Decalogue of Bullfighting

I take the leave to translate into the English the following post from the blog De España hasta los cantares, written by a well-known, beloved teacher.

In Seville, October the 24th, 2007, the playwriter Albert Boadella, along with the bullfighter Enrique Ponce, delivered a conference on bullfighting, wherein he defined his Decalogue of Bullfighting.

1. Bullfighting has no creator.
2. Bullfighting is a metaphor for life (all that is alive is present in bullfighting).
3. Bullfighting is not a show, it is a ritual.
4. Bullfighting is poetry (beauty is created by using a bare cloth).
5. Bullfighting is ephemeral (it disappears as soon as it is produced).
6. Bullfighting is not looking for modernity, it is always classic.
7. In bullfighting, merit and effort are rewarded (unlike in the LOGSE).
8. The world of bulls reveres Nature (bull-farming respects the environment).
9. Bullfighting is people's art.
10. Bullfighting has got anti-bullfighting people (every art needs detractors to keep alive; anti-taurinos should be subsidised).
