Pablo Mera a.k.a Pablo EMG , Uruguayan-born writer and longtime resident of Paraguay whose life has moved through sport, business, reinvention, family devotion, setbacks, observation, and persistent hope. he writes with unusual candor about dignity, masculinity, suffering, resilience, love, and the architecture of a meaningful future.

«Si miro al futuro, me salta el miedo, pero, ¿por qué adentrarse en el futuro? Sólo aprecio la hora presente, porque el futuro quizá no habitará en mi alma. El tiempo pasado no está en mi poder para cambiar, corregir o añadir algo. Ni los sabios ni los profetas han podido hacer esto. Por tanto, confiemos a Dios lo que pertenece al pasado» Faustina Kowalska 1905~1938
"Los momentos de la vida en los que he crecido tienen que ver con mis fracasos;los momentos de la vida en los que he empeorado, tienen que ver con mis éxitos.El éxito es deformante, relaja,engaña nos vuelve peores,nos ayuda a enamorarnos excesivamente de nosotros mismos;el fracaso es todo lo contrario, es formativo,nos vuelve sólidos,nos acerca a las convicciones,nos vuelve coherentes" Marcelo Alberto Bielsa 1955
More tears began to flow
"Normally, I’d lie and connive and do whatever necessary to make you take me into the south.”
“But …”
More tears began to flow. “But that thing …”
“Thing? What thing?”
“That thing … in one’s head … that tells you when something would be wrong to do. It won’t let me do it.”
Feeling a sudden high level of annoyance, Gwenvael carefully asked, “Do you mean your … conscience?”
Her tears turned into hysterical sobs, and she went down on her side, her head dropping into his lap.
“Dagmar! Everyone has a conscience.”
“I don’t!”
“Of course you do.”
“I’m a politician, Gwenvael! Of course, I don’t have a conscience. At least I didn’t. Now I’m cursed with one. And it’s your fault!”
Somehow he knew that last bit would happen."
