And the “welfare society” looking the other way

The human’s lack of solidarity always takes its toll on: moral, political, economic...

The hands of the States and the wealthiest "are closed opaque," in the words of Jose Angel Valente, when he wrote "from a shipwreck, about this time, about the slowness of pain, what we have destroyed, above all in us".

Let’s read Valente and be courageous raising a popular outcry before blushing with “shame".

It is a very serious error: to authorize fascist and xenophobic public protests

Any association of this kind should be forbidden. Promoters should know that if there is something essentially incompatible with democracy, human rights and equal dignity are nazism, fascism, racism and fanaticism, because they defend the prevalence of each other.

The cornerstone of coexistence is the equal dignity of all human beings, whatever their gender, age, ethnicity, ideology, belief ... those who do not accept this conceptual basis should be immediately outside the law. Zero tolerance with the intolerant.

The violence is rooted in hatred, animosity, thoughtlessness. Those who believe they are superior are not to be granted any space in a State of Justice. Remember what happened in Spain in the years 35 and 36 and in Europe in the years 38 and 39.

Only stubborn and fanatics are now a risk that we must all reject. To accept the unacceptable has caused too many victims so that now we remain indulgent with those who are not.

It is a very serious error. Another error. And another ... And silence. And people being impassive spectator. A crime of silence.

NUCLEAR THREAT

From every point of view, it is unacceptable that all humanity should live permanently with the great sword of Damocles that thousands of nuclear devices represent and that could by cataclysms, accidentally or voluntarily, be activated and destroy at once the mystery of life and all human beings. It is irresponsible that to guarantee the hegemony of a few, the fate of many -of all! - is jeopardized.

In 1987, Gabriel García Márquez wrote: “...the growing suspicion that it is the only place in the solar system where there has been prodigious adventure of life, we drags mercilessly us to a disheartening conclusion: the arms race runs counter intelligence. And not only of human intelligence, but of the intelligence of nature, as well, whose purpose escapes including of the clairvoyance of poetry. Since the appearance of visible life on Earth must have passed 380 million years for a butterfly learn to fly,  180 million years to make a rose with no other commitment than being beautiful, and four geological eras for beings who unlike human Pithecanthropus grandfather, were able to sing better than the birds and die of love. It is not honorable for human talent, in the golden age of science, to have conceived the way by which a multi-millennial colossal and wasteful process could return to nothingness by simply pressing a button".

We must react. Let’s stop being passive spectators. Raise our voice. Million voices –now that we can express ourselves freely- so that at once we free ourselves from this colossal threat.
