WHO ARE BETTER

Years ago  I was reading in the paper that the increase of Taxes (IVA) here in Spain affects to our best friends who humans may have at home, their pets.
The prices of veterinaries have increase so much that a lot of persons, old people mostly, can´t carry their pets to these professionals but also to buy the medicines for the animals have encreased a lot.

But not only veterinaries or medicines for the pets have increased, also pets food now it is now very expensive.

Too much expensive for people that have not enough even to buy food for themselves and retired people use to have pets and their money has decrease absolutely.

Last year more than 100.000 dogs have been taken off from their houses only in Spain and it is for sure that even more are going to be abandonee, what is evidently a tragedy for the pets and for their owners.

I can´t imagine doing that with Gatufo, I prefer to be hungry before doing such a thing, of course.

Also it is said that euthanasy of the pets has encrease just a lot, the same with poor cats (nearly 30.000), just because for some more decent people it is imposible to mantaing their pets and they prefer that the poor animal doesn´t suffer being abandoned.

For retired old people it is good to have a nice pet at their home, they feel better taken care of their friend and frequently it is the only reason to go out from home to walk.
Healthy and good not to be so alone in doors. Going out from home is good for all these old people that frequently I could see if I go to the park or going for a walk near home.

I am really concern about these news that affects me just a lot.

Cats don´t need to walk but they need a lot o care, just playing with them is good and they give us their love againts so little from our part.
That is just what Gatufo needs from me and the cat gives me all his love and nice company.
This misery situation that we are going through has these kind of situations and it is really too sad.
Old or poor families can´t have their pets at home because prices have encrease so much or their pesonal situation has gone from bad to worst.
So bad for the animals, but even worst for us that can´t have our best friends at home because it is absolutely imposible now.

Thanks God it is not my situation for the moment, and I prefer to avoid all kind of things before taken off muy dear Gatufo out home.
This will be the last, unthinkable by all means. He gives me so much love that now I can not understand our life without our dear cat.
He has changed our life for good, that is sure.

I think it is another great mistake of this goverment, just to encrease the price of this little subjects that make our life better.

This goverment, now is there not any, but it did so when it forget all the promises they made about not encreasing prices, IVA, and so forth. They are transpasing the red line month after month, and even not encreasing the pension of pensioners has been their great mistake. I could be just the drop that fills the glass and sure we are going to see it next elections.

They say, the goverment, that the instructions come from Brussels. the European Bank, the
rich countries from Europe that give us the loans and so forth.

May be we could dispense the Government of ruling our country, the same with Greek, Italy, Ireland or Portugal and doing what Brussels or the European Bank order all of our poor countries.
Doing this way we could save a lot of money that is being paid to our politicians, mayors, parliamentarians, community Presidents, senators, and plugged people.

Just doing what Brussels said, Germany or other rich countries from the North of Europe said it should be sufficient to save our money not encreasing life in the way it is happening now.

Evidently who gives the money gives the orders, and now it is not our time.

But what come be done?. What about our pets? old people? un-employers?.
I do think it is a REAL SHAME for us already but time is changing and being so proud about our past gives us really no any loans to survive.

TILL WHEN?
No body knows, but I am really piss off with all of this events.

BEING OUT

Something similar to be out of this world, nearly to be in coma, it is the experience I am afraid of being now.
Since June when Cuca has been moved out of home I think that could be one of the worst period of life I have lived as far as could remember.

Nothing coudl be of my concern or interest, despite my wealthy situation was not so bad as the situation of millions out of my own world.

Thousands and thousands of them have lost their work, their houses, their hopes and even some of them their life.
I didn´t want even to know about what was happening outdoors, what for?. It was always de same, bad news, even worst to someone like me who was going through a bad period of his own life.

At the end, just to not let dying this "Gatufo Blog" I have to make an effort and have taken my writing style once more time, and I´ll continue as long as I could.
But the problem for me it is: what to write about? sad news once and again?. No, to much bad news reading the paper or listening to the TV. or Radio.
It was as a challenge to write about different topics, something to make us smile, poems, amusing events, or curiosities of history. 
Human history that some time a bit change or a humans un trascendent domestic decision diverts the course of history and the lives of millions of people.

By the way, I admire the loyalty of my cat Gatufo as once he gives us his loyalty or love it is always kind, affective, never angry or spiteful with us.
Gatufo wanted alwyas to play with me despite I was out, without any will to play with him.

