A certain 2017

It may surprise that in such harsh present where indifference, injustice, and lies prevail, still the hope for peace, compassion, and the curiosity for a better world keep germinating. Behind so many closed gates today new paths open.

Up to what point will the unbridled concentration of wealth, power, and decisions keep controlling our destiny?

There are those who bet on a social explosion that would pave the way for new paths. But these explosions are in danger of being exploited by those hate vendors in search for scapegoats. Others, we bet on open transformations, guided by the will of treasuring diversity, and conciliate diverse interests, needs, and feelings. We would need to eliminate the huge wealth concentration, replace greed for noble goals, and end stealing, dominating, silencing or ignoring fellow human beings. The objective seems grandiose, it is only sensible; it seems naïve, it is ingenious; and when it becomes explicit, it is able to gather a myriad of wills that are disoriented and in pain today.

From Opinion Sur and with sincere humility, we will keep joining the collective effort to understand and interpret what is happening and, every time we can, share proposals to act that might help materialize a better world in permanent construction.

Greetings,
