They say the world ends in a couple of days, but I don't think so. No, don't worry, the world won't end this Fridaybut if you can start a new one, a "Re-evolution", a peaceful change of which all fathers and mothers can be the protagonists.
As a historian and also specialized in the Middle Ages I have studied many millenarianism, a recurring phenomenon that responds to fears, desires and myths that are repeated several times each century. Millennials echo in groups that yearn for a change and often escape the problems of reality by sublimating or seeking transcendence, expected a Final Judgment or a Great Platonic Awakening. But not once have they been successful and this time nothing abnormal will happen either. Life is much more wonderful and complicated.
And with a little scientific rigor, as our companions of Xataka Science point out, all the threats of planets X, Mayan prophecies, reptilians, inhabitants of the Hollow Earth, photonic belts of the Pleiades, massive holes in the center of the Galaxy, The pernicious effects of the Great Collider and paralysis of the earth's rotation are clearly demonstrated as false. Quiet, what the world will not end on Friday. And reassure the children if it has occurred to someone to tell them any of this
However, although don't wait for the end of the world If I hope that this 2013 will offer you an opportunity for profound and radical change, a "Re-evolution" It is the desire that I ask the year that begins, to see the beginning of a true peaceful revolution, the upbringing revolution. And it is the change I encourage you to make.
A change that can really produce a transformation in the world, because growing up balanced and emotionally nourished, with the needs met, will allow our children to be more peaceful and happy adults.
It is inevitable to think that the world needs a change, something that allows people to relate to each other without violence, to progress without predation, to distribute wealth so that no one suffers intolerable penalties.
In summary, at the end of the year we all want something and the desire for a more just and peaceful world, loving and free, in which wealth is distributed equitably and in which no one fears for their rights. It is something that we treasure as an entire dream, although we think it is impossible.
But is not. The point is that every time human beings have tried to overthrow those who the powerful who oppressed with injustice and voracity to the weakest have done so through violence, with revolutions in which they armed themselves with running blood and heads.
And they spawned injustices, massacres and wars, because even when the rebellion was fair, it was done through violence. Moreover, the balance between rulers and governed, powerful and oppressed rarely changed in the end. There was still violence and people subjected to injustice.
We are living hard times. But the way to change things cannot be violent, nor should it be born from the impulses of aggressiveness.
The proposal I make for the next world is that we change the way in which people relate by educating our children in another way: without abuse, respecting their needs and processes, receiving them with love and respecting them to teach them respect, encouraging cooperation and not competitiveness, without raising the hand or shout, or humiliate, punish or use insults or labels.
People educated without violence will hardly go to it to solve their problems and create wealth cooperatively, so that we can all progress and share a better life. The world will not end, but with this re-evolution, we can build a new world. Do you join the Re-evolution?