Despite that Gatufo was kind, affective and wanted always to be on my lap.
Yes, I look at him and I could see he is a happy creature day after day, without asking anything about his world or never thinking about his future.
I would like to change for him several times, and even more along this past last year that I was feeling myself so bad, so depressive for such a long time.
 
Today that I am writing this lines all is different inside my mind. It seems depression is out from me....Thanks God, and I am in good disposition to write about funny things not only the sad events are happening now in the world, in France, in Siria, in Turkey, and so forth.
 
I need to write about odd news, about poesy, politician jokes, and from time to time about quotidian's problems here in this so poor country and other places.

Yes, I know people are suffering just a lot.....as ever every where round the world. Nothing new as humans are predators to human beinns always. That´s the sad rule through history.
Now things are going really too bad for people here, in Europe or other places, just after we all think we were rich and have enough money to spend.

The State of good living is over, once again, after several persons started to think this state of real good living was for long, or even for ever.

I need to look for some funny news, interesting topics and so forth to make this gatufo blog more amusing for you and for me.

Thanks a lot and the best for this year that is in fact begining.

ARE THERE WORDS TO SAY?

Nothing to say or to think.....

It is just a pity but it is the truth, what can I talk about?. My head is blocked and being so bad I am absolutely fed up with so much talking about the euro. loans, public deficit, prime risk, and what is even worst european´s politicians who do nothing or past away from the problems of the European´s south countries and now other problems, inmigrants, people who die crossing the sea, war, more wars....and so forth.

Politicians from the European North countries are against any help to Greek, Spain, Portugal or Italy.
Even they are against receiving people who comes with fear because their countries are in WAR.

These countries from the North of Europe make a lot of electronic machines, gadgets or high technology but what about food?.
What about fruits, vegetables, jamon, wine, good oil and so fort?.

Evidently they can´t eat a celular as a Nokia, a car as Mercedes or a high design furniture as human beings need food, to be feed.

South Europeans countries as Italy, Greek, Spain or Portugal do have a lot of food to feed  their people and to export north countries that have so bad wether, but also need money to buy the high technology products from the North or to pay the social necessities of the citizens.

My country, Spain, has all these kind of good food that North Europeans like so much.
So please, don´t be so proud about your money....if you don´t sell to us you are not going to be feed with nice oranges, strawberries, olive oil, and all kind of fruits or vegetables out of time.

B.C.E., Brussels, don´t be so much serious about strict rules, don´t have your hands so closed to let currency fluency.
We need loans, of course, but you need to sell your productions and also to recover your loans to Mediterraneas countries. 

Here in my country there is a saying that says:

"If your debt is a thousand you have a problem but if your debt it is of some thousand millions it is just the problem of the other"....Be careful about this subject.

So if countries like Greek, Spain or Portugal decides to go out from the euro.........not conceivable by now......but United Kingdom had do that, just incredible THE BREXIT, the problem should be a global one not only a problem for us.

Be alert countries like Finland, Denmark, Netherland or Germany as the fall should be general.... to what countries are you going to sell your technology? how are you going to recover your loans?. Think about it, please, and don´t be so slow in taking resolutions, not be so strict and not impose so much hard rules to be accomplished by us.  

 With your actitude you are making too much suffering to our south people.

Have also in mind that countries from south Europe are the cradle of modern culture as law, theatre, art, numbers, calendar, religion, medicine, mathematics and so forth.
The best ancient thinkers are from Greek, Philosophy, Mathematics, Astronomie....
Think about the seven Athem´s wise men: Tales de Mileto, Bias de Priene, Solom of Athens, Quilon of the Cedemonia (Esparta), Periandro de Corinto, Cleobulo de Lindos, and Pitaco of Mitileno.
Also think in Averroes, (Cordoba), Avicena (Cordoba), Seneca, Adriano, Trajano, all  of them were born in Spain.
Sócrates, Platón, and Aristóteles. Arquimides, Pitagoras,  from Greek.
Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael, Gioto, Vivaldi, ...Leonardo di Medici, Italian Renaissance, The Roman Law....the list could be endless.
The Western culture comes from these ancient civilizations, do not forget that.

It is sure that if Greek goes out from euro, followed by Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy, .......the world crack would be unthinkable.
Think and please stop your threats and your impositions that are unenforceable for us the poor people of south.

