Quiroga - 63

 Objects and subjects

Even if you conquer all the material resources that allow you to exist with independence, freedom and autonomy, you could not dispense with the help of other people, because even if you imagine that you would not need help, because you would buy the work of all of them, your money would not buy neither trust nor fidelity.

In the human imagination, it is legitimate to treat other people as objects that can be manipulated at will, but revolt also happens when this treatment is directed at ourselves, because we are well aware that human beings are not objects, but subjects of their own destiny, and that its immense value resides in subjective, invisible principles that cannot be valued in money, even if in the imaginary it is also affirmed that every human being can be bought. This is not true.
