Прощальное письмо Габриэля. Этот видеоролик - наиболее удачная экранизация текста письма, которую смог найти в интернете. Оригинал видеоролика находится на канале Доброе Дело https://youtu.be/87WYv18qzKU
В оригинальной версии слишком долго и навязчиво предлагается сделать пожертвование в этот фонд, поэтому я удалил всё отвлекающее от того, что мы ищем, хотим впустить в свой мир и передать близким нам людям.

Ещё одно важное примечание по поводу текста данного прощального письма:
На самом деле это не письмо великого колумбийского писателя Габриэля Гарсия Маркеса, а подделка неизвестного автора, распространившаяся в июле 1999 года анонимно в Интернете как "прощальное письмо умирающего от рака гения своим друзьям".
Да, автор поступил не корректно, но тем не менее, суть сказанного не теряет глубины проникновения.

Вот возможная оригинальная версия текста на английском языке: (русскоязычную и иную англоязычную версии опубликую в комментариях).
"If for an instant God were to forget that I am a rag doll and gifted
me with a piece of life, possibly I wouldn't say all that I think,
but rather I would think of all that I say. I would value things, not for
their worth but for what they mean. I would sleep little, dream
more,understanding that for each minute we close our eyes we lose
sixty seconds of light.

"I would walk when others hold back, I would wake when others sleep.

"I would listen when others talk, and how I would enjoy a good
chocolate ice cream! If God were to give me a piece of life, I would
dress simply, throw myself face first into the sun, baring not only
my body but also my soul. My God, if I had a heart, I would write my
hate on ice, and wait for the sun to show.. Over the stars I would paint
with a Van Gogh dream a Benedetti poem, and a Serrat song would be
the serenade I'd offer to the moon. With my tears I would water roses, to
feel the pain of their thorns, and the red kiss of their petals...

"My god, if I had a piece of life... I wouldn't let a single day pass
without telling the people I love that I love them. I would convince
each woman and each man that they are my favorites, and I would live
in love with love. I would show men how very wrong they are to think
that they cease to be in love when they grow old, not knowing that they
grow old when they cease to be in love! To a child I shall give wings, but
I shall let him learn to fly on his own. I would teach the old that
death does not come with old age, but with forgetting. So much have I
learned from you, oh men...

"I have learned that everyone wants to live on the peak of the
mountain, without knowing that real happiness is in how it is scaled.
I have learned that when a newborn child squeezes for the first time
with his tiny fist his father's finger, he has him trapped forever. I
have learned that a man has the right to look down on another only
when he has to help the other get to his feet. From you I have learned
so many things, but in truth they won't be of much use, for when I
keep them within this suitcase, unhappily shall I be dying."
