THE SLEEP OF REASON

That was said by Francisco Goya, the spanish painter El sueño de la razón produce monstruos) is anby the Spanish painter and printmaker Created between 1797 and 1799, it is the 43rd of 80 etchings making up the suite of satires  Goya imagines himself asleep amidst his drawing tools, his reason dulled by slumber and bedeviled by creatures that prowl in the dark. 
The work includes owls that may be symbols of folly and bats symbolising ignorance. 


 


The artist's nightmare reflected his view of Spanish society, which he portrayed in the Los Caprichos as demented, corrupt, and ripe for ridicule.

But now we could say that the crisis and pooverty of millions of people in Europe create extremist groups that seems some how like monsters by their ideas and reasons.
Utopic ideas that some time conduct people to extreme violence against other
they think are guilty of the crisis, their desperation or poverty.


 

It is the same, extreme right or extreme left groupt seems to be against everything that remember democratic rules or ideas.

In Greece, extreme right, in Demmark, France or Holland just the same extreme right groups that are agains inmigrants, muslims, latinos, blacks and so forth but even agains the idea of Europe, Liberalism, Socialist Democracy and what have been the rules that come from European Parliament.


At the extreme left have now another groups that some how have some equal ideas or proposals respect the Euro or Europe that the extreme right what is really curious.
Some how extreme positions touch itself about some points. 

The worst monster that mind and men could create it is war. Through history some people have belive that weapons and war could be the way to expand 
what is called armed revolution.



Be alert about these new groups at the extreme right or left that are growing up
in thise time of social suffering.
It is necessary to encrease life level of millions to avoid reborn of extreme groups and ideas that always along human history have lead to fights and war.

Just think what has happened in the last Europe´s Parliament Elections and what kind of extreme groups, at the right - at the left, in different countries have been alected only three days ago.

That´s all for today.
