JULIAN MARIAS - Philosopher - Professor - Politico Writer and Journalist
SPANISH
Someone once asked a English philosopher Julián Marías, very knowledgeable of the Argentine people and their customs and with a great love for us to talk about the Argentines, but view from outside the forest and all passion ...
... This was what he said:
"The Argentines are among you, but not like you.
not try to know them, because his soul lives in the impenetrable world of duality.
Argentines drink one cup of joy and bitterness.
make music for his crying "The Tango" and laugh at the music of another, taken seriously the jokes and everything serious joke.
They themselves do not know, believe in the interpretation of dreams, Freud and the Chinese horoscope, visit the doctor and the healer all at the same time.
treat God as 'The Beard' and jeer at religious rites, but presidents do not lose a Te Deum in the Cathedral.
not give up their illusions and learn from their disappointments. Do not contend with them again! The Argentines are born with wisdom!
know and feel about everything! In a coffee table and journalists or political programs arranged everything.
When Argentines travel, all compared to Buenos Aires. Brothers, they are 'The Chosen People' ... themselves. Individually
are characterized by sympathy and intelligence. Group are unbearable for his crying and passion.
Everyone is a genius and geniuses do not get along well with each other, so it is easy to assemble, but unite ... impossible.
An Argentine is able to achieve everything in the world, minus the applause of another Argentine.

contradiction both called 'Barbara' to a beautiful woman, a scholar baptized as 'Beast', a mere footballer 'Genius' and when they express extreme friendship qualify you for 'Boludo'. And if the affection and confidence is much larger, 'You're a bastard. "
When someone asks them a favor not just say 'yes', but 'Like No' .. They are the only people in the world starting their sentences with the word NO. When someone thanks you, say: 'No, nothing' or 'NO'.... with a smile.
Argentines have two problems for each solution. But they sense solutions to every problem. Any Argentine will tell you know how you must pay the debt, right to military counsel the rest of Latin America, reduce hunger in Africa and teach economics in USA.
Argentines are metaphors to describe the ordinary with strange words. For example, a pay raise they call ... 'Rebalancing Income', a tax increase ... 'Changing the Tax Base' as a simple devaluation ... 'A sudden change of exchange rate. A business plan is always ... 'A Set Plan' and a financial transaction call it speculation ... 'Bike'.
live, as Ortega y Gasset, a permanent decoupling of the image they have of themselves and reality. Have a high number of psychologists and psychiatrists and they boast of being always aware of the last therapy. They have a super huge ego, but do not mention it become unstable and fall into crisis.
have a terrible fear of ridicule, but describes himself as liberated.
are biased, but believe they are broad, generous and tolerant.

In short: Argentines are
