Hotel de los corazones rotos–The hotel of broken hearts
Hello, my precious Readers. Happy March–Spring–Yay!
Another honor to have my poem nesting in this lovely literary magazine.
I’m grateful to Editor: Michelle Ayon Navajas at The Hotel of Broken Hearts,
for publishing my work. This time, again, an essay.
“No one who achieves success does so without
the help of others. The wise and confident
acknowledge this help with gratitude.”
~ Alfred North Whitehead.
“A trial on Vampirey!” Now you’ve heard it all!
I know, right? But isn’t that the way temptation begins? We, the adults among us, know
this is nothing but buffoonery–I believe it’s safe to assume that–but the young ones
who cannot wait to grow up sometimes cannot tell the difference. It is with them in
mind that I post this today.
Firstly, let me turn your attention to the words of a noteworthy philosopher:
“If you were offered the chance to become a vampire — painlessly
and without inflicting pain on others, gaining incredible superpowers
in exchange for relinquishing your human existence, with all your friends
having made the leap and loving it — would you do it?”
~ L.A. Paul, Philosopher
A big question, my friends.
The decision to become a vampire, or not, has to be one of the most epistemic
situations to find yourself in. For starters, you know very little about your possible
future as a vampire. Running parallel to that, you are limited when you face a possible
future as a vampire. If you want to decide by thinking about what your lived experience
would be like if you decided to undergo the experience, then my friend — you have a
problem…
Friends, may I entice you to continue reading this short essay at the Hotel of Broken

Note: This piece was inspired by an article in the old Brain Pickings;
now The Marginalian by Maria Popova.
