The natural impulse of protest

Today, before measures of a government rejected by the population, protests in France they escalated massively and spontaneously; they have no age, leadership or name. They are the orphans of individual leadership. Gray hairs of old age and collagen of youth have gathered in streets of Paris for an issue that could ultimately affect everyone. This solidarity, framed only by common goals, legitimizes protests, giving them a valid reason.

These people are of Gaelic origin, and the congregation of races has not yet succeeded in softening theirs a natural rebellion, as if they were latitudes and longitudes those countries have already been magnetized by a natural impulse to civil disobedience. From time immemorial, they fought internal battles between their small clans, rose up in riots against the Roman invasion, rebelled against neighbors who occupied it by force, waged a 100-year war against The English Empire and its resistances were legendary during the last world wars. The burning chill of terror must undoubtedly grip each of the rulers of that country every time they evoke the historical episode of the guillotine and the Bastille.

If the infant, a few days after birth, indignantly refuses food, perhaps because the mother has gorged herself on some intoxicating food, it will turn outwards in a natural impulse of protest, and will do so in the shortest possible time. primary and primitive; if the child feels that the punishment meted out to him by his parents exceeds the level of his mischief, that natural tide of protest against what was considered wrong will rise within him. If the price of drugs that the elderly consume en masse increases, they take out their canes and shout protest words chewed many times with a sheet.

What should be avoided is its suppression instead understand it, or imprison it in dykes of useless legislation who consider it a mere social rebellion. Part of people’s sobriety and health is given through this clear recognition a natural call to protestwhich cannot be given to anyone because he already carries it with him into the world.

It is not, therefore, about suppressing these natural impulses by means of authoritarian force, but about knowing them and managing them wisely, always keeping in mind that where you do not know Man rules himself, he always comes to rule. The protest impulse is like that as natural as freedom of expression, for which there would be no prior restriction without authoritarian abuse. Companies must, therefore, recognize that it is better to slowly and gently decompress the unstoppable force of protest that resides in each of the collaborators and that, collectively, can become a tidal wave. unchecked against any visible authority. In this way, by allowing and encouraging healthy protest through any kind of social outlet, it will never turn into violence, but will be a good counterbalance in the contractual balance in which both dose power.
