Prisoner


09 November 2020 - 13:54

Gloomy days return. We were waiting for more stringent measures, but that will not ease the blow. The truth is that I do not know how long I have asked myself the same question: when will this unpleasant situation end.

It will be the most complex (and for many the worst) year of our lives and, at that time, the pandemic does not end. The restrictions are back together with the ghost of a second lockdown.

"They'll dictate what's OK and what's OK. And we are so calm, unquestioned, unraveling our everyday problems."

Like many others, I have often not done well. It can be said that the virus has not been taken seriously and, undoubtedly, if we had any serious or fatal cases in our environment it would be very different; ask them. Here's our hypocrisy.

Difficult weeks lived in March-April. Far from friends, without going out on the street and working in more difficult conditions than ever. We have spent many days waiting for a better future. However, the responses, one after the other, have been similar: “will evolve”, “other opportunities will come” and a series of positivist phrases in the same way.

Meanwhile, the authorities feel comfortable in their circus, deciding in a paraphernal impregnated with insults the measures that will affect the life of the population. Later, you may be picked up in the cafe and take a drink together. The virus can hurt them, yes, but they know full well that their future doesn't wobble. Unfortunately, they will dictate what is right and what is not. And we are so calm, unquestioned, unraveling our everyday problems.

The hope remains that these times will pass quickly, so that the phobias and torments of half a year ago cannot appear. However, no one will assure us that we will not have to stay home again. Recently, I asked a former convict about my spare time in jail. He told me that you had to take advantage of the times for yourself. To nuance nuances, to do something similar to the ones we spent a lot of time alone. We are therefore here, ready to take a blow.

Let it last as little as possible. For the umpteenth time, because we are prisoners of tribulation.

Reflecting on the present of yesterday’s philosophers

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]


Institutional responsibility for the protection of children

We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]

Deprotection of overprotection

We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]

The silogism of the carpentry

The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

The legacy of the depressed Despremu

I have recently worked in class on Etxahun Barkox’s beautiful and touching cobla. The bad guy! The afflictions of the house began because of the creation of the “praube with beauty”, but in seventeen years she had entered the sea of misfortune, having to abandon the girl... [+]

Azken egunak garrantzi handikoak izan dira Bartzelonan, etxebizitzaren aldeko mugimenduarentzat eta espekulatzaileen aurkako borrokarentzat. Urtarrilaren 28an, polizia-armada batek Raval auzoko Massana Zaharrari [zentro sozial okupatua] eraso egin zion goizaldean, aurrez abisatu... [+]

From the Caldereros: A blackface in San Sebastian?

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]

Long way in small steps!

The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]


Gutxiengoa

Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]


They don’t know why

The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]
