Por sol, Barra, Aveiro

For example, we feel a slight disappointment when we hear a close friend, whose spontaneous gestures of warmth we felt were our own preserve, talk intimately with another of his friends (especially one whom we do not know). An explicit statement of this theme is given in a nineteenth-century American guide to manners:
If you have paid a compliment to one man, or have used toward him any expression of particular civility, you should not show the same conduct to any other person in his presence. For example, if a gentleman comes to your house and you tell him with warmth and interest that you “are glad to see him,” he will be pleased with the attention, and will probably thank you; but if he hears you say the same thing to twenty other people, he will not only perceive that your courtesy was worth nothing, but he will feel some resentment at having been imposed on.

Alex Todorov, my colleague at Princeton, has explored the biological roots of the rapid judgments of how safe it is to interact with a stranger. He showed that we are endowed with an ability to evaluate, in a single glance at a stranger’s face, two potentially crucial facts about that person; how dominant (and therefore potentially threatening) he is, and how trust worthy he is,

If a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self—himself—he cannot know it, because he is no longer there to know it. Oliver Sacks

Nas aldeias, onde os cuidados de saúde são precários, muitas crianças morrem cedo, de subnutrição, malária ou diarreia. Situações que se agravam em épocas de fome. Por causa disso, muitos nomes refletem as circunstâncias ou os temores agravados dos pais. É muito triste, mas por todo o Malawi deparamos com nomes como Simkhalitsa (vou subir ao céu), Malazani (Acabem comigo), Maliro (funeral), Manda (pedra tumular) ou Phelantuni (mata me depressa) - todos de pessoas que felizmente desmentiram os seus nomes infelizes