Our countries have millenniums of culture to be afraid now, just do another thing instead and it will be sure that Europe could be good for every all people and all the countries of Europe, the same from the south and for the north.

It is enough, people are killing themselves all ovet the south due for the hard circunstances of these years, and all next Orient are in war.
Hundred of thousand people are in a hurry going out from their home, coming here as their last solution.
What is going to hapen with so many persons?
And the other we have here in Spain that can´t pay their house mortages because they have lost their works, their hopes, their self-steem and at the end some are killing themselves too.

Do you know about that or you don´t know anything about what is happening along the last two or three years?.
Your and our politicians are so bad as to do nothing to find a good solution to these problems.
Well here, in my country Spain it is a disaster what is happening with these so bad called lideres.

This is a world´s crisis that could affect to every body here, there, and everywhre it could longs for too many years.
¿or not, who knows?. It seems that but hopes is the last feeling to lost.

My best to all of us.

WHAT ABOUT FRIENDS?

  (IBIZA´S PHOTOS taken by emiliano)

Friendship? yes that is a difficult subject to write about, indeed, that is.
To me is one of the most important experiences a person may have, but not all people thinks the same, of course, for some the best subject to have is love, money, be succesfull in your work or in your life, health of course, but even sex or have a lot of everything.

Other are more simple persons that need nearly nothing to be happy, no friends, no money, no things at all, only a nice quiete life it is enough for them.
Recently I have known a person like this, a new friend from Italy, that scarcely needs their house, their work, and some cats....and what is the best...he is a happy man that need nothing to live as his own work and silence space.
Congratulation dear......if your read this you know I am appointing to you.

More or less my dear Cuca is so. She now needs really nothing to be just a bit happy.
Being without posibilities of going out from home, to a theatre, a trip, for shopping, and so forth....she is happy with her life, a P.C., time to write, to see power points, a movie, to care her cat gatufo, and to care her husband, me.

I am just a Little different, odd?, may be but all my life I have needed friends.
To me friendship has been one of my priorities in life.
I have some friends since more than fourty years, and we see ach other with pleasure despite every one of us have their life, their problems, and it is not necessary to see us every day or frequently.

Friendship is it a difficult subject to talk to?

Well I do think so, every one understand this matter in a different way.
To meit  is clear, one of the best things a man/woman could have it is only to have at least ONE real friend.....some times it is enough.
At least it is what my dea Cuca said to me.

Fortunately for me I have more than......? two?   it could be.

My first, of course, it is my dear Cuca-friend-lover-mother of my daughters-wife and now sharing our life together, being happy with Little things.
She is indoors along moths, without going out home, she has multiple esclerosis, but I think she is happy with her life, having me close near to her it is the most treasure thing she could wish....well I think so.
Another quite good friends are three woman, and two man.....that I could see frequently, despite, as I said before, have their own life.

Finally I have one of my best ...far away....thousand of kilometers from here, Madrid, my house. but to me is absolutely important to have him like one of the best.
It is a pity we can´t see each other, different life, task, age, sittuation and so forth.
But he is one of the best friends I ever had.., life is so strange.
Who knows what is happening in future?.
------
Other people I have met along my life reminds in my mind absolutely as incredible good friends also. 
An English woman, a Greek woman, their husbands. and so forth.
Even when I was working I do have good friends at work, but that was in my other life several years ago.

Recently I thought I had a new friend, a young woman, who lives close near  home.
I thought she was a friend of us, mine and my dear Cuca, it was a great mistake by my part.
After some time of be mistaken, and along the last, I could see that friendship for her means really nothing...........so it is possible that for her a successfully life or work it is the only thing she prefers, and that is over every other things.

Why I could say that?.
It has been quite easy for me........there was not any kind of frienship in our relation as I could see last year.
For her their work, a good interesting work, was first of all and it was so evidently to me and to my wife that what first seems like a favour she was doing giving me a new expensive, very expensive, treatment for a disease I had for long nearly cost me the life.
Even this wasn´t the worst, as I have to stop it because it was too hard of being supporting, in all my life i have felt myself so bad, I was feeling close to die, and doing that it was my big mistake for proud herself.

After that I didn´t understand her reaction, not any interest about my healthy state, not much more visits, silence, and so forth.
Evidently, I was not good informed about what kind of treatment I was going to have but she, knowing our kind of life she could consider if this treatment was good or it wasn´t  and also could be first of all a friend, it was my big mistake, just considering her like a friend, not a doctor.

