The meaning of sepulchral symbolism
Cuban chronicles with philosophy
The immortality of the soul is one of the issues that most disturbs the human spirit and thought, since only man is that being who in his essence wants to transcend beyond his horizon. In this desire for transcendence, man becomes superbly sublime and interprets history and seeks a purely teleological scope for it.
“What is the meaning of aligning holy sepulchres?” an agnostic would ask. But, when the tombs carry in themselves the condemnation of the imperious history and wrap the ideals of an era in a triangular meaning and try to contextualize them with the current currents of thought, without a doubt, it is an effective model for perpetuating monarchs.
However, when this attempt to transcend history touches the hearts of diverse ideals found by the same national event of the past, it becomes completely unsuccessful. Let us remember that history changes, powers do not overcome the fatality of time and man is never the same, even if we try to turn him into a new machinery. This disastrous change in history leads to memory reverting to voracious and fierce hatred, since only the soul that suffers and does not seek reconciliation feeds on hatred.
“What is the point of aligning tombs?”, It is no longer asked by an agnostic, but by a discouraged being in these postmodern times. The symbolism that permeates this fact those who carry the force of power is transformed into pride. Not only tombs are lined up, but it is transformed into a triangular dimension that hides the true intention of immortalizing the soul of the proud. But a theological sense of transcendence contradicts a thought that once tried to bury faith. The sad thing is that time devours and does so by searching for the most extreme and mismatched positions that have accumulated that thirsty hatred of disastrous thirst for love. It is those unfounded ones who, seeking the unreconciled reconciliation of their revenge, destroy all traces of the past, even that past that involves us all equally.
The Old Testament Book Ezkiel says: “I will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their sanctuaries will be profaned” (Ez 7:24). Well, that’s the way those peoples act to whom arrogance perpetrates to the soul of the people. Therefore, we must avoid those acts that man performs to try to perpetuate his name and let it be history and the truth that is hidden within it, the one in charge of transcending and giving it the symbolism that each grave deserves.
