O mellor é reunirse coa familia

Xa chegaron e comezamos o marcador nada máis ver ao primeiro anunciante de doces datas. Si, todos os anos igual, e todos os anos o mesmo tema desde logo. O caso é que ocorre todos os anos, sen faltar, e cada ano Jesús nace. E o que molesta, ao parecer, é que por unha vez haxa que facer agasallos, ou pór luces na rúa, que os nenos se vistan de baserritarras. Pero a min moléstame moito máis “o mellor destas festas é reunirme coa familia” todos os católicos. A min iso paréceme o peor destas festas. Empeza o xogo de cadeiras, todos queren unha, aliméntanse relacións moi marcianas a cambio da garantía de ser unha para sempre. Número de compases nalgunhas aprobacións. Cantos roubos nalgúns silencios. E quen teña familia enfádase nalgún momento da noite, “de momento non estou…”. Son festas pechas, datas nas que cada un mostra a súa felicidade íntima (non)para que non llo necesite nin na rúa, nin na cabalgata, nin na rúa. Si tes familia.

E algúns estaredes incomprendidos. Que rabieta é iso. Si estás só, é posible que che preocupes. É dicir, si non es feliz, quizais é a túa responsabilidade. No meu caso seguro. Pero aquí abaixo hai un mundo que os felices non entenden. Moitos dos que non foron convidados ás merendolas (e non pola súa culpa, ás veces só ten razón esa única, non todos), que non poden ir, que non poden facer… Pois todas as merendolas convéñense á vez. Non só ves a merendola que che correspondía, senón que tes que ver todas as demais. Exhibicións é un pouco obsceno. E a pregunta non é si gústanche as merendolas. Algúns non gustos parecen ademais campañas preventivas. A cuestión é que cada ano tes que preguntarche si ese ano, aínda, nalgunha ocasión gardaríanche a cadeira. Que vostede non estea a facer a merendola de alguén máis triste que calquera non merendola. Non sei, algún ano podemos ir ao revés: que se oculten os que pasarán as ceas/comidas na compañía, que organicen un escándalo en segredo (seguro que moitos gozarían máis, algúns mesmo si escóndense merendoles…). Imaxinemos que neses días estamos todos sós. Só nesas datas.

Pero aos que, de momento, polo menos, estaremos sós, rodeados de xente, ou sen ninguén ao seu lado (pero, con todo, eu, polo momento, polo menos, non estou…).

More human rights and less extreme right

In this frenetic and vertiginous world in which we live, the social changes that take place little by little seem to us to be sometimes imperceptible, irrelevant or insignificant. That is not the case, however, and we have to be aware of it in order to act wisely. An example of... [+]


Popuerza

On Sunday of September it is customary to climb to Ernio, dance in Zelatun and eat brown chorizo, or something. The worst time you don't need people. This year, when my friends were leaving earlier and I was delaying, I would go up alone, finding the crews coming down. Most young... [+]

Full round

In the border book of The House on Mango Street, written by Sandra Cisneros, a character's dog has two names: one in Spanish and one in English. It may be odd at first sight, even for a book, but if you think more calmly, you realize that the world is full of double names. And I... [+]

On Angel!

It was impossible to guess who was or who was the motto I read, but who was!

Ángel González Olvera was known in Mexico 11 years ago when the bertsolaris invited us to a few days with their improvisers. He lived on a high hill, feeding on birds, pigeons, pigeons, hedgehogs,... [+]

The myth of the free market

As in the Middle Ages God dominated, in modern times we live under the market and its rigid laws. The high level wages are determined by the market, as the prizes of the CEOs of Iberdrola or BBVA mark the markets of their sector, although they take 300 times more to the bag than... [+]

Hysterical materialism
Catch

“I have withdrawn the rape complaint”

That was said to me by the former student, who took a long time to file a complaint that was in court months and who, on the recommendation of the psychologist, had withdrawn the complaint of rape. And I kept quiet, unable to guess what to tell the young man that he still had... [+]


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... [+]
