Don't be you always

One of the most effective means of manipulating, twisting, raping, encouraging, disqualifying and confusing people and people's lives is to manipulate, twist, rape, encourage, degrade and mix words. I'm aware that starting the article with a truth like Pernando's is a little bleak, and I'm aware that the press columnist needs for himself the optimistic concept of originality, but I'm lucky to say and repeat what they're not saying, they'll forgive me for the contradiction.

You will forgive me, or perhaps not better. Because precisely “I have my contradictions” has lately become a delightful whitish of the trachers themselves, of the nightmares, of the slap. The three benign words that initially served to alleviate the burden of hyper-demand on very good or hyper-coherent people have been clearly malignant for any use: an ecologist who once in life feels guilty of not throwing an old plastic into the yellow container, but also who heats the pocket (to put two random examples) causing environmental damage in a way that is modelled under the green energy labelling patch.

"Who begins to preside over a kind of pure "liberate," in this outbreak of personal freedom, in this worm of personal freedom."

The language umbrella of hypertrophic guardasol with acceptable contradictions is now saturated. The incoherent, not only becomes inconsistent, but has the guardasol at its disposal, and the hypocrite, of course, can make a guardasol in every hand, say A and do B, “I have my contradictions.” As in any case, the key is to use
the phrase correctly and moderately. If I do not know exactly what this measure is, I would not even know, I would say, but: there is a half-way between the continuous beating and the cancellation of everything; between the beautiful traps of language and the perishable strains of language.

In fact, among the narcissists of fashion, there's one even more dangerous, the hill bed. “Be yourself.” Also, probably, created with a very good intention, but worn out and rescinded by the traditional profiteering bervocrats: the individualistic justification of the apparent biological ants by birth. Or more simply: self-help to do and say what each one wants, without thinking about the harm of others. The consequences of the Esalditxo viper are obvious, of course, among others, people who, against the political eccentricity, feel like a refrain “I am like that” and do what gets on the tip of the nose at all times, people saliva. Because who is going to start presiding over a pure freedom loudspeaker, in this outbreak of personal freedom, in this worm of personal freedom. (Another full paragraph would be worth releasing the word hanged, shooting, frying, debunking if they are being made to the sick, the precious chandars that we leave…).

“We are what we do to change who we are,” said Eduardo Galeano. At this point, some have already begun to violate this phrase to claim that dignified life is only in your hands, that is, to convince that if you do not have a dignified life it is “a sign that you have not done enough to change what you are.” But if we somehow maintain an original average meaning. Let's be ourselves, but not all the time. Let no one tell us what we have to do, but let us often ask ourselves what we can do. Don't be, don't be you always.

What do the words 'look', 'understand' and 'person' mean?

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]


Newspapers of genocide

They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]

Curiosity

I've been a teacher for 20 years and I've been teaching at all levels of High School, and today is the day I don't know what the teacher's role is.

In the long staircase of regulated education, each level has its own characteristics. In ESO, for example, good work habits and... [+]


The other side of October 12: reflections of resistance

It is no coincidence that Columbus Day, that of the Civil Guard and the Virgen del Pilar coincided on that date. The three represent oppressive structures (statue, army and church). On the other hand, there is indigenous resistance and population that the Spanish State... [+]


When we woke up on February 8, 2024, you were hugging the dinosaur.
There are people who "embrace" capitalism without realizing that the problem is in the same system; in the constant search for growth on a limited planet. All forms of intensive energy production are being swallowed up in the world.

Small peoples with life!

In how many excursions, outings or friendly walks have we heard that all the roads lead to Rome? Many times, and sometimes, I have felt the duty to tell you. The truth is that I think I have always misunderstood this expression. I have always imagined a straight road, in which... [+]

Digitalisation scrap

They once explained to me that the word spam means a very poor quality sausage that was made in the Anglo-Saxon villages of surplus pigs. The word may be known because it has a folder in the email that receives messages you don't want. This term was the first example I met to... [+]

Territory and architecture
Basque Country

Edurne Azkarate said from the micro stage that the Basque film has little Basque in the celebration of the San Sebastian Film Festival. The phrase echoes for its truthfulness. In the architecture scene you can repeat the same motto and I am sure that in so many other cultural... [+]


Hysterical materialism
Gordophobia

Onintza Enbeita denounced gordophobia in her column on October 4 in relation to the experience of a visit to the gynecologist. It can be said that we are all committed to entering the same body, and it is true, we have all heard what it is, but it is also true -- that what is... [+]

Uwa, kamsá, tukuná, uitoto, tikun, embera, nasa/yuwe, nuka, sikuani, siano, macuna, yuruti, kichwa, achagua, bora, truncar. These are some of the languages spoken in Colombia. Unfortunately, when I lived in Colombia, in Cundinamarca, I did not have the opportunity to learn our... [+]


Informative disfocus

Pakito Arriaran and Korta

I don't know if they met in Lapurdi. Enrique Gómez Korta was killed by the Spanish Basque Battalion on on 25 June 1979 in Baiona. Pakistan Arriaran fled to Iparralde in November 1978, where he stayed for a year, until he left to Venezuela to avoid the attacks that ended his... [+]

Aware of the importance of ideology in political behaviour, we Basques must pay particular attention to the issue of our ideology, since within the framework of a concrete ideological location it is always decided what to do, what not to do, how, with whom, against whom, etc... [+]

Monkey, Salva and Invalid

It wasn't a sadness, right next door. And great despair. This year we have given birth to two creations ("Lurez Ezkutua" and "Bidasoa Mintzatu"), we have achieved great success and yet a bitter feeling squeezes my neck.

I have been working in theatre for about 30 years, writing,... [+]
