The next day brings the certainty that one is on the planet. A friend sent an email announcing that comet “C/2022 E3 (ZTF)” could be observed with the naked eye since mid-January at night, with dark conditions to observe it in the celestial vault. It is a fact astronomical that the last time it was seen on Earth was 50 thousand years ago. It is an opportunity to feel that you are on the planet, alive, with the certainty that the Sun It will light up again the next day, in a few hours. And he will be there, alive, breathing and supporting and supported by each other. In this continuous movement of the earth around the sun, which gives day and night to those who live here. With the certainty of the next day.
The previous lines serve as an introduction to insist on this space, kind reader, which Education is the only tool that human beings have to achieve a society where it is possible to live in peace, equality, freedom and security. Leaving everything to the impulses of consumption can turn us into alienated subjects and only worshipers of merchandise, above all, money. A minute in front of a screen is enough to see a tumult of offers go by. Education can give us elements to turn to see the sky, the moon, the stars and perhaps even a comet. Stop thinking about when we can buy this or that thing. And savor some guavas that were cut from a tree with his own hand, or by the hand of the smallest, Rigo, who this season was already able to climb the mango and guava trees.
OF TREASON. In politics, betraying is pragmatism. Few, very few, are the political actors who make a presentation public his jacket changes. because the real public exposure of the treason It is in the citizen vote. If a politician betrays and stands for an election with the flag of another match, it is the voters who decide if they will give him the majority of the votes and the exercise of power. And likewise, since his constitutional term of government concludes, it will be the vote of the majority who decides if that new party, adopted by the one he betrayed, continues in power, or if there is alternation. so is the democracy.
In these times convulsed by organized crime in Sinaloaand the presence of the presidents ofe USA and Canada in Mexico, with agenda of their interests in meetings trilateralthere are a few lines about treason, in countries with regimes democratic: In the book “In Praise of Betrayal” of Jeambar and Roucaute, we found these quotes: “A foreign and inevitable rule of the government of men, a fundamental factor of social cohesion, betrayal is an imperative need of developed democratic states. For now, it is the only method that makes it possible to manage time and social periods…In a universe of increasing complexity, rigidity causes cracks, while pragmatism allows one to face obstacles, overcome difficulties, overcome blockages…Motive force of the politics, denial is necessary for the conquest of power, its stability and its efficiency. It is the instrument that allows the interests of the ruler and the ruled to be harmonized, the shield against blindness and the arbitrariness of what Benjamin Constant called the interest of the master”.
PARAGRAPHS: OF THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE. But treachery is not the fraud nor violate the Will popularthat’s trap Y electoral crime typified by law and is punished by the authorities, even with corporal punishment. Let us see what for these authors does the balance between the treason and the elections. “However (betrayal), it is not an open door to opportunism: in effect, betrayal finds its limits in the election… when (betrayal) turns its back on the voter’s aspirations, it suffers a sanction. Thus, between betrayal and choice, a fragile balance is established with which politicians cannot play with impunity. It is undoubtedly in this uncertain combination that political art finds its nobility. A dangerous exercise for those who practice it, the betrayal-choice alchemy always walks on the edge of the precipice of failure and the abyss of irrationality”. We can, to end these quotes, say that what stops the fall into the abyss (for example, of citizen perception in surveys) is precisely the rationality of the democratic vote. That is where the citizen who decides to get the most votes will win, regardless of whether or not it was consistent with a certain rigidity. moral either partisan. The last sanction is that of popular suffragethe vote on the day of the choice, where each vote counts one, and only one. (Readings, THE DEBATE, 13/Jan/2013).
