The lowest passions have arisen from certain politics in Ecuador. This is how they consolidate what they are: a criminal organization. In other words, they stripped from head to toe without the cheap shame they once masked themselves in, and I’m sure not all of their guts are exposed yet, so we have to be very careful.

Like infected ivy, they have become entangled everywhere: courts, prosecutions, police, ministries, private companies, money laundering, etc. Well, like almost all fraudulent politicians, they are sometimes likable socially, but in the end they are just a poisoned ambition that now more than ever fiercely eradicates citizens’ hope for the state.

However, in the midst of this sociopolitical disillusionment we are experiencing, I want to share a view that delicately embellishes the panorama. Luck or lesson, whatever it was, I was able to witness up close the calling and love with which some women serve.

How hopeful it was to follow a woman, she is an artist, to walk a few kilometers along the beach, Ella, prepared with water, also accompanied by her pets and a bag in hand to collect the garbage and plastic that damages Creation so much, leaving her mark of true love in the sand . He can do this cleaning while discussing other topics and enjoying the scenery. It’s that simple and sobering!

A few days ago I happened to be close to someone who, since he can do anything else to increase his company or numbers, is in charge of collecting abandoned animals, dogs and cats, sometimes due to the indifference of their owners, sometimes due to serious diseases. It’s not just about the chain of experts, veterinarians and trainers that he puts at the foot of these living creatures who have no voice, it’s about the love he shows in every act, it’s clearly visible in the search for a cure. , in the call for these little animals to be adopted, when he learns that they can walk, even when he receives the news that one did not get over the disease and died.

Women who try to live according to the direction their heart sets, which makes them freer and happier.

I have known them for several years, however, this instant closeness allowed me to receive a bath of hope. Women, invisible or not, who serve others quietly and full of hope. Women who have not created a ‘character’ that one day consumes who they really are, as we have seen in some cases. Here I am thinking of women who no longer have – nor want – to prove anything to anyone, regardless of their social or economic status or profession, they simply experience human fulfillment by giving themselves to a goal unbound by public applause. They want to serve a mission, not power.

Life gave me these days to see them more closely. Women who make the ordinary extraordinary. His existence is a balm, a gift full of hope. Women who try to live according to the direction their heart sets, which makes them freer and happier.

Thank them. Well, yes, Marcela, Liliana, Bethsaida, Cecilia, Larissa, Gabriela, and certainly more women who are close to you, in this era of the earth, are the salt of the earth that illuminates with fertility the night created by the perversity we know is names. (OR)
