Why It's Okay to Mourn Robin Williams

Robin Williams is to be celebrated, as his wife has asked, as his talents demand.
        
Robin Williams made art that changed my generation. His humor, his storytelling, and his thousand and one different impressions is what I watched growing up.
       
He was no celebrity. He was an artist.
       
The man taught the world lessons.
       
In Aladdin, we learned to believe in things that seem impossible. In Jumanji, we learned to finish what we started with dignity, even when it sucks, even if we get dirty, even if it’s been haunting us since childhood. In Mrs. Doubtfire, we learned that a father’s love is fierce, and humility is of the essence when trying to keep a family together.
       
The list goes on with Hook, and Patch Adams, and The Birdcage - all movies where we learn that humor heals. All proof that laughter really is the best medicine.
        
See, Robin Williams was not just a “celebrity”. He was a representation of dozens of different characters in humanity, and more. Besides being a creepy photo developer, and a doctor, and the bicentennial man, he was there to be the lost boy, and the genie, and the scientist that made green Flubber.

FLUBBER, YOU GUYS. DID YOU FORGET ABOUT FLUBBER TIL I JUST SAID IT?
        
See, exactly. Childhood memories, eh? A little chuckle over the flubbski? I bet.
        
Not just any celebrity can bring about epic feelings of childhood. Robin Williams is one of the few artists in our time that has that gift.
        
Robin Williams is to be celebrated, as his wife has asked, as his talents demand.

But it’s also okay to mourn our loss.
        
We, as a people, have lost something really huge. We lost the man who wasn’t afraid of letting us in. We lost the man who brought us along on his journey even though we couldn’t possibly believe someone would be crazy enough to take it in the first place.
        
And most devastating, we lost another battle with depression.
        
Robin Williams signifies the real struggles that are taking our friends, our family, our artists away from us. We can no longer ignore the mental health issues that torture even the happiest “seeming” of souls.
         
So this loss is a wakeup call and perhaps, one final lesson that we can take away from Robin Williams’ brilliant and colorful life.
        
No matter how inspired or creative one may be, we never know the dark forces that haunt an individual behind closed doors. And it’s not for us to judge - or detect - or prescribe.
       
There’s only one thing we can learn from this.

Compassion is key. Art is essential. Laughter is medicine.
        
That’s what I learned in my 27 years on this planet with Robin Williams’ movies. As an actress, I admire his ability to think on his feet, and to step into any character, and to blow my mind with creativity. But as a human - from age five and up - he taught me that compassion is key. Art is essential. And laughter is medicine.
        
Robin Williams made me laugh so hard that I know he was put on this planet for a reason. He entertained us and moved us and made us feel things we needed to feel. He inspired me, and I’m sure countless others, to want to perform and share myself with the world as he did - authentically and unapologetically.
        
And so it’s okay to mourn someone who could do all of those things. It’s okay - necessary even - to grieve for the loss of a talented artist who represented so many things you and I might never get to experience. It’s okay. It’s okay to be sad.
        
And then, as hard as we grieve, we must equally celebrate what Mr. Williams did leave behind. Start the films rolling. Celebrate what we do have on film - those thousand and one impressions he did so fearlessly and consistently.
        
After all, we can never take films for granted. There is always something new to see. I’m sure we have plenty of new lessons to learn that we’ve forgotten about since Aladdin first graced our living rooms as kids. I think Robin Williams had a lot to say, and I’m willing to bet, that we can spend the rest of our lives trying to figure out all the things he had to share and still not discover everything he had to offer.
        
And I don’t even know if that’s what he would have wanted, but I do know that artists take great pleasure in having their art outlive them. To have their art influence future generations. To make this world a more beautiful, more compassionate, more alive place. That’s why most of us get caught up in the arts to begin with - because we’ve seen it outlast centuries and we know that it’s timeless.
        
And you and I both know, that Robin Williams’ art is more than timeless - it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
        
So I loudly declare, that there’s no need to feel guilty for realizing and mourning our loss.
       
Because as Mr. Williams said in his unforgettable portrayal of Hunter “Patch” Adams:
        
“You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you’ll win, no matter what the outcome.”
       
I think that Mr. Williams treated us - as a whole, as a people - and we are all better off because of it.

❑ TEXTO 2: The following text refers to questions 15 to 17.

Whale Watching Season Starts Off Brazil’s North-East Coast

Folha went to the southern coast off the state of Bahia to take part in a whale watching tour GUSTAVO SIMON 

SPECIAL ENVOY TO CARAVELAS (STATE OF BAHIA)

With cameras in their hands and their sights set on the sea, 14 tourists crowd the stern of a catamaran, anxiously looking for a dark spot in the seawater.

The sound similar to a bored sigh is enough to change the mood aboard: cameras start snapping, eyes scan the horizon, bodies move around, shouts of “How beautiful!” and “Over there!” can be heard - even from the tour guides.

The “sigh” that can be heard is actually a water spray that is expelled by humpback whales as they reach the surface to breathe.

Humpback whales can be spotted off the Brazilian coast - especially off Bahia state - between July and November every year, when they reproduce.

At this time tourists will almost definitely spot humpback whales during tours. Conservation programs and a hunting ban have had such an impact on the growth in the humpback population that, last May, this species was taken off the endangered species list in Brazil.

The month of August marks the beginning of the high season for whale watching off Bahia coast, which lasts until September.

ABROLHOS

In addition to whale watching, tourists can visit Abrolhos, a cluster of islands 70km from the mainland. It is one of the highlights among the tours that leave from Caravelas, around 880km from Salvador, the capital of the state of Bahia.

The five islands are home to every single species of corals that exist in Brazil, and they also are at the heart of the first national marine park, created in 1983, the only one of its kind in Brazil - and one that stretches out to Timbebas coral reef off Alcobaça.

To reach the park tourists must pay a fee of US$ 15 in addition to the boat trip there. Once they reach the cluster of islands, the clear waters soon reveal the local biodiversity, considered one of the richest in the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean.

From the boat it is possible to spot fish, sea-turtles, jelly fish, starfish and countless birds.

They dominate each part of the cluster of islands: Sueste is where brown boobies can be spotted; yellowed-browed woodpeckers crowd around Guarita; frigatebirds stay at Redonda; Siriba, the only place where tourists can disembark, is home to masked boobies.

Birds are less common at Santa Bárbara, where there is a lighthouse and marine life centers as well as the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICM Bio in the Portuguese acronym).

On the tracks, at Siriba and Santa Bárbara - a special authorization concedes powers to visit the latter - it is important to protect oneself from the sun: there are very few trees.

Closer to the islands diving (with an oxygen tank or snorkel) is another sought after activity. This is another way of witnessing the local biodiversity from a new perspective.

If you have the time, an overnight tour on the waters of Abrolhos can be booked. Instead of returning to the continent, the tour allows more time for diving (which includes a nighttime dive) and a visit to Santa Bárbara.
