Really don't know... and one can ask what is to think with complexity also... but I know it's rare or difficult in some contexts or own sufferings...polarization & attending emergency consumes all the energy sometimes...

After a year and a half still overhelmed by reality (I'll search the etimology of overhelmed later... in local sería "sobrepasada") if it only were simple enough like to choose if I want to watch again El huevo y la serpiente, El gran Dictador o El Padrino or to read instead el "Elogio de la lucidez" de Saramago...but no🙃

Still, still...I can't abandon some kind of hope in voting/democracy and in humanity...I'm a child borned in the 1968 dictatorship, raised in another dictatorship (the most cruel one we had) and I guess I survived the process with some amount of mental health enough to know what really cares when it seems all is bullshit... our generation is a kind of local flower power , the opposite and most of the time an explosive mix...and now it will rule the country (at least in visible terms...) 😁 Time to keep leading with our collective karma and shadows🙌

May I can transmutate my over-helm-ed-ness?🙌🙃

PEACE!, all kind of bodhichitas, forgiveness (as compassion and understanding for our/others sometimes complicated situations we cause and/or suffer as human beigns ) and still some sense of humor specially today for our dear country... 💗

Argentina’s next president is a libertarian economist whose brash style and embrace of conspiracy theories has parallels with those of Donald J. Trump.

NYTimes yesterday.

I saw that and thought about "Good Germans"

Reading "Canale Mussolini" ( in the Spanish version " Tierra de nadie") by Antonio Pennacchi . Wild terrible reading of a book wrote in some kind of dialect-slang in venetian/italian translated to some kind of Spanish slang version made in Spain...😅 Difficult to appreciate the literary side of it... let's say it's more a sinister historial anthropological experience... ( I'm in page 115 from 414) 😁The author were from the same town the parents and all the brothers and sisters of my grandfather were translated to in the early 1930...my grandfather and a cousin chose international migration instead some years before that in 1923... the facts between 1900 and 1923 mentioned in the book were very similar the ones my grandfather used to tell to us (the register in the author maybe more acid/cinical... I remember another kind of tone in the words of my grandfather). Already a siglo from all that... makes me wonder of the real dimension of time, social changes, ancestral memories and a very long etc..., maybe too much time ago, maybe not...🙃

Keep wondering and wondering about these freaky times...last saturday Eduardo Rinesi said something like the following in a speech-conversation in Humanidades y Artes University of our city. He invited Shakespeare, Borges, Scalabrini Ortiz, Darcy Ribeiro, tango lyrics, Arendt and other philosophers to the conversation. Cool and almost tender in times of distopian fiction😄
