Transformation

Transformation is a word that has never been tamed. It does not allow itself to be forced into the precincts of some vision of the world, it escapes, it overflows. An interesting point of view is the world of storytelling, fiction, the cartoons themselves. It can be noted then that sometimes the transformation simply takes place, without the need for explanations; and the narration continues. In other contexts, on the contrary, the detailed and detailed reconstruction of how that transformation can take place is of great importance. It is the case of many fantasy settings, we seek and appreciate the detailed reconstruction of a parallel world with its own rules. Between these two extremes there are many other fictions, within which we become aware of the elements that allow, produce or prevent the transformation. What about transformation in people's lives? Are the rules always the same? Are they valid forever and everywhere? I leave the answers open. I think there is a constant, but given the premises, I invite everyone to check it: when a transformation takes place, there is a passion.
