Oswaldo GuayasamÃn The pain and misery of humanity ...
The letter with blood enters
By Carolina Vásquez Araya: Societies need rules, according to which they operate from a certain order and under certain concepts. In exceptional cases, when there is a sudden transformation of existing systems or the breakdown of an established line of norms and agreements, it is necessary to rethink the paradigms - or the body of beliefs, presuppositions, rules and procedures that define human behavior in all the fields: science, spirituality, social relations - in order not to get lost in a situation of chaos and conflict.
Today, the human community needs to reflect, as it seldom does, on the basis of its relationship with the world, with its peers and with its own essence. Her existence has experienced a shock of enormous proportions and, despite not yet having the sufficient capacity to capture the dimension of its impact on present and future life, she knows by intuition that she is in a process of radical transformations, still unknown. For the great majority it is impossible to cover the vision of the forest; so, to preserve their emotional stability, they focus on the closest tree. In this way, the immediate and the known becomes a flotation table before the immensity of the imponderable.
The greatest challenge in the face of a pandemic attack capable of turning a life system considered immovable and whose foundations suddenly seem to disappear, is to understand the need to create a new order of things. The current crisis has removed many veils and, although we already knew that they were there, we have tried to ignore them. Among them, the powerful influence of a rapacious and perverse economic system, whose interests are priority and indisputable even when the consequences of their decisions constitute the sacrifice of millions of human lives. An unfair system to which we have folded for comfort. Therefore, we are faced with the urgency to think, analyze, reflect and finally understand that our world will never be the same again. But above all, how are we going to embrace and drive this change.

Lágrimas De Sangre - Oswaldo Guayasamin
"The letter with blood enters" or "School scene" is a painting painted by Francisco de Goya and Lucientes between 1780 and 1785, where the Spanish artist stages an educational model based on the effectiveness of punishment. It is, keeping our distance, what has been imposed on us today by what we call a pandemic - conspiratorial or not - from which we must draw a hard lesson: that we are not in control of our world. In fact, what we have tried to ignore in order to have a more gratifying life and with certainty or certainty of security, today strikes us in the most precious thing in our environment: relative freedom, family, economic stability.
However, since we must come out of this phenomenon with an assortment of resources more suitable for the survival exercise, it is imperative to start with the paradigm shift and, very especially, an essential re-education exercise to reinforce our mental health, without which no future effort will be successful. On this route, the notion of individuality to which we are so accustomed will possibly be lost, to lay another paradigm: that we live in a world of communicating vessels and we depend on the implicit interrelationships in a dynamic social fabric, without which it will be impossible for us to overcome the challenge of change.
