Everything changes in this world. Politics is a profession which, unlike religion, cannot be changed. It is a profession that does not live in moderation. It would be appropriate to say here that there is a big difference between the words and actions of politicians. Politics is a mobile and wavering field, let us not forget that it is a branch of morality, or it should be, since it originates from that tree and its primary function is to order and seek the good for the citizens, not for those who execute it; but since in this era morality has transgressed all barriers, since ethics is for many a past story, politics and its operators have been dragged by that other language that evolves or regresses over time, whose shades of gray have become infinite . The feeling is that we can no longer talk about left and right in the world, there are mixtures that make up other points, and although I am not an expert in politics, any thinking citizen can see an iridescent panorama, a rainbow that even includes black and white, a new way of doing politics, perhaps naked, without caring at all that they see them naked and know their strategies, a gloating about the disgusting lack of morals, a prostitution of the political act that has been taking place in the middle of the street in full view of all, power in the hands of classes when there is awareness that the people should have it. Perhaps historians and political scientists can qualify and classify them today or in the future, of course much better than what a simple citizen who does not always exercise, by right or dignity, but who gives her opinion when she wants to because she knows it is her right.
Today everything happens very fast all over the planet, what is one thing today will be another tomorrow, allies and sides change, they spy on each other, they transmute, everything is left uncovered and the language continues to mutate. A language that we make among all, not only world leaders are responsible for the state of the world, humanity in general, in some way contributes from ignorance, apathy, neutrality, idolatry, innocence, complicity or comfort. and the excessive zeal for ideology, religion or the search for pleasures and possessions that can be the deadly trap, from blindness to life and reality, we are all accomplices because we sleep in a system that has us as slaves and few can see him. We are living in a time of transformation, we must accept it, we must see the old political models for what they are, part of the past, we cannot continue longing for the old utopias, we must remove the blindfolds to stop seeing in black and white. There are many grays, there are thousands of colors, new colors that appear throughout the world in different forms and denominations, colors that lead groups of men and women with the intention of changing, distributing, equating or sharing, seeking the good of humanity, freedom through knowledge and opportunities. Leaders who are born as buttons of hope in the midst of this apocalyptic world. eye! Because even within that range thorns can come with the mere fact of dominating and stripping freedoms, everything is possible because the human desire for power is insatiable.
But we, the common citizens, the mortals, have forgotten life, we are absorbed by the desire to possess and in this way we displace our peers dominated by competition, we forget that resources are finite and that we all need them, nobody needs three jobs and then lose your family or your life, for living so many hours as a machine and not as a human. No nation needs workers who give up their health and their future in exchange for working in industries or jobs that threaten their physical, moral or psychological integrity, no nation should need armies trained to eliminate everything that comes their way, and no people you can revere an idea that doesn’t suit you much more when you have the results in sight. But all this happens before our eyes.
As long as we remain convinced that the Greeks invented magic dust to rule the world and we sit back and wait for a certain class to do everything right while we watch, without saying a word, we will be struck down and will never come out of involution. Let’s remember that the checker board of our mind sometimes divides only into whites and blacks, forgetting the grays. Democracy is a pill for life, but its implementation must be complete and without a doubt that the world has been losing the spirit of sharing power with the participation and conviction of educated and aware citizens, not blinded by factions and colors . Some people are led by men or women with good intentions, who beyond their failures have great successes and have been able to change the paradigms of the system that we all had, but they are still isolated cases that cannot beat great empires and the needs become many when the world shines out. It is clear that the political class was “evolving” and in almost the whole world it was turning into a class with a monarchical aroma, which includes families that more here or beyond share power. Possessing class of almost magical powers that save it from all difficulties in real life, possessing the lands, the industries, the contacts, the millionaire taxpayers, the bulging bank accounts and the right to acquire the best knowledge, the best lifestyle, the best jobs, rights and possessions that are extended to rulers to their extended families, privileges to which some opponents aspire, to the point of becoming skillful demagogues with the aim of achieving power. The whole society has been impoverished and losing education, due to what Bout Dieu calls “the collapse of elementary solidarities” due to neo liberal policies throughout the world. But this does not happen only in neo liberal democratic countries, but also in pseudo-democracies of the left and of course in all dictatorships, in oppressive monarchical regimes of all kinds. Imagine how many humans live oppressed lives, denied their fundamental rights around the world, in a time that we say is the most advanced in the history of humanity. Gives to think. Give to get to find a solution and the fastest is to educate. So many times after the death of a leader, hypocrites and madmen cling to power only out of ambition and not out of the conviction of sincerely participating in that branch of morality, not to favor their people but rather to exalt their egos or their fanaticism. . Then comes the void, the division of power, the war and the dream of the dead leader rolls on the ground. The most unfortunate thing is that we are no longer in the times of Alexander and his successors and that all this could be foreseen, but many more powerful and suspicious. Most world societies will come in order to snatch the precious treasures of the people, because of that It is about owning the people’s assets, just as in ancient times, after the war, in front of the corpses, the loot was distributed. Now they share the loot in front of us, while they look us in the eye and lie to us. All this is unfortunately but real, stories repeat themselves. The heart of man, in all ages, has been inhabited by the same attributes” good and bad, It is always the same heart now as before, it will only be necessary to educate it so that it does not bring out the beast that it carries within. But the subject of education is fundamental in a society and to want to reduce more and more the participation of students and professors in the councils of the institutions is to attack against the exercise of democracy, because the citizen is being killed from the beginning, it is taking away power and desire to participate, it is taught to obey a ruling class without the right to reply, a path is marked out from which it cannot get out and that smells ugly, it smells of authoritarianism and abuse of power. And let us remember that if there is no democratic education, nor conscience, we will be slaves to the classes that want to dominate us, because under the wing of a mortal who subjugates us, we will always be prisoners of death. We need to overcome it.
