Why am I not expected to express my sadness?

As usual, I will start by the beginning of the story, though I will try to go straightforward to what I really want to say. This is a true conversation I had some weeks ago with a good person that I would like to share with you.

Some days ago, I was infected by the COVID-19 virus. My wife was infected, too. Therefore, both of us were infected. We suppose we were infected by this COVID-19 infection at some visit to the hospital due to some medical check some days before. We kept staying home those days, although this is not mandatory by the medical authorities anymore ... or at least from around 2023, at the end of the Pandemic, until today.

Verdadero Cristianismo

Voy a tratar de describir este problema teológico en términos sencillos, tal y como lo entiendo yo. Si bien, mi argumentación puede quedarse corta para los eruditos, como bien sabemos: “Dios se revela en lo pequeño, en lo sencillo”. Vamos a ello.

Desde hace algún tiempo me asalta la siguiente pregunta:

- ¿Por qué yo disfruto teniendo detalles con los demás y, en cambio, rara vez otras personas parecen querer tener detalles conmigo? ¿Es que muerdo?

Which was our blame? Personal testimonies of 11-M

On March 11, 2004, a series of terrorist attacks on commuter trains in Madrid changed the lives of thousands of people forever. The following is a compilation of representative and moving testimonies of that day, with special attention to the experiences of university students and the reflections of young people who were between 20 and 25 years old in 2004. Included are accounts from students who did not go to class that day (in many cases due to a university strike call in Madrid), testimonies from professors and academic staff, stories of people who were saved by chance, and generational reflections on the emotional, social, and political impact of 11-M. Each testimony is presented with its context (author, date, source) and a summary of its key points or salient quotes.

Comentarios sobre 'El existencialismo es un humanismo'

Jean-Paul Sartre
(1905-1980)

Jean-Paul Sartre (París, 1905 - 1980) fue un filósofo, escritor, novelista, dramaturgo, activista político, biógrafo y crítico literario, exponente del existencialismo y del marxismo humanista.

El texto que comento, 'El existencialismo es un humanismo', es un extracto de la conferencia que dio en Paris con el objetivo de defender el existencialismo de las críticas cristianas y comunistas. Consiste en un resumen conciso de las razones por las que el existencialismo es un humanismo. Sartre expone que en el caso de que Dios no exista se hace necesario que el hombre se construya a sí mismo. De este modo, para Sartre ni siquiera Dios puede decirnos qué debemos hacer con nuestra propia libertad, y nosotros nos hacemos los únicos responsables de nuestras decisiones.
