abilities, that we receive to invest and multiply, and that those who bury them are lazy or lazy. coward. Now when it comes to pretending to make a transaction at the bank without being directed to the internet, application or ATM; Without being brought back and charged to you before 11am on Wednesday! it’s more than a paradox… it’s a utopia.

Because yes, I’ve known lazy people, but most of them didn’t bury their gifts; buried by those who should have watered them. Out of ignorance or fear or the fact that hard work is paid for with the crumbs of gentlemen who take advantage of your talent. And this is a great sin.

And this ability, like anything intangible, can be hard to describe but heavy. Talent; 6,000 denarii equals 34 kilos of silver. It’s a heavy treasure that requires much more modest abilities to carry it: tenacity, desire, and a passion that Álex, happy in his restaurant, shamelessly admits lacking. Why? Why? Well. I promise to keep asking. A small task for my ability. I won’t complain It seems that there are others who dedicate their lives to stuffing a table with their teeth…
