Silo in Chaco, Argentina

Regarding the general situation

The general situation is one of great disorientation, and we don't see people (in general) looking for profound change. Instead, they want to solve their problems, they suffer and seek to solve their problems with something immediate (a few bucks, other things... but not with a profound change). A few others are "hopeless." So it looks like people are going back and forth between these two things: trying to solve their "personal problems"… and a certain "hopelessness."

In an immediate sense, we can't expect great changes in the social situation as a result of our own actions, nor can we expect them because people are seeking such changes. It is as if people were into "something else."

So when deep changes don't come about because people want them or because they are on that search, those changes will ensue through the "imperative of the circumstances."

About our actions

Our actions are based on the search for internal unity, on the strength and validity of their direction, and on doing what we like.  And because it's the best we can do.

That is the meaning and the direction of what we do and the reason we are doing it. We aren't putting the meaning in the results… not in the kind of search that expects immediate results.

Of course one confronts these actions with all possible impetus, with all possible force… not with the expectation of results, whose failure to come about would discourage us, but with the register of internal unity and because these actions have direction.

To do what each of us likes, giving it all possible impetus and force, seeking internal unity… that has great direction and great meaning.
