We are developing, but we are not unwinding.

Since I can remember, we talk about countries that are in the process of development, rather than on the way, they must be in a gap or very bad dirt roads, because you can’t see them developing, you can’t see them advancing, growing.

When it was said that a boy or girl had reached development, or were in development, it was because suddenly they gave themselves a stretch, and one day you saw the little boy with a big head and a few days later you see him turned into a skinny, long, tall boy. with stilt pants because his legs grew, but not his pants, and something similar is seen in girls. That is development, but nothing similar is seen in those countries that have been developing for decades and more decades, but they do not grow by shouting or blowing hats.

I would say that they should leave it for peace and stay on the roads, because because they want to be a developed country and leave the third or second world to fight the first, they make sacrifices that are almost always human sacrifices. Yes, seeking industrial development forgets human development, which is the first thing to be sought, the other will come in addition.

It is important that boys develop physically, but more important is that they develop internally, that they grow in size, but more so that they grow in moral and spiritual values. Thus, first-world development and material, industrial, and technological progress will be of little or no use to countries if there is no growth, spiritual development, or moral values ​​of their people, all of them.

Those who put the idea in our heads that we must develop and progress are the large transnational companies that impose their will on the entire world and that make us work and work all day and every day, assuring us that one day we will be rich and We will have all the things that they make us believe we need to be happy… Don’t let them tell you or tell you. Just as being tall does not guarantee being happier than being short, being an economically developed country does not guarantee happiness for its inhabitants. Do you understand me, Méndez, or can I explain to you, Federico?

Health and greetings
