Ausencia de justicia = Negligencia Mental

La gente se queja sobre la supuesta inexistencia de la justicia, pero jamas se han preguntado a si mismos que es la justicia, de hecho aun tienen su concepto adquirido en la niñez: "Aquello que hace feliz a todos¨. Si todos deciden que la muerte de uno equivale a la felicidad ¿Es justicia?

Las mayorías no tienen que ser necesariamente tontas, aqui viene mi concepto de justicia, en el cual lo que predomina es el uso de la logica en las decisiones, no solo del voto sino del objetivismo.

Cuando se piensa de forma objetiva se llega a conclusiones menos apresuradas, de esta forma se asegura la decision optima a alguna problematica, si se considera esto entonces, la humanidad podrá finalmente pensar con objetividad y con ello, el bien común para todos los que habitamos el planeta no sera un pensamiento inalcanzable.

Por eso digo que las verdaderas injusticias vienen de mentes cerradas, que no piensan en soluciones mesuradas para sus problemas, no solo de los despotas.

Para tener verdadera justicia hay que pensar, nada mas ya que la injusticia es idiotez, negligencia mental, pereza al momento de razonar y decidir.

Para concluir solo dire que para ser justo debes ser objetivo, nada mas no hay mas secreto.

Cerro Blanco, Wilderness Near You

I might not be a great fan of that place, but there is something worth to say about it. The fact that it houses a staggering amount of flora and fauna, gives it a great place on my mind on the selfless and noble department.

It really is a macro version of the compost and potato project, the fact that it is filled with all the necessary components for the well being of the beings that live in it, is proof that we humans can be able of incredible acts of kindness and thoughtfulness.

Try to imagine another place similar to that one, within the limits of Guayaquil I dare you, I double dare you people, you wont be able to, stuff like things only happen rarely and despite my lack of affinity with that area Im absolutely thankful of its existence, because it proves to those pessimists that mankind still has some good in it.

Cerro Blanco, Chapter 8, Not again please!


When I was nothing but a kid, my school loved taking us to a certain place, a blessed haven filled with life and brimming with an air so fresh that it puts any other place to shame.

This is Cerro Blanco, a reserve that i have visited over and over, that school loved loved it so much that they decided that most field trips had to be there, thats when the magic faded.

When I graduated, one of the things that made me glad, was that I would never have to go back to that dam hill again, suddenly life decides to troll me and bam, back at that trail, Im sure of one thing, my classmates fully enjoyed going there, but for me it was just a rerun, its a nice place and all but it really stops amazing me, there is nothing impressive there that I havent seen, and I really hope this is the last time I go there.

Dont get me wrong, is not like I hate it or anything, its just that is not a new and unbelieveable experience for me, the place is great to look at I give you that.

Id like to thank my awesome classmates Adriana Piovesan and Adriana Cedeño for helping me out, enduring this tedious and green place with your well timed jokes and puns, also the pictures you provided, they look pretty cool as well.

Its not like I loathe nature or anything, its just that this place is so old to me that instead of evoking nostalgic feelings it just reminds me of boring walks and endless chit chat about trees, it was still a very eye opening experience, I learned that this place in all its glorious boringness, houses precious life and thats a good reason for keeping it behind a wall.


Good times with pros


Im the most minuscule unit of knowledge compared to these people, seriously I cant really believe how lucky I was to actually get to teach them something.

There was a wonderful feeling when it was over, the feeling that I still loved learning, my mission was to teach them something and the one who ended up learning the most was myself.

Sure there wasnt a lot of bonding involved, I didnt got to know them that well, but the few things that were able to get through this thick skull of mine were invaluable for my growth as a dude, as a person, as a human freaking being.

First is, my lack of patience Im a dam volcano madder than Godzilla and Darth Vader combined, I have to work on that, no one can walk through life twitching like a maniac looking like a disgruntled tennis player, and thats not the image i want to proyect, im not even a very decent person, but mentaly unstable is not a thought I have of myself.

Second is my lack of discipline, I was there on time and proceeded to act like a profesional, but I couldnt time anything well and got to stutter a bit, training myself like I was the dude from Full Metal Jacket will surely help me out, I wanna look sharp and disciplined but heck, most of the time I spent in basic education, was used in being a mess and that reflected on my jovial and unprofessional way of speaking.

Third is my tendency to never finish things, I did ended this course and felt thrilled when it was over, because finally i finished something in my life, that feeling of realization and success was something I kept missing all the time. Getting more things to full completion will be one of my goals as well.

Finally, id like to thank all the awesome grannies that put up with my classes, they showed saintly patience all the time, and taught me more about myself than any other younger person could possibly do, thank you all you freaking rock!


Waste is only transient

Yeah I wish this was my compost as well, mine got thrown away but thats not the point, Im here to ponder about the purpose about making compost not to whine about the fate of my now forgotten chunk of organic waste.

Maybe it is because its something we tend to overlook, I didnt even knew compost existed before this class and it has been right in fron to four noses all this time.

Or simply because it is easy and beneficial for all of us, is not even a real effort to do compost and by doing it, we are not only saving our organic waste, we are getting free rich grade A soil. Its not like making compost costs anything, it is the perfect product, it is free as hell, man I suppose even a hobo can make a living selling compost.

I believe the main reason is to teach us a lesson, about how things change, this soggy and decaying materials can transform into something fresh and nurturing, we just ignore this fact, and something this great should be known to everyone, not just us that we are priviliged with a good education.

You can always make a good thing from a bad thing, even waste. Thats the whole idea behind this exercise, it just feels right saying it this way.

The meaning behind the potato


So why bother to plant one of these things at all? They wont be much of use until you decide to eat it. And that will surely take a lot of time, hell it can be months.

Who knows when? Thats the point caring after something for the sake of doing it is one of the things that makes humanity awesome.

We are used to take care of pets, those cute little pals will even show you a small hint of gratitude, but is not the same with plants, they are not funny or playful, they just stay there.

Thats why we started this proyect, tending life, nourishing it without seeking retributions is a noble thing, its not like the potato is gonna thank me, but now I know that taking care of another living being feels better when you do not expect something in change.

Cycle of Acorvol completed

Now heres me eating some breakfast with some of the head honchos in the area of non profit organizations, some of them were not though, there were also other people who went to this organization to help with their vastly superior knowledge (superior to mine).

Seriously these people know a lot, they make me feel like a complete fool, most of them have been doing this for over 20 years and Im just 21, while i was soiling my diaper they were assisting some helpless child like myself at that time, through some really horrible hardships.


Strangely enough it was pretty easy talking to them , easy going people and very cool too, some of them seems devoted in this, and the food was great too.

I forgot to mention, this breakfast was to thank all those who helped Acorvol during the course of the year, I was the youngest thus my appereance sticks out as a sore thumb.

Now is the time to add, that I absolutely loathe and hate having pictures taken of me, but I like them, call it double standard but thats the way it is!

I have sworn in getting them young people, for their new lineup good thing christian friends are always there to help me out. Thats how I thank them for putting up with me and my volatile ways, thank you Acorvol you guys rule!
