Sometimes, while I am working (a non-alienated job, I\u00b4ve got to say thanks to that one<\/i>), I have a few minutes between task and task, and I always have a book by hand, no matter if by opening it I only get to read two sentences. A Russian roulette of wisdom, one never knows which piece of data, phrase, example we will encounter; until that thought strikes you and leaves you pondering that for a while\u2026 a micro moment of personal illumination.<\/p>\n

In one of those\u00a0opening and closing<\/i>\u00a0the book, a customer walks towards me, while grabbing his wallet, takes a quick glance to the cover of the book I am now closing:\u00a0Las venas abiertas de Am\u00e9rica Latina<\/span>\u00a0<\/i>(\u201cThe open veins of Latin America\u201d)\u00a0<\/i>by Eduardo Galeano.<\/p>\n

\"1<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey, hello there\u2026<\/i>\u00a0I say to him.<\/p>\n

Ah\u2026 so you want to cut your own veins with that book\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n

He did not say it in a mean way, he said it relaxed, like a comment passing by, like saying:\u00a0do not read this because it will get you bad vibes, it sucks.<\/i><\/p>\n

I sighed, with a little bit of complicity, but said to him:\u00a0Yeah, although it motivates us towards wanting to change all of this\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n

And it is so, because you stumble upon statements that make you see things from another point of view:<\/p>\n

“The labor day of the sugar slave extended to twenty hours.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

“The people who trust their survival to a single product are committing suicide.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

“There was in Cuba, in 1958, more prostitutes than miners.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

“A member of the Cuban <> even wrote about the advantage you can get from the misfortune of others.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

\u201cConverted into salaried, the peasant who used to grow his little plot, did not improve with the new situation, as he now does not earn enough money to purchase the food he produced before.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

“An estimated of ten million slaves were brought from Africa, from the conquest of Brazil to the abolition of slavery.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“The fiction of legality gives shelter to the Indian, the exploitation of reality made him bleed.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

I feel these truths, on how we managed our \u2014natural and human<\/i>– resources like tiny disposable goods, and how we keep on doing it leaving nature\u00a0offside<\/i>, are issues we can no longer ignore. The struggle for environmental protection, which comes wrapped by a paradigm shift that screams for sustainability with all of its strength, is a vision that transcends the geographic limits; hence, it can unite us as a species, longing for a future symbiosis with the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

In the words of Mart\u00edn Caparr\u00f3s, in his excellent \u201cContra el Cambio<\/span><\/i>\u201d (\u201cAgainst Change\u201d):<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is fantastic to have stumbled upon a cause in common, so apparently noble, so indisputable \u2014in the strict sense of the of the word indisputable-, so unifying that can be raised by a young Nigerian woman who cooks with firewood or the president of the United States or my auntie P\u00fapele of the Morgan Bank. Fantastic: and it serves even as a subject to be taught to young kids at school \u2014or as propaganda material and, above all, public relations<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Until next week,<\/p>\n

Brian Longstaff.-<\/p>\n