Evidently, not always we could choose or know previously how kind of friend a person could be of us.
What is the most important thing for this new person is in his/her life.
Evidently for her, the new supposed friend, first was her profession.

Even worst now,  one of my first friends it  is also very bad because a new disease has appeared in her life life and now I am very worried and sad about her health condition. 
Be strong dear friend I hope you´ll be out from the hospital very soon, and could be together remembering the year you have been so bad.

My best wishes to all of you. Have a good friend it could be the best for us, with only a good one could be enough.....as a wise woman close to me told me so frequently.

Thanks Cuca.

el gatufo.

this is also my friend, gatufo, always with me at my side
for the good and for the bad.........

JUST ANOTHER DAY

Talking about our world, our Spanish world what can I say now?.
It is easy, more soon that later we will be again fighting against adversity, that is for sure.
Nothing good is coming for the year 2016 or even the 2017.
The wealthy countries of Europe are going to be poor once more.
The south is being left to their own luck, as a ship that is going deep to the sea, and north European ´s politics are looking to another side, not listening the shouts of help, help, of millions from the south.

Why? Who knows.
The building buble, the banks, the politicians, we, the people spending too much money than money that we could afford?. It could be just a Little of all, we thought the time of being not so rich were over but reality is coming faster every day.
Here, in my country politicians said continously that it is necessary to follow in the "State of good being"...."El estado del bien estar"  but what is that?.
What is good being?. To have money to spend, to much money than we have? the subject than we have only rights but not any obligations? The rule of the less effort? Just that everything were for free?.


It seems  to me that all these last years we have been living up our real situation. Listening so many lies we thought we were rich and spent too much euros that the amount we have.
But now we have to pay them.
Ir is impossible such amount, and we could pay only the interest of the loans, what to do, just to ask for more loans to pay the interest....and so on, year after year.....till when?.
Who knows, the debts are increasing and the saving decrease too much faster.

This past years of 2012 - 2015 have been so bad, but I think the year we are living now it could be even worst till the point no body knows, we have not any Goberment, we know nothing about future, the only news thar are coming from Europe or the world are really tragics and very painfully.

I could not understand how so many young people have to be off from here, it is happening now in Spain the same situation than in South America some years before?.

More than 45 per cent of young people have not work, that is impossible of support for a country where are so many retired persons.

They need to go out from here, year after year, the same that I would do if I could be in the same situation.
But mine now it is completely different, not grandsons, or granddaughters, so the future of my
family stop with my daughters..., and fortunately till the momment they could work.
Well, it is too much for today, I am going to bed and I prefer not to think in future.

Tomorrow will be another day to live, and that is enough for the moment.....just to be alive and going on despite everything looks not so 
well.


Greetings,

¿QUIEN SOY YO?

(fotos de IBIZA tomada por emiliano)

SUFRIMIENTO

Me pides no sufrir con tu dolor de hoy, pues incremento tu
angustia cuando en mi la ves.

Alegría tendré aunque yo no la sienta pues se bien mi amor
que aligerar yo puedo.

La pena profunda que embarga tu ser, o el dolor constante
que siento en tu mirada.

 TEMOR

Dime que no estoy solo pues tengo miedo.
Dime que nunca lo estaré pues de mi no te irás.
Dime que dormirás a mi lado y descansaré.
Dime que tu me amas y seré feliz.

 Soledad

Cuando voy o vengo acompañado de mi ser estoy
nunca solo me encuentro.
No, yo no me fui presentado ni tampoco me elegí
de repente encontré el ser que soy.
En el que sin querer me he convertido tras largos
años conviviendo conmigo.

¿Quien soy yo?. ¿Quién es ese que siento?, quisiera
saberlo pues con gusto o sin el  siempre viviendo
con mi ser estoy.
Donde quiera que vaya sin elegirme como amigo
allá estará el. ¿Quién es? ¿A quien siento? ¿Alguna
vez lo sabré?.

Soy yo mismo y no me conozco, ni tan siquiera se
si me plazco. ¿Disfruto de mi compañía o no me
aguanto?.
El ser que soy en constante cambio, confuso a veces
me desconcierta tanto que....cuando el equilibrio con
migo hallo, si , entonces al fin descanso.

WHERE IS MY LOVE?

