This is a Portuguese poem by David Mour?o-Ferreira

We have five Senses
That's two pairs and a half of Wings

How do you want balance?



Basicly, I believe the man's saying that we are unbalanced and nothing we can do can make us balanced. It's a very negativistic opinion. I put some tought in it and my interpretation is the following:

We can't live our lives basing our knowledge and morals only on the 5 senses. Basic empirism. Just like an atom, we need to grab another sense to make us balanced again. To many, the 6th sense is God, to others is Nature, to others is Love, and to me is other people that make me balanced.

Based on that, the first part of the video gives you the view of the ideal world. Hapiness. What we would like to achieve. But because we're flawed and unbalanced, we can't reach it, hence the 2nd part, wich portrays the bad side of people.

But even with all the flaws of mankind, we all can still reach balance. We all can reach hapiness. And the answer, the 6th sense, lays simply on the smile of a young girl.

Comment here and there please...:)
