"As long as I have questions and there is no answer, I will continue to write." (Clarice Lispector)
WHEN DOES THIS END? Nobody knows ... even because we have the distinct feeling that we have not yet reached the bottom. In my view, humans are prepared and equipped to anticipate and survive these threats. That is why, in my understanding, these are times when we all have a duty to bring the whole society together around the same objective, which is to leave this health crisis and the consequent economic recession stronger and capable of building a richer society, fair and supportive. Perhaps, in this sense, the pandemic can be an opportunity to build a better society, if we know how to learn something from it. As then President of the United States John Kenedy said: “When written in Chinese, the word crisis consists of two characters: one represents danger and the other represents opportunity.” For to cooperate is to find a new way to return, but in a new and different register - this is the opportunity.
I understand that it is always the time to remember that, in addition to rights, we all have, with the same intensity, civic duties and, in this case, we have the DUTY, in solidarity, to do everything to fight the pandemic and prevent further deaths of our fellow citizens. . Feeding political facts and sterile discussions at this point is contributing to the spread of the virus with tragic consequences for everyone. We must have lucidity and a lot of realism, because otherwise we will all be shipwrecked in the same sea !!! “People tend to forget their duties but remember their rights. (Indira Gandhi)
As a friend of mine says, “imbecility” is everywhere, and unfortunately they breed like rabbits and their capacities are increasing exponentially, that is, the more imbeciles we have, the more stupid they are born. These people who discover intents and conspiracies behind the mandatory use of masks, masking their imbecility with arguments of bullshit is a real danger to public health. We have a duty and an obligation to dismantle this narrative before it is too late. ” In the presence of imbeciles and madmen, there is only one way to show our intelligence: not talking to them. ”(Arthur Schopenhauer)
These are not the times to turn your back on each other, it is time to hold hands to take the boat forward, trying to survive the storm with competence and common sense, taking advantage of what the voices of experience advise, without fear but with tranquility , having the notion that a constructive intergenerational dialogue with the notion that the demands of the future do not sympathize with sectarianisms and vanities without sense or vain selfishness. We have to learn to walk, with fear, to take care - of ourselves and others - and to fit in with how to live in a different world. In today's times, we are all few and above all we must want to contribute to finding solutions and not to increase problems. "Regulations and laws, it was necessary not to forget them, it is necessary to remember that without regulations and laws there will be no order, it was necessary not to forget and defend them in order to defend myself."
