HELLO AGAIN, WORLD! Here you can see my Values

It has been a while, ha? I hope we don't lose touch again this much...

I think a good way to get in touch again, is via "putting on the table" my Values, the ones one writes in upper cases. Here we go (a nice pic from our last weekend's extremely meaningful and memorable trip should help 😉).



1) Generosity: Why be here if you are not willing to give others a better world or to help others to achieve that by themselves? Generosity is embedded into something as simple as a smile or caring comment to the office boy, but also into something as complex as Progracademy or as growing with my two Pichones and Polilla.

2) Rationality: Why not use the most powerful tool that evolution has given us, our rational brain, to be aware that we know very little, and to constantly try to reduce a little our ignorance and hence, make the world a better place? As Plato said: "Ignorance, the root and the stem of all evil." (Ignorance of Means and Ends).


3) Growth: a.k.a. Progress, Flourishing, Development. Why stop the growth that took us from the cradle to the dance floor or the mountain peaks? Cognitive, social, emotional learning of ourselves and our fellow humans should never stop. As Michelangelo said at age 87: "I am still learning"

4) Love: Would we want to be more generous, more rational, and to grow until our last breath if we wouldn't love -unconditionally- the present and future of our earth, our fellow humans, or ourselves?
