“I’m not going to deny you that it gives me a little bit of a shame to have the broken chains, I know it’s vitalistic. I accept sadness with one point, but without major traumas” (Xabier Euzkitze).
Sometimes it happens that you see someone who's going around his head in writing all of a sudden. That same happened to me when I read those words from Xabier Euzkitze. I would literally subscribe to what we have just said. I have been using the same subject for a long time, but I have not had the courage to put those feelings into words until now. Surely in our beloved people we have a lot of shame when it comes to talking about a lot of things. We don't want to show our sad part, we seem to be forced to say we're happy. Like when he meets on the street with a friend he hadn't seen long ago. Always answer “well” to the question in what way, even if from the inside there is a Christ, newly distributed and with serious work accounts (money). But the answer is always “good”, even if it’s a lie. Why don't we dare to tell the truth? Embarrassing, not starting to take off our interiors, perhaps because the other cares a little…
"It's happening to those of us who are older than one, we're running out of the market. This society pays tribute to young people"
It's happening to those of us who are older than one, we're running out of the market. This society pays tribute to young people. In our area there is positive discrimination in favour of young people, women, young women… And I am not against it. But those of us who have spent all their lives in this trade, don't we deserve the end of our working life? In addition, we have the accumulated experience, I would say that today we know the trade better than when I was young. In the young age there is courage but little knowledge. In addition, our generation had to start from scratch, and now, when we enter the final part of our journey, I'm suspecting that we're not approaching zero. And in the meantime, the drawer of the house is still filled with the plans that remain on the way. It's a sign that you've reached an age when the people in that drawer are more than the ones you've done.
I have not opted for retirement, but to realise we are closer to the retirement age threshold, although the desire to continue working has not disappeared. And to this we have to add that, because of the characteristics of our trade, we have not paid much, we have to settle for a blind pension. As Euzkitz says: a point of sadness without trauma.

The other day I went to a place I hadn’t visited in a long time and I liked it so much. While I was there, I felt at ease and thought: this is my favorite place. Amulet, amulet, amulet; the word turns and turns on the way home. Curiosity led me to look for it in Elhuyar and it... [+]
