On Countries of Words
Estación Promesas, where those who do not prove constructions but old discourses arrive, those who carry theories and not palpable facts that can be executed with what is available, those who want to change everything with fantastic speculations, those who deviate to avoid confrontation on important matters, those who believe their stance is a panacea and their permanent ideology, those who engage in accusations instead of debate (which destroys all dialogue), those who show nothing but promise to show (like magicians searching for lost hats), those who consider themselves miracles without demonstrating the miraculous, those who assume reason is an emotion and not a principle for creating necessities, those who believe the world begins with them and disregard everything prior, those who feed and encourage fears with anything. And these people, abundant in rhetoric, increase by promising failed models, alliances that later vanish, solutions to repeated apocalypses, etc. And for this, as if there were no memory, they present themselves as free from their past errors. And they go on, like the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The matter of the mice is for the reader to judge.