Where is the sun,
where is the sky,
where is my love.
where she has gone.
Far away from home
you need to go
what can I do
when you be not.
Too much to feel
too much to think
not now but soon
she will be not home.
Without you I must go
extrange I will feel
inside these extrange walls
when you will be not.


Sooner or later Cuca will be not here at home with me, I try not to think too much about it, but ahead it is the real fact.
What will I do, not any idea but it is sure that the house will be not home any more.
Multiple Sclerosis is making it´s bad work inside her and after resisting me for a long time at last it has been necessary to ask for a nursing where she could receive a good care.
Doctor said me that once and again, so finally after talking with the social assistant and listening to her I gave my arm twisted and have done what they told me.
May be a year of waiting, six months, I don´t really know but little by little my mind is accepting the idea of letting her going out home.
In some way it is possible she could be better than here but not me that start to miss her before the fact happens.

IN GOOD OR BAD MOOD

Wake up it is something difficult for me. 
Just the act of beginning a new day after being sleep for hours required from me a big effort to start the morning cheerful, with a smile in my face, even just saying something like good morning my dear, have you sleep well?.

If there is something irregular in my life the first thought I have in the morning it is just this problem.
A friend who is passing through difficulties, subjects with the family or in the office, when I was working, and so forth...always the first thought should be so.
I do think it happens to nearly every person but sure I am not so certain about this  premise, not all people have to feel the same, that´s for sure.
Good luck for them as getting up in bad mood it is always quite disagreeable for people around me.

Who knows how a baby sleep? or an adult? it is always  the form a baby dreams to the way of an old person?. Why some people are a good wake up and other a bad
humor just since there were born?

Being a children it was hard to wake up to go to the school very soon. I could remember that the hour of being in it was 8 a.m. every day and it cost me a lot.
Madrid it is a city very cold in Winter. Usually we have less two or three degrees at the morning to reach up fourteen or fifteen at noon which it is a big difference and the body suffers this changes in temperatura aching a lot.

Now I could see that children go to the school being so small, and they use to cry aloud every morning just because the don´t want to go.
I do think it is cruel what we do with the little babies  taking them so small to the nurseries every morning just because their parents have to work.

Being a baby, a boy and finally and adult I have felt always the same, my humor is bad as son as I open my eyes in the mornings.
I need at least half an hour to get my humor in a good way, to talk or to reply some questions or even to be concious about the reality of a new day, good , bad or or the simple daily routine of the moment is living.

Yes, I can imagine what could be the feelings of a person that his life have changed suddenly from a day to another. The dead of a husband or a wife, a son or daughter, a sudden sickness or accident that changes our way of living for ever.
Just the first subject we use to think as my eyes are open is all the reality of the moment, the lack of my mother, a bad situation in the office, the last argue with my wife or a friend, and so on.

However I know persons close to me that use to wake up brightness, happy, in good mood to talk since the first moment they awake. Giving thanks of being alive and facing reality with strength and courage undar any circunstance.
I admire these persons, my wife Cuca is one of them, and always I wanted to be like them, to have this will from the first moment of the day.
Gift of life and optimism of living just the moment without thinking anything about, feeling that being alive it is the best gift a human could have.

Now that I am depressed it is even worst, mornings are the hard hour of the day. I want to remain in bed, one two three hours, or more. It is the feeling of not wishing to live a new day.
I would like to be like people, like Cuca, that every morning think "Thanks to God" I am alive and I want to conquer the world, things are as they are and no one can change them once occurred.
We can do a better world with our mind, despite our weakness or missing our loved ones, knowing that life is a daily struggle and that it depends only of us, only from oneself doing happy every day of our life.
Just live in the moment without thinking about future and nothing more.

A big smile in the mornings, giving thanks to be alive and being in good humor to
say "good morning" my dear how are you?. Have you sleep well?....
That could be enough but use to be so difficult for some persons like me.

MIEDO E INCERTIDUMBRE

El miedo se mastica ya e irá a más.

Señores socialistas o de podemos, señor Sanchez, siga usted diciendo NO y al final en unas terceras elecciones la mayoria para gobernar caerá en las manos del señor Rajoy como fruta madura que cae del arbol.

Siempre el temor a favorecido a la derecha cuando no a la extrema derecha y ustedes llamados partidos de la izquierda so obstinan en no ver nada.

Me maravilla que se llamen políticos y tengan tan poca visión historica o política de lo que está ocurriendo en Europa y en el mundo entero.

