When you real­ly think you are useful.

This is the four­teenth in a series of posts reflec­ting on the impor­tance of our actions and what we do to contri­bute to some­thing, and ideal­ly, some­thing grea­ter. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

So, who are the bur­dens? Serious­ly, did you know that in ancient times, and not so far back in our his­to­ry, the sur­plus of people was some­times addres­sed through sla­ve­ry? For thou­sands of years, humans have seen in their fel­low human beings a way of mee­ting their needs in order to take the place that we occu­py. Today, we could say that we’re in a kind of world where we are all the mas­ter and slave of ano­ther at some point.

This imper­fect rea­li­ty has crea­ted cate­go­ries in our socie­ty. But before I conti­nue, I would like to make an impor­tant cla­ri­fi­ca­tion. In all of my reflec­tions, and unlike Gene­ra­tion Z, I use ephe­me­ral labels. If I say that there are this and that, good guys and bad guys, for example, it shouldn’t be unders­tood that these are per­ma­nent and ines­ca­pable labels. Some­times I am the bad guy or the good guy in this or that situa­tion. What is most impor­tant is to know the cha­rac­te­ris­tics of this cate­go­ri­za­tion and to be able to make an infor­med choice. Yes, some­times I am a pol­lu­ter, but kno­wing that I have the pos­si­bi­li­ty to make a choice in a given situa­tion allows me to be a pol­lu­ter, a lazy per­son or a bad per­son less often.
