Pitufo Filólosofo / Brainy Smurf

Resulta obvio, por los avatares de la vida, que el pitufo que peor me caía -pitufo filosofo- fuese al que más me terminaría pareciendo. Obvio, porque uno siempre tiende a detestar lo auténticamente propio (que no debe ser confundido con lo que uno cree como propio). Puesto a elegir, hubiese pedido ser pitufo bromista, pues realmente sentía que congeniaba con su forma de ser (eso pensaba yo, engañandome).

Esta figurita (no mide más de 3 cm.) me la trajo Magdalena directamente desde Amsterdam, que como todo el mundo sabe, NO es la tierra de los pitufos, sino de la marihuana legal, lo cual explica ciertas asociaciones libres que se puedan dar allá. La cosa es que Magdalena consideró que pitufo filosofo era mi “doble” pitufo y me lo trajo. Agradezco que no pensara en traerme a pitufo vanidoso.

It is obvious, by the avatars of life, that the smurf I disliked the most-brainy smurf- was the one I would end up looking like. It’s obvious, because you always tend to hate what is authentically yours (not to be confused with what you believe as your own). Given a choice, I would have asked to be Jokey smurf , as I really felt congenial to his nature (so I thought, deceiving myself).

This figurine (a little larger larger than 1 inch) was brought to me by Magdalena straight from Amsterdam, which as everyone knows, is NOT the land of the Smurfs, but legal marijuana, which explains some free associations that can explain the gift However, the thing is that Magdalena considered Brainy Smurf  to be a kind of “double” and bought it for me. I’m grateful she didn’t think in bringing me Vanity Smurf.