Miedo, temor, cada vez mas y los partidos de derechas o los oportunistas de turno se aprovechan de ello.
Ya pasó en Alemania hace mas de setenta años y está pasando ahora, pasó en Italia, está pasando en Francia, en los paises del Norte de Europa, antes tan socialdomocratas y ahora tan escorados a la derecha, ha sucedido en el Reino Unido: Brexit y lo que nos queda por ver.

¿Acaso son ustedes ciegos?.

Sigan diciendo NO y el final en unas terceras elecciones aquí en España el PP. no necesitará de nadie para formar un Gobierno estable.

Es notorio que en la Edad Media o incluso antes cuando el pueblo sentía temor inmediatamente elevaba su mirada a Dios o se refugiaba en las enseñanzas de la Iglesia.
Ahora Dios no existe para una gran mayoria de gentes, la Iglesia ha perdido su poder de asustar, las dictaduras fomentan el temor entre su pueblo, y en las democracias tenemos los partido políticos.
Facil, ante el miedo a ser invadidos, los atentados, la incertidumbre las gentes giran hacia la derecha que son los representates de los antiguos poderes, Dios, la Iglesia, el Ejecito y resurgen movimientos incluso de extrema derecha por doquier.
Ya ocurre en Europa y es para echarse a temblar, no se que es peor el temor, la incertidumbre o el renacer de los extremismos de derechas. 

Dicho esto a mi ¿que me importa? puedo preguntarme, pues con los años que tenho no debiera inquietarme en absoluto, pero si me importa y en definitiva lo que deseo, como el resto de los que nos llamamos Españoles, es un Gobierno estable que mantengo los llamados principios tradicionales, la unidad de la Nación Española, y que reparta lo necesario para que no haya una explosión social.

Sinceramente creo que ni el señor Iglesias, ni el señor Sanchez, ni tan siquiera el señor Rivera son buenos jugadores de ajedrez e incluso dudo que les guste la historia por no decir la psicología.

El miedo guarda la viña, el miedo o la incertidumbre hace que "no gusten las aventuras políticas" y la gente en general se vuelve hacia la derecha.

Ayer paseando por mi Madrid, mi bella ciudad, entre en una tienda de recuerdos donde en teoria solo entran turistas.
Vi un pequeño mastil que sujetaba la Bandera Española, pregunté su precio y pensé que me lo llevaba.
La sorpresa fué cuando la vendedora me dijo que ahora multidud de madrileños, y españoles que antes nunca compraban la bandera, las están comprando. 
Vendo muchas me dijo, tantas como a los turistas, y esa circunstancia debiera hacer pensar a nuestros inútiles líderes políticos.

Si el psoe sigue en sus trece al final verá reducido su caudal de votos de forma escandalosa. 

Y no se enteran. 

Tiempo al tiempo, y si en Noviembre vuelve a ver elecciones atención a lo
que desde aquí anticipo, y no he consultado el Tarot.

Simple lógica, objetividad, e historia.

AUDENCIA PARA EL HORROR

Ninguna audencia por mi parte, estoy enterado del horror de Niza y si buscan publicidad, resonancia a sus horrorosos e inimaginables actos conmigo no la van a tener.
Hoy no contemplaré la tv., no deseo ver imágines del dolor, del sufrimiento, de la ignominia, del terror puro y duro que hiela la sangre.

El grado de perversidad supera todo lo que un ser humano de mi condición nunca pudo imaginar. 
Y si, el terror existe, se incrusta en nuestra mente de una forma pagajosa e inquietante.
Nos planteamos por temor incluso viajar, tomar el avión, y peor todavia ir a los paises que antes frecuentábamos dándoles riqueza, trabajo, razón para progresar. 

En Tunez, Egipto, Turquia, por no mencionar otros lugares en guerra declarada, su fuente de divisas está bajo mínimos. 
No nos atrevemos a ir allí, visitar su playas, descansar, admirar las bellezas del desierto. 
Contemplar su cultura, conocer la amabilidad de sus gentes. Y es vergonzoso aunque muy humano que el miedo, el peor de todos los sentimiento, guie nuestras acciones de ocio.
Los objetivos de esta gente perversa están siendo cumplidos, atemorizan a una sociedad que no entiende lo que está pasando y atemorizada deja de visitar donde antes iba.
Empobrecen paises enteros donde el paro crece, los hoteles se cierran y gentes normales, como nosotros, no encuentran el lugar de trabajo que antes tenían.

