This post is to let off some steam, these have been difficult days, it is a bit sad to see how nowadays people don't keep their words. You may say that if you are a lawyer you know that everything must be in writing, no, not necessarily, although there are solemn contracts that must comply with certain formalities for their validity, there are contracts that do not merit it and today I am not only talking about the legal world, I am talking about keeping the word in all aspects of life. If you said you were going to arrive at a certain time, do it, if you said you were going to deliver a job at a certain time, do it or say that you will not be able to do it, but don't lie, sometimes it is not even lying, it is misrepresenting situations. I suppose this is associated with the lack of values of the society in which I live, but I don't understand how this kind of people can sleep at night, or on the contrary I think this because I have certain values?

I have also been questioning lately the fact of being "good", maybe the social convention nowadays is not to have a word and by keeping your word you are completely wrong, because everyone expects the worst from people. But no, I don't think that's the right thing to do. Both morally and religiously, even if we are talking about karma, it is best to stick to the truth.
I like to believe that the best way to live is as the Romans did with these three principles: Live honestly, do no harm to others and give to each his due. If you analyse them well, you will realise that they are applicable to any religion or are applicable to a secular life.

What is your opinion? Should we be like Hobbes and think that "Man is a wolf to man" and always expect the worst if we have no means of coerciveness and/or coercion to quell it? Or that we should keep faith in humanity because there are more of us good guys?

Here are some pictures of a dandelion I came across a few days ago on my way to work, thank you for coming here, I hope you enjoyed reading it.

Este post es para desahogarme, han sido dias dificiles, es un poco triste ver como hoy dia la palabra carece de valor. Ustedes diran pero si eres abogado sabes que todo debe constar por escrito, no, no necesariamente, a pesar de que si hay contratos solemnes que deben cumplir con ciertas formalidades para su validez, hay contratos que no lo ameritan y hoy no solo estoy hablando del mundo juridico, hablo de mantener la palabra en todos los aspectos de la vida. Si dijiste que ibas a llegar a determinada hora hazlo, si dijiste que ibas a entregar un trabajo en determinado momento hazlo o di que no podras cumplirlo pero no mientas, a veces incluso no es mentir es tergiversar situaciones. Supongo que esto viene asociado a la falta de valores de la sociedad en la que vivo, pero no entiendo como esta clase de personas pueden dormir en las noches, o por el contrario yo pienso esto porque tengo determinados valores?
También me he cuestionado últimamente el hecho de ser "bueno", tal vez el convencionalismo social hoy dia sea no tener palabra y al mantener tu palabra estas completamente errado, pues todos esperan lo peor de las personas. Pero no, creo que eso no es lo correcto. Tanto moral como religiosamente incluso si de karma hablamos lo mejor es apegarse a la verdad.
Me gusta creer que la mejor forma de vivir es como lo hacían los romanos con estos tres principios: Vivir honestamente, no dañar al otro y dar a cada quien lo que le corresponde. Si los analizas bien, te darás cuenta que son aplicables a cualquier religión o son aplicables a una vida laica.
Que opinión tienen ustedes? Debemos ser como Hobbes y pensar que "El hombre es un lobo del hombre" y siempre esperar lo peor si no tenemos medios de coercibilidad y/o coactividad que lo aplaquen? O que debemos mantener la fe en la humanidad porque los buenos somos mas?
Aqui hay unas fotos de un diente de leon que me encontré hace algunos días cuando iba saliendo al trabajo, gracias por llegar hasta aquí, espero hayas disfrutado leyendo.
