THE DEAD TRADITION
Our civilization seems to go back to the Middle Ages, but this is just an optical illusion, like the retrogradation of the planets, because the future is not one of fear, but of trust, and if any worldly power seeks to command in the future, it will have to betting on trust, and not on the oppression caused by fear that violence, crime and indecency perpetrate, ingredients that are the fruit of traditions that are dying, but that still persist like zombies.
We judge reality by its appearance, because we do not dedicate ourselves to making the impartial reflections necessary to begin to scratch a true understanding of the value of our time, and we mistakenly give weight to what appears to be the violent and oppressive majority that continues to rely on fear to remain in power.
Even though the people who rely on trust are an apparently despicable minority of our humanity, they will be the ones who will command in the future, because human visceras are exhausted from ignoble oppression, and the wars that are brewing, here and now, will no longer find a passive society, which accepts anything, for fear of being oppressed and mistreated.
The tradition of gaining respect through fear is definitely dead.
