Chapter 6: ApaReCe PePiTo GriLlo

When Savater talks about the different kinds of “imbeciles”, I realize that in my everyday life I happen to act as some of them!!! For example, I am sometimes so scary about the freedom I have that I refuse to make my own choices and decide what route to take; or I just see what is happening and I don’t do anything to change it or to avoid it because the fear do not let me to do so. I know that I can change that if I would like to.
Another thing that I consider important to name is "remorse". It is so powerful that can make a person to feel upset, uncomfortable and unhappy with oneself when one feels that he/she did something wrong. It would be great if many of us had it (especially politicians).


Chapter 5: ¡DesPieRtA, BaBy!

The only thing that I can say is that when we treat others as things, we should put on their shoes and think just for a second if we would like to be treated like that; what they would feel in that situation. We shouldn’t behave towards others in the way we know we wouldn’t like to be treated: the Golden Rule.
