About the political truce

The The word truce generally meanscessation of hostilities between parties in the midst of armed conflict. Historically speaking, is the tool that has enabled civilization to stop walking on the burning coals of hatred and disputes, and continue its inexorable march forward. Without recourse to such a strategy, nations in conflict would inevitably end up extinct the suicide of humanity.

A truce is sometimes similar to a bucket of ice water thrown at dogs that tear each other apart in the heat of battle. The conflict ends, they lick their wounds and continue with their pet lives, burying their natural predatory and pack tendencies deep. Our flag is a material sample of this type of agreements and arrangements that have cohesion goals time of destructionthat look to the future and cover the past.

We are in the midst of having to resort to a political truce, in which parts of their war material may not have to be disassembled, but they must be freed from personal hatred and anger, which seem to come sealed and shipped. You have to call national agreementbecause it is the will of the many, on the personal conflicts of the few who, unfortunately, have taken control of the destinies of the nation, which is why in their wave of quarrels they drag the whole our society.

Some media have become a lucrative industry meat processing slander; and regardless, there is a pack of communicators who sell themselves to the highest bidder, as if they were mercenaries with no label to hold them accountable, ready to destroy through the networks anyone who falls victim to a smear campaign. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the very source of the problem, which is nothing more than a long chain of personal conflicts, which has become intertwined in the life and destiny of every Panamanian.

Many cynics, of those who flood and breed below today anonymity on social networks, they believe that the path of no return is violence, penance, “fraternal repair”, but in this nation of ours we will have to ask ourselves first: “he who is without sin, let him cast the first stone”. And that cannot be done by a voter or a chosen one; the ruler and the ruled; victim or perpetrator. In a scenario like this, where the fiber of lived reality is irreparably united, there is no room for severing remedies. Those voices, allegedly critical of our system and our society, which is filled with impeccable morality and who call out the corruption, meanness and lack of conscience of the electorate, look at things from a crystal and velvety perspective, because they are not aware of the basic reality of the people in which they live, but which they do not understand and even reject.

The lapidary and epic phrase that “if they have no water, let them look for it in the river” does not demonstrate boundless cruelty, but the deepest well of ignorance that many suffer about the reality of the earth. It makes us rethink things. Perhaps there is no need to learn, because the very source of that learning is already contaminated, like the poisoned fruit theory, which connects what is consumed with the very roots of the plant. Maybe we should unlearn, and every classroom, every one citizens’ association, every political party and every home should become a center of awareness, so that it is taught what the golden rule that tells us “do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you” really means. It seems to me that this rule failed and that he should have added the following admonition: “Do not do evil to another that you do not want him to suffer, because even bad deeds are subject to laws of gravity and always return to their author“.
