A stony humanity

(ES)

There is a common place inhabited by the worst feelings, far from ethical and moral principles, the native land of conscienceless careerists. Housed in its misery, coexist the wealth and poverty, some in its meanness and others in its misfortune. Inert and soulless place where the human intelligence, free from conscience, predator becomes the dignity, opportunities and hopes of the oppressed.

Gaunt and soulless human beings inhabit there, their crimes go unpunished, its heart frozen.

Millions stare, silent witnesses to their barbarism, without realizing that their complicit silence, their busy life with passion for banal occupations, are nothing more than an unequivocal sign of their progressive dehumanization.

This common place of wealth and poverty is greed. A stony humanity goes into it, making the world a rocky wasteland. Only culture and education as a source of a true social progress will achieve to avoid the gradually desertification of humans.

"The Geology had lost a stone, and the society had won a man."
