THE NEWS OF RENEWAL IN THE JEAN NOUVEL WAY
I want you to be happy.
On this eve of the national day of glory, when soldiers puff out their chests to march down the Champs-Elysées, I wanted to remind you of the essential fact that vis pacem, para bellum is a load of garbage. Roman certainly, but pesto or not, this adage is just a stupid invention that gives all the credit to profit-driven warmongers. And that's really annoying, because it's these same financiers who run press titles to sell us anguish.
Perpetual anguish and the spectre of war. A European war. A nuclear war. Civil war. Wars everywhere, all the time. Gone are the glorious 30s, the carefree days of the 80s and shoulder pads. Hello, permanent crisis, insecurity, violence, stress.
And yet, in the midst of all this chaos, a brand of shoes populated by creative diehards continues to resist the dreary daily grind that the vast majority of the media want to force upon us. This brand of shoes, created to magnify your existence, is one of the keys to the new doors you're about to open. It's time to change lanes, to get off the express line and onto the stop line, and to look serenely at everything around us. See all that's beautiful and focus on it for the long term.
