Dice un refr\u00e1n que \u00abM\u00e1s vale malo conocido que bueno por conocer\u00bb. S\u00ed, toda la raz\u00f3n. M\u00e1s vale un mal amigo que conocer uno de los de verdad. Mucho mejor aguantar el maltrato de tu pareja que elegir una nueva vida. Apetece m\u00e1s\u00a0escuchar por vig\u00e9simo cuarta vez hoy el Despasito que descubrir el Don’t let me be misunderstood de Animals. Mucho m\u00e1s recomendable ese Big Mac con extra de ketchup (\u00bfketchup?\u00bfkatchup? \u00bfketchup?) que esas verduras que jam\u00e1s aceptar\u00e9 probar. Que s\u00ed, que mucho mejor lo malo conocido.<\/p>\n
Una de las experiencias de las que m\u00e1s aprend\u00ed estudiando Bachiller me sorprendi\u00f3 en un recreo cualquiera mientras me preguntaba si odiaba m\u00e1s el chope o la mortadela. Fue una frase que nunca olvidar\u00e9, dicha por un amigo: \u00abSe puede sustituir la parte final de cualquier\u00a0refr\u00e1n por \u00abpatada en los cojones\u00bb sin que este pierda su significado\u00bb. Una afirmaci\u00f3n de tal calibre hab\u00eda que corroborarla y como buenos pseudo intelectuales de 16 a\u00f1os nos pusimos a ello. \u00abCuando el grajo vuela bajo, patada en los cojones\u00bb. \u00abM\u00e1s vale p\u00e1jaro en mano que patada en los cojones\u00bb. \u00abA grandes males, grandes patadas en los cojones\u00bb. \u00abA palabras necias, patada en los cojones\u00bb. Val\u00eda todo. No hab\u00eda uno solo que se quedase ser golpeado en sus partes pudientes. \u00abEn abril, patada en los cojones\u00bb. Suerte que esto lo descubrimos\u00a0en mayo.<\/p>\n
A\u00f1os m\u00e1s tarde, creo haber entendido el significado de aquel experimento. Los refranes pretenden simplificar, de manera similar a lo\u00a0que hacen los prejuicios y estereotipos, conductas humanas con el fin de facilitar nuestra comprensi\u00f3n de hechos cotidianos. Porque \u00abA caballo regalado no le mires el dentado\u00bb no es m\u00e1s que un \u00abhay que ser agradecido\u00bb con un fino toque de ret\u00f3rica. Lo mismo pasa con el \u00abAunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda\u00bb que viene a ser un \u00abLas apariencias no lo son todo\u00bb o aquel \u00abEl que canta sus males espanta\u00bb que es una especie de\u00a0abreviaci\u00f3n muy acertada de \u00abCuando cantamos se activan en el cerebro mecanismos de felicidad similares a practicar deporte o sexo\u00bb. \u00a0El funcionamiento de patada en los cojones no es m\u00e1s que un grito al inconformismo, una caricia a la inteligencia, un soplo de aire fresco a nuestra conciencia.<\/p>\n
S\u00ed, amigos, una patada en los cojones (metaf\u00f3rica) a tiempo puede salvarnos de cometer uno de los m\u00e1s perversos actos que hoy d\u00eda tienen lugar en nuestra sociedad: Prejuzgar. Sin embargo, haciendo uso de una frase hecha, \u00abM\u00e1s vale malo conocido que bueno por conocer\u00bb puede ser la excepci\u00f3n que confirma la regla. \u00bfPeor algo malo a lo que ya est\u00e1s acostumbrado\u00a0o que te sorprendan con una patada en los cojones? Putos refranes, haci\u00e9ndonos no pensar y pensar al mismo tiempo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
