It's curious that, given the current state of the world, we talk specifically about instability when referring to the weather, as if the most variable things were the comings and goings of clouds or temperatures. Although if you think about it, it's possible that's true, because violence remains stable, so does cynicism, and our perplexity remains in a perpetual anticyclone even though the experts on duty try to explain to us the reason for the geopolitical situation or the future of AI. Just because things are explained doesn't mean they're understood or comprehensible. Therefore, in reality, and as good Catalans, it's much better to dedicate a good part of our news interest to the weather and hope that Meteocat never abandons us. May everything crash except the Internet. Radars The Catalan Meteorological Service, please. That's the closest thing we have to a state structure.

In reality, however, life is what's unstable. And it's not that I'm going to dedicate myself to cups now, although the phrase is worthy of one of these terrible prints. The instability of life is a bit hard for us to accept, and to help us, insurance companies were invented, reminding us that accidents happen and that you don't want to have one and have to claim the insurance, because every misfortune has a price. It's age that also reminds us of this, when we hear people say (and sometimes we hear ourselves say it) that before Everything was easier (I'm not saying better, as this is the heritage of the extremely nostalgic) or when you have lived long enough to know how to put the defeat of a football match into perspective or not go crazy with a victory (many people here still have jobs). Before Children gave their parents peace of mind when they had a stable partner, a stable job, and stable ideas. With so much stability, you felt like you had to live in a manger. Whoever escaped this family planning was that black sheep who had escaped the margins of the moss and was lost in visible instability. Like a cloud about to unload. The instability of the others, those who remained formally in the manger, was hidden in a social construction that a good part of the population still aspires to reach. But neither before Nor was there greater stability now. There was less freedom, which seems to be where the world wants to return to, to recover values ​​based on punishing dissent for the sake of maintaining order. And whoever says dissent also says poverty or empathy. Although this idea can also be refuted, because depending on who, where, and how, before There was more freedom to do and say certain things. Perhaps it would also be necessary to clarify thebefore, but that requires a lot of articles. Before.

The world is scary because retrograde and authoritarian thinking is beginning to take hold in too many places, ranging from proposing that women should have children again and stay at home to advocating the mass murder of children to realize the macabre fantasy of genocide. The world is scary because we don't know, and we didn't know either. beforeHow to stop the disaster before it befalls thousands and millions of people. We see the shadow stretching out, but we still have many moments of sunshine. We are guilty and we are innocent. The solution to maintaining peace is to increase global arms spending. We have grown accustomed to living in an oxymoron.