Me niego a participar, a ser espectador pasivo de unos actos que superan todo lo imaginable.
Crueles hasta límites antes nunca superados, y NO si de mi esperan audiencia a ellos será que no, no voy a contemplar el dolor de tanta gente masacrada en Niza, igual que ha sido en otros lugares de nuestro entorno.

Publicidad a sus terrorificos actos por mi parte ninguna pues hoy, mañana, pasado, cualquier día en que la tragedia se cebe otra vez sobre indefensos paseantes, turistas, familias, mi negativa a contemplar será permanente.

No deseo vivir sumido en el miedo, y se incrusta cuando contemplamos tantísimo dolor sin poder remediar nada.

Vaya mi pésame a todos las victimas y familiares de este horrendo suceso que la razón se niega a admitir.

Escudados en un supuesto anonimato la maldad absoluta aflora sin ningún escrupulo ético o moral.

Es increible que personas supuestamente "normales" que para mi no lo son en absoluto, lleguen a extremos tan repugnantes y malignos como calificar tan artera, dañina, repugnante y absolutamente cobarde a un hombre honesto muerto en la flor de su juventud haciendo lo que el, y muchos como el, consideran es su prefesión.

La lidia de los toros bravos surgió en España en el siglo XII y desde entonces se ha ido depurando, modificando, hasta llegar a lo que hoy representa para millones de aficionados.

Yo nunca he estado en una corrida de toros como tampoco he estado nunca en un partido de futbol, y siendo absolutamente dispares los dos eventos son espectáculos de masas.
No me gustan los toros, tampoco el futbol, pero respeto a quienes se dedican a ambos y les deseo que bajo ningún concepto sufran ningún tipo de daño.

Al toro como animal grandioso lo admiro, igual que admiro a otros animales bravos y salvajes que existen en la naturaleza.
Es seguro que el toro bravo se hubiera extinguido, igual que nos hemos cargado otros animales que antes poblaban este mundo, por la mano del hombre si no persistiera lo que llamamos fiesta taurina.
A el toro bravo le ha salvado su existencia las denostadas "corridas de toros", sobre esto no puede haber ninguna duda.

Opiniones sobre lo que representa la fiesta taurina son admisibles siempre y cuando sean emitidas de forma razonable y civilizada.
Ahora bien, alegrarse de la muerte de un hombre un torero muerto en la plaza cuando hacía lo que le gustaba y gustaba a miles de seguidores, me parece de una vileza y maldad que no tiene límites.

¿Pero que les han hecho a Vds. los toreros?.

Toda esta mala gente que ha utilizado los medios que internet facilita para insultar, alegrarse de la desgracia de una familia, del dolor de muchos, son para mi lo peor de lo peor.
Y si alguna pizca de razón hubiera para hacer crítica de la muerte de estos animales gloriosos que son los toros, ellos los ruines que han vilipendiado de esa forma a un torero muerto en la plaza, pierden todo argumento que deseen esgrimir.

Son gentuza vil y cobarde y como tales la ley debe caer sobre ellos.

Lo dice alguien a quien no le gustan los toros, nunca ve una corrida y desde luego siente pena cuando ve matar a un toro o a cualquier otro animal sea mediante caza o simplemente como alimento.

Debo añadir algo que siempre he pensado, nunca jamas en mi vida me atreveria a torear un animal de la envergadura y bravura que posee un toro de lidia, siento pavor solo de pensarlo y es por ello que en el fondo de mis sentimientos, aunque no me guste la fiesta, siento profunda admiración por el valor que ostenta esta casta tan española de toreros.

Los que los vilipendian, insultan con los peores improperios en cambio me parecen auténticos cobardes. ¿Acaso toda esta gentuza que así se manifiesta son todos vegetarianos?.

Yo sinceramente no lo creo, lo que si creo es que deben ser perseguidos por la ley.

Nights in Silence

The Wait

Far away of our yesterday world
So quite we see the passage of the days
Gathering enough time to your freedom 
I see the sunset that it shortens the time limit
Uncertain future we await without hurry

So, although these isolated prisoner we are
feel closer than ever we feel each other.


