Obvious

"They told me in New York, in the canton of Broadway and 26 streets…"

As I used to go overnight on the old GAC bike, I have a lot of trouble seeing it away. It seems that the force surrounding the imagination gives the dynamo is not enough. You can't see it far and you can't notice the closest one.

Australian intellectual Roman Krznaric in his book The good ancestor says that consumerism and social media force us to see only today.

Consequently, he proposes to work on the "cathedral mentality": as in a hundred years the world will change radically, lengthen our view of today at a distance, because the decisions taken by society in our time will draw the reality of the generations that follow.

“…that every night a man in the middle of winter asks people to take refuge in the wolf for the naked…”

Now they talk about political proposals derived from the analysis of the context in which some young people live: structural unemployment, impoverishment of the life model, inability to emancipate, cultural intervention, hypersexuality, authoritarianism, cracks of the educational system… In short, to leave the capitalist model and create a new model that meets the needs of the workers.

And I've wondered if you're thinking about the problems of today's workers or the future.

“The world does not change this way, people’s relationships do not improve, the stowage does not shorten this way, but…”

The following day, the Elkar group, a simple and animated group of people, made us known at the open assembly of the year the work done in recent months. It is a working group created to help those fleeing poverty and often death from outside. They have a second-hand product store in which the newcomer can find everything necessary to maintain dignity almost musutruk: company, clothing, information, hugs… and, as far as possible, work.

“…but there are people who have a bed night, who have no cold wind in the shelter and that the snow that went to the street…”

Krznaric states that we cannot look with glasses close to the climate crisis and all economic, social, ethical and other crises. The young people in the town say that we have to look at what we have close to looking at remotely, the Elkar people want to know how they are going to fix if it snows tonight.

Now I have a better bike than at that time, but the problem hasn't changed: if I look far, I don't see the holes in my way at the end. And if I look around, I can't see what's a little further away.

I will ask Bertolt Brecht.

The need to end the fraternity of men
