Históricamente, sociedades orientales como Corea o Japón tienen un nivel de exigencia constante por la belleza y la perfección, no ser socialmente aceptado o considerado bonito, inteligente y honorable, es sinónimo de tener que segregarte en tu propia sociedad y ha ocasionado que estos dos países tengan la tasa de suicidios Per cápita más alta, la presión social a muchas personas les puede demasiado.
Wabi-Sabi es el término japonés con el que se hace referencia a «el arte de la imperfección», una tendencia que logró penetrar más en occidente que en su propio país y región, que habla de amar la belleza natural y encontrarle gracia a lo imperfecto; Como siempre se fue tergiversando y quiero aclarar que el Wabi-Sabi no tiene nada que ver con dejarse crecer el vello púbico, o con tener sobrepeso y usar prendas de vestir que te hagan lucirlo, ni con usar ropa rota para parecer desgastada. El Wabi-Sabi consiste en olvidar la simetría, la perfección y encontrarle una función a eso que parece que no puede aportar nada.
Wabi-Sabi era el término en principio usado para referirse a la celebración austera, el conformismo de quien se sabe menos; En la actualidad el término engloba una aceptación de lo transitorio, lo natural, imperfecto e incompleto, lo fugaz y de esta forma incluso melancólico que es nuestro entorno, estar vivos sabiendo que no es eterno, disfrutar un postre sabiendo que termina, admirar un avión marcharse minutos después de una despedida, y es que el Wabi-Sabi consiste en comprender tres cosas, entender la fuerza de la naturaleza y el tiempo siguiendo su curso, percibir como se involucra lo natural en nuestras decisiones y lo que creamos a diarios, y romper por completo esa tendencia absurda de creer que estamos separados de nuestro entorno, y que podemos luchar en contra de lo natural.
Hoy en día intento aplicar Wabi-Sabi al mirar mis manos y entiendo que son heridas de batallas personales, de esfuerzos que no me creí capaz de hacer y parte de un cuerpo con el que sigo avanzando; Veo a mi padre y comprendo que no es estar viejo su dolor de rodillas, es el tiempo pasando factura por aquellas veces que me hizo reír mientras me cargaba en sus hombros, es comprender con tristeza que ya no podrá cargarme más e incluso viejo y adolorido sigue siendo la persona que más admiro, debo aceptar que un día no estará él, no estaré yo y que incluso la tristeza que esto pueda ocasionar es parte de la belleza de lo natural, el paso del tiempo y la vida en constante movimiento.

Historically, Eastern societies such as Korea or Japan have a constant level of demand for beauty and perfection, not being socially accepted or considered beautiful, intelligent and honorable, is synonymous with having to segregate yourself in your own society and has caused these two countries to have the highest suicide rate per capita, the social pressure to many people can be too much.
Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese term that refers to “the art of imperfection”, a trend that managed to penetrate more in the West than in their own country and region, which speaks of loving natural beauty and finding grace in the imperfect; As always it was misrepresented and I want to clarify that Wabi-Sabi has nothing to do with growing pubic hair, or being overweight and wearing clothes that make you show it off, or wearing torn clothes to look worn out. Wabi-Sabi is about forgetting symmetry, perfection and finding a function to that which seems to contribute nothing.
Wabi-Sabi was the term originally used to refer to the austere celebration, the conformism of those who know less; Today the term encompasses an acceptance of the transitory, the natural, imperfect and incomplete, the fleeting and thus even melancholic that is our environment, being alive knowing that it is not eternal, enjoying a dessert knowing that it ends, admiring an airplane leaving minutes after a farewell, Wabi-Sabi consists of understanding three things, understanding the force of nature and time following its course, perceiving how the natural is involved in our decisions and what we create every day, and completely breaking that absurd tendency to believe that we are separated from our environment, and that we can fight against the natural.
Today I try to apply Wabi-Sabi when I look at my hands and understand that they are wounds from personal battles, from efforts I did not believe I was capable of and part of a body with which I continue to move forward; I see my father and I understand that it is not being old his pain in his knees, it is time taking its toll for those times he made me laugh while he carried me on his shoulders, it is understanding with sadness that he will not be able to carry me anymore and even old and in pain he is still the person I admire the most, I must accept that one day he will not be there, I will not be there and that even the sadness that this may cause is part of the beauty of nature, the passage of time and life in constant movement.
