Resolution
Despite mortgages, trade unions have raped two teenagers, fourteen drowned migrants, two Palestinian gunshots killed in the West Bank, the dramatic situation in Ethiopia… and, among other things, the impending war they have organised in Ukraine. This week has also been hard on the news.
Saturday afternoon is the time to put yourself on the couch and be unthinking. I don't know for sure what ataraxi is, but it needs something like this.
In what is running out of my time to wake up with the alarm clock, that is what I want to claim: to live without thinking at least a few hours a week. Breathing is a right.
And precisely in the incommunicado window created to think for ourselves, Sydney Pollack in 2005 led The Interpreter, at par.
There, detective Silvia Broome (Nicole Kidman) and detective Tobin Keller (Sean Penn), who works as a translator in the United Nations, face a number of issues.
Is it not worth strangling into the river of justice the war that it itself has created that boycotts any possible peace agreement?
One day the translator sends something like this to the detective who closely observes him: “In Africa, there is a tribe in which justice is applied quite specifically. If someone kills and in popular judgment blame the alleged murderer, the relatives of the deceased can decide on the life of the murderer.
Then, the citizens throw the culprit into the river with their hands and their legs tied and the relatives of the deceased have the right to decide whether to survive the water or to let it sink into it. And you know? In this tribe they believe that those who decide to save the killer from water will henceforth have a happier life because what he hated has calmed down and peace has come back to the souls of family members.”
Goodbye to my Saturday afternoon without thinking! Back the questions in a button, attacking. When it comes to deciding to keep it alive or to let it go, should it be put at the same level, for example, the one who triggers in the heat of war, for maintaining life, and the one who designed that war in order to carry out his economic, geostrategic or any other interests?
When a batter shoots, he doesn't have time to reflect. On the contrary, whoever has decided when and where the war will be has had a long time to decide who the dead will be.
And is it not worth strangling in the river of justice into the war that she herself has created and that she is engaged in boycotting any possible peace agreement?
I suppose that, for ethical, moral and other reasons, I would have to rush to get out of the water what started to drown, but today I decided not to think.

The Israeli imperialist offensive has entered a new phase: bombings in Yemen, Lebanon and Syria; attacks on Iran; attempted invasion of Lebanon… The Zionists have achieved an old goal: Go beyond Palestine and turn the attack into a regional war.

When we were young, we had a thousand games to play on a day-to-day basis. Some of us played running, some of us played with the ball, the dolls, the rubber or the words. There's a game where we played with words, I've realized it's going to be for life. We don't realize that we're... [+]

The BRICS+ group involves emerging productive economies or raw material suppliers. They want to build a fairer global governance, and that clashes with a West that wants to continue to govern and regulate international economic flows.

I'm sick, able to stay away from home, with the doctor's leave, with the approval of those around me. I'm sick. I mean, my energy is the one I usually have when I come home at night, but all day long. And the body is a trap, once again, and I'm cage with hateful pride in a... [+]

Through the Wallapop app, I sold some mediocre loudspeakers before the summer. Maybe the product description was a little swollen, it's true. The shopper put me three out of five stars. It was clearly not worth it.

I was once in the burial of a friend's father. Our friend asked us to take a flower from the bouquets, if they wanted to. I can't say no to flowers, let alone roses, especially red flowers. So I took a beautiful red rose.
With the rose in my hand, I greeted the acquaintances of... [+]
