A girl outside the build runs down the hill. Pink t-shirt. Her boobs balance and she slow downs so her sweater does not fall. Just yesterday we all ran, afraid of animals, or chasing them for food. We were mostly naked and now perfectly cut pieces of a very sophisticate material cover our bodies. They are even easy to produce. How? Why? Amazing.
I know. This is far from perfect. While I sit here, writing a thesis, other people not far from here are still fighting for survive. The difficulties are different. In many case is not just that they are not part of the economy yet, it is also that there is not other form of life anymore, and some people are outside. How are we going to improve that in a consistent way? Not just the temporal pills against the headache. I will not accept the things as they are. Something happened just yesterday, something may change just tomorrow. We are faster now. At least we have the opportunity.
Just yesterday
I'm seeing through the window, this time to a building titled Centro de Microbiologia y Biología Celular (Spanish of Center of Microbiology and Cellular Biology). It is surrounded by trees and flowers in this beautiful mountains where the IVIC is located. Behind me, again, tons of journals with the new thoughts and findings of thousands of researchers around the world. Nowadays it surprise me that we are here, at this moment of history, when just yesterday we barely eat anything we can collect or kill. Am I different from my predecessors who managed to survive over centuries, being genetically as human as I am? What made us take the time to consider the connections of the things?, to trust each other?, to depend each other in such a way than I'm not able to feed myself without the rest of the world that provide me food, house, health.