 

Nights in Silence

At night the desire to keep awake
So late ..What´s the reason to be up
Alone with myself I am
Quite at this hour I think


Asleep you are close to me
Early in the morning I am
Enough time to meditate in silence
but I feel little noises of the house

Your breath, the rain´s drops
a voice that far breaks the morning
So, without any witnessess
finally I take the pen and start to write

Love you so much my dear
than I don´t want to make any noise
Listening your breath I know your presence
that bright me every moment of my life.

EL ALZEIMER

Es lo que hace la sociedad en general, huimos ante el dolor ajeno, a nadie le gusta ver a un enfermo de Ela, Esclerosis Multiple, Alzheimer, o cualquier otra enfermedad neuronal para las que ahora no existe remedio alguno.

No se curan, progresan en su deterioro, y son sumamente desagradables de presenciar en cualquier ser humano, mas incluso en las personas que nos importan, en las que alguna vez amamos, aquellas que representaron algo importante en nuestras vidas.

Amigos, familiares, esposos, hijos, padres o hermanos.

Que hacer?, que decir? cuando uno se enfrenta ante estas personas debilitadas, vulnerables, deformadas por la enfermedad que sufren en silencio o tratan de poner buena cara y disimular cuando se les pregunta, como estás?, estás mejor?, y luego silencio.

No son plato de gusto para nadie y a veces menos para sus seres mas queridos que no pueden aguantar el dolor de verlos así, en ese estado de total decrepitud o incapacidad manifiesta.

Y no son solo sus cuidadores o acompañantes los que más sufren, que lo son, son otros seres más débiles que estos llamados "cuidadores" los que ponen tierra y distancia por medio ya que no pueden soportar la vista de una persona amada sufriendo de esta manera.

Tremenda enfermedad el ELA, a la vista ha quedado para todo aquel que resista el último video de la campaña "ALS Ice Bucker Challenge" cuando el muchacho de 26 años nos muestra a su madre siendo cuidada por el mismo victima ahora de idéntica enfermedad que ella.

Y lo dice el claramente, y es que cuando menciona a sus amigos o conocidos que le han diagnosticado ELA unos no conocen la enfermedad, o no saben de que habla, los que si la conocen se quedan sin saber que decirle, como darle consuelo, cambian de conversación y al poco desaparecen de su vista y le dejan solo.

La soledad que se origina para el enfermo o sus cuidadores puede resultar tan dura como el padecimiento en si.

A veces estos enfermos se ven privados de la visita de los seres mas queridos para ellos que siempre suelen estar muy ocupados o simplemente se ausentan de sus vidas sin saber las razones que puedan alegar para ello.

Y es simple "miedo ante el dolor de un ser querido", otras veces es simple desagrado que se convierte en indiferenciaauto compasiva.

No veo, no sufro, me protejo y al final olvido a quien nunca debiera olvidar.

Humanos y débiles después de todo.

Para mi, que soy un cuidador, es necesario concienciar a esta sociedad apática que esconde el dolor y la muerte, que SI, están ahí. 

Mejor hablemos de otra cosa, suele ser el común denominador, así no sufrimos o nos asustamos de la enfermedad y dolor ajeno.

ELA, Esclerosis, Alzheimer, Parkinson, Fibromialgia, Demencia, Artritis Reumatoide, y decenas de otras enfermedades incapacitantes que proliferan en nuestro mundo occidental, rico y aparentemente solidario, cuando en realidad no lo es.

Deja al llamado tercer mundo que se pudra en sus miserias, en sus enfermedades, en sus Ebolas, e incluso a sus propios enfermos les da la espalda o genera tratamientos de costes multimillonarios que muy pocos pueden sufragar.

Malo es todo esto, muy malo, pero a veces lo peor es la indiferencia, el silencio, la incomodidad o la huida.

Huida ante el dolor, miedo, incomodidad al ver a este joven de 26 años llorando ante su enfermedad y la de su madre, huida e incomodidad ante el dolor de nuestros seres queridos, ante la muerte, el sufrimiento, el suicidio.

Si no se menciona NO EXISTE.

No resistimos verles sufrir, es tan duro, por ello mejor no los vemos y los escondemos condenándoles al silencio y a nuestra indiferencia.

Mi esposa, enferma de M.E., trata siempre de brindar buena cara y optimismo cuando los amigos vienen a verla.

Y algunos fieles amigos vienen, siguen viniendo porque no tienen miedo ni rehuyen el dolor de los seres a los que aman.
