We can sell our time, but we cannot buy it back. ”(FERNANDO PESSOA)

We can sell our time, but we cannot buy it back. ”(FERNANDO PESSOA) We can sell our time, but we cannot buy it back. ”(FERNANDO PESSOA) What we see in these times that are not ours is a society where there is no future everyone scolds about the past, or as if a country that does not have confidence in your future ends up arguing between various versions of the past. The truth is that I feel really fed up with our social communication, and our “so-called social networks”, with a scandalous emphasis on the various television stations, certainly captured by undeniable interests, therefore not assumed, and that has distinguished itself for walking looking for the man who bit the dog, because that's the news! They only know how to look for the error, the failure, the scandal - which unfortunately happen more than the desirable and even the admissible - to make a loud noise of all sizes, hiding what is well done, disregarding the positive effects that its dissemination could have among citizens. I can no longer see or read and hear so many “know everything, especially…” to paraphrase Miguel Torga (Diário XVI) “Nobody asked me for the sermon, but I needed to vent publicly. I can't do so much with so much economics, so much megalomania, so short a vision of what we were, can and should be… (...). ” Well, you can tell me that we are not democrats, and we don't want to do like them, in my view that doesn't work, I don't want to either, and the vast majority of Portuguese people also don't want a social communication that only says well everything, what we what we want is a social communication from the exempt state, which communicates with truth, and not a social communication that manipulates and lies to the Portuguese. The reality is that we try to install in the citizens the fear, the dread, that we are lost, if we do not change political leaders! Let us be clear: if these attitudes are naturally expected from non-democratic forces, from forces that challenge the democratic regime and seek to lead us to new dictatorships, of a neoliberal nature, with a fascist tendency, they are unacceptable in forces that are assumed as democratic, as defenders of the values ​​of freedom and respect for the values ​​of democracy! ”Determination, courage and self-confidence are decisive factors for success. If we are possessed by unshakable determination, we will be able to overcome them. Regardless of the circumstances, we must always be humble, modest and stripped of pride. ”(Dalai Lama Someone will have asked if“ with this pandemic, we are already better prepared for any future threat ”, being the reality in these times when, at a moment emergency, like what we live, we can’t say yes to everything and we don’t want to say yes to everything anymore. But for that and for that reason, we will have to be more attentive to everything around us, the fact is that it’s not necessary to give up one's own positions, the freedom to criticize, to point out mistakes, is that there are also mistakes, because only those who do not do not make mistakes! To make mistakes, but one cannot help but think, but one cannot help risking "I am not ashamed to correct my mistakes and change my mind, because I am not ashamed to reason and learn."
