How is the world saved? Perhaps it is one of the most common and difficult questions to answer, first because the world is pretty fucked up, because it has a few billion tenants living badly, thousands more trampled underfoot by those tenants, once I heard someone say that they didn't need a better world, they needed better people for this world, I'm not one of those tragic fatalistic exaggerations, I'm just saying that with all that in these centuries of world order full of religion, monarchies, fanaticism and all that bullshit that is invented to dominate or control the world, one wonders..! How far will we be able to get? The truth is that we always take the Nazi holocaust as a reference, but if we count all the dead of the crusades, the Inquisition, the African slaves who died on their journey to the new world, the natives of this continent. And I don't mean that I don't condemn the holocaust...! I mean, sometimes those who talk about freedom and justice don't have enough morale.
In short, all we can do is dream of a world where life is respected and equality is the order of the day and all those straws that have been heard for a long time or really start to seriously build education in schools, where it is more important to teach children values and principles than mathematics, I do not take away value from mathematics just give more value to the other. Well, without that, we can see how the world is, a lot of science and no feeling...! In schools, most parents and guardians fight because the teacher didn't arrive on time or because he left early, but many worry about the content of the teachings. It's a good thing there are hardly any schools for priests anymore, so we'll have fewer paedophiles, with the paedophiles' forgiveness...!
I think that the first book a child should read is the little prince, after that it will be easier, I think that doing a play is much more educational than opening a poor toad that didn't hurt anyone, I think it will be better for the child and the toad. If all of our children at the end of primary school come out with a high level of culture and supported by principles and values, I am absolutely certain that the problems of crime and other things would not be at the level they are at.
Artists are often linked to drugs, depression, madness, eccentricity and a thousand other things, but if someone is capable of having a creative conscience and is therefore someone sensitive, look at the horror we have had in the world for quite some time, The most logical thing is that you want to move away from many things in some way, it is true that you must fight to change the reality but it must be a job for everyone, shoulder to shoulder and continue until never again stop.
When we see artists or creators as I prefer to call them present on the big stages receiving fifty thousand applause I am sure that it must feel very good to be in that place, both on stage and in the audience and many people can say this will change the world, it is true that rock was the music that changed the world, but it was only to that part of the world that I heard and understood it. But what about the no less important ones, those who will never be on the big stages but who every day teach a few to be better citizens of this world, for me they are the famous ones and every day they are in that necessary dance of life that some call song, expressed in different ways of the arts but which is equally vital to feed.
A true creator, regardless of his or her position or hierarchy in art, so to speak, should showcase his or her talent on large or small stages and devote a part of his or her life to teaching as well, because it is said that one finishes learning when one teaches and also connects with what our Achilles called the creative power, let us not think that art is only for the artists or let us all become artists and save the world, man and the future of those who will come from our entrails.
