Indifference: The cold that kills

Let’s wake up. Sleep, as a positive expression of rest, is good, it is health. As a rapture for the soul and the spirit clouds any ability to thinkof reasoning and action, is worse than an evil drug.

It’s deadly. A dream that stuns reasoning castrates everything possibility of initiative and creativity. A dangerous cloak is that kind of dream.

I don’t mean sleep in the sense of sleeping after a working day, because the body just needs rest and in such sleep we find well-being and peace. They say that when we sleep we die. Maybe that’s true, but it’s a wonderful dream that brings us back to life new energy and new hope.

Sleep, as a synonym for lethargy, I repeat, is dangerous. This sleep, lethargy, leads the souls of ua a rock of frustration and conformity. Dangerous drowsiness of the soul. Banish all sleepiness the ghost. It’s like we died with her.

Every day we are immersed in a stormy wave of situations and events that already seem, as I notice, indifferent to the high part of Panamanian society, and when this happens there are not a few who accept it as just another problem or as a simple fact that happened and that when the next day comes, this one will remain, as it usually does, in the recent past.

And that’s the problem. We behave like citizens drugged by something or someone. Embedded in their own world, networks and media engulf us and absorb, if not all, a large part of our time. Any sleepiness is lethargy that kills. Kill action. Destroy each verb as soon as the verb means movement, action, activity. Drowsiness, as sleepiness is also called, is not hot, it is cold, icy. It freezes the senses of being numb as a result of indifference and coldness.

The poisonous air we breathe in this city; contaminated water we drink; the useless streets we travel; the food we eat that is genetically adulterated; etc. are all affected by questionable origin or composition.

However, nothing we don’t do or say anything. Everything is accepted. They tricked us.

Diseases have skyrocketed, the needs of our people have increased manifold, and the coldness and concern for others multiplied. As if nothing matters to us anymore.

Bad, very bad. You need to wake up. Shake us out of all the numbness of the senses. to act. Get up. To protest. To speak, to judge, to criticize what is inappropriate, yesto stop everything that is not in accordance with true reason or the natural order of things.

We cannot accept the bad as good, nor as bad. Good. They articulate a discourse of lies, argumentative delusions, We must defend them with the powerful weapon that God has left us: His Word. That’s why I can’t stop praying and asking, always, for God to bless the land! And even less do I spare the opportunity to support everything in accordance with the Instructions for Life: the Bible.

I insist. Let’s get out of the numbness, out of everything that takes away our right to a dignified life. We speak on behalf of the innocent and helpless.

We hope that the bar union can understand that it is not only about cases in court, but that people also deserve to address their main cause: the need to have their social demands fully met and I believe that, as legal scholarswe are called to be interlocutors of that speech with solid arguments.

In the middle direct speech presented to us, the voters, Be wary of those who, in order to gain your support or sympathy, will tell you that they will bring heaven and heaven to this earth. God save us from such charlatans. Cogito, ergo sum (I think, therefore I am – Descartes). God bless the country!
