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.

In recent times we have had the opportunity to analyse politicisation and depoliticisation, focusing attention on young people. However, most of the conclusions of sociological studies dealing with young people are also applicable to other age groups, although of varying... [+]
Human beings are in contact with us and with the environment in which we live, everything we do influences both good and evil. Personal values, culture, relationships and material possibilities are decisive to reduce the negative impact that we can generate.

Train stations in many cities show the highest beauty of the 19th century iron structure, along with the rise of arrival at the epicenter of the city. It's like entering the city through the front door, a pearl of architecture and place. However, in many cities, in the phenomena... [+]
Why not leave it. He who writes the columns always follows the apologies of withdrawal in time. Before stocks are exhausted. The issues, to me, I have not been able to exhaust them, because I am not an expert in anything, and I have never had messages to convey to Euskal Herria... [+]
Start of the summer. EHZ festival hangover (atx, headache). You want to breathe after a charged course. Flush the head. Reconnect key elements. Take some time with family, see old friends again and rest (a little) in the daily struggle. Really? !...

There are words, forms, gestures and attitudes that cannot enter and leave the body. Those that get into the body and rot into it. They pierce the body. They break down the body. They eliminate the body. And it's over. You can't go back to a state before a body that's broken down... [+]

We all know that freedom is a difficult, multi-margin concept, difficult to define in words. We often define it immensely, with being able to decide without constraints, without consequences or without taking responsibility for the actions. But since there is nothing without... [+]
Ms. Judge of the Bayona Court of Justice dismisses:
In March, I was judged by some Euskaltzales in Baiona for taking part in some of the actions we have taken to denounce the unfair treatment suffered by the Basque authorities in the French state. At the beginning of the trial,... [+]
It is not easy to understand what is happening in Catalonia. Certainly. We can end the 2017 process, but it remains to be seen whether independence will be able to start a new process of liberation.
If independence had been maintained in most elections, there would be another... [+]
We have been with the "summer snake" over the TAV for a few weeks and with the possibility of linking the "Basque Y" from Pamplona, from Ezkio or Vitoria.
