Quiroga - 286

 The adored pleasure

Through the soul of our humanity snakes the pleasure of censoring, criticizing and lecturing, with the intention, even if unconscious, of feeling superior, with the authority to place someone, always someone else, in their rightful place, which is not one of exaltation, but of opprobrium, and to practice this pleasure one spares no effort, not caring that he/she has to lie, defame and distort reality so that it continues to provide him/her with arguments to remain in his/her beloved pleasure.

Conspiracy theories supply the demand for this pleasure, to which, who would dare throw the first stone if it is something that, to different extents, we all do? It is precisely because we treat this pleasure as something legitimate, that we grant power to those who use disinformation as a weapon of mass destruction.

Feelings that are not expressed in the most transparent way possible have the fate of turning into resentment, which is a type of poison that corrodes the cup that contains it, which is the soul that keeps them within itself.
