"Have you ever wondered why children are no longer taught to write in cursive?" And no, it is not by chance that they tend to use it less and less. Writing in cursive means translating thoughts into words; it forces you to not take your hand off the paper. A stimulating effort, which allows you to associate ideas, link them and put them in relation. Not by chance does the word cursive come from the Latin "currere", which runs, which flows, because thought is winged, it runs, it flies. Of course, cursive has no place in today's world, a world that does everything possible to slow down the development of thought, to fill it. I think cursive was born in Italy and then spread throughout the world. Why? Because it was compact, elegant, clear writing. But ours is a society that no longer has time for elegance, for beauty, for complexity; we have synthetics but not clarity, speed but not efficiency, information but not knowledge! In general, we know too much and too little because we are no longer (generally speaking) able to put things into relation. Most people can no longer think. This is why we should go back to writing in cursive, especially at school. Because this is not just about recovering a writing style, but about giving breath to our thoughts again. Everything that makes us live, that feeds the soul, that sustains the spirit, is connected to breathing. Without breath, as the ancient Greeks said, there is no thought. And without thoughts there is no life. Source: Vivian Parra.
