If I understood well the story, without reading whole book yet, just recalling the old myth on which C.S. Lewis retells in his book, the quote itself is quite telling. Until we have faces. Encarar. Particularly, in unclear moments. So important to face oneself and so others to understand situations or just for clarity. Berkeley, […]

A word/post per day if needed
Berkeley, Thursday, April 23, 2020 1:31 AM I bought a screen. It has 22″. It is just enough. So here I am writing, while making it the main screen. Those are of course foolish irrelevant details. And I am getting a bit of headache, which is a very rare thing on me. It might be […]

La curiosidad mató al gato
Berkeley, Tuesday, April 21, 2020 4:15 PM Following up with the title, perhaps, it is true, but I am still keen to find time to learn more about Saint Albertus Magnus, the teacher of Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Renaissance
Berkeley, Sunday April 19, 2020 8:02 PM Unfortunately, I did not study liberal arts, but I guess fortunately I have been curious and paid attention to my life, myself, my surroundings, and others. And yet, while there are wonderful intellectuals, artists, scientists, leaders that have been able to capture the essences of life, of the […]
Good teachers and good students
Berkeley, Sunday April 19, 2020 5:55 PM The importance of the search of truth and the existence of good teachers, but being a good student plays a key point in that equation. Socrates taught Plato. Plato taught Aristotle. Aristotle taught Alexander. Albert Magnus taught Aquinas. Many contemporaneous 800 years after Aquinas still have him as […]
Lack of sense in trial against President Correa
Berkeley, Friday April 17, 2020 11:20 PM Rafael Correa was a great president in Ecuador from 2007 to 2017. I lived in Ecuador until September 2012, and then again from September 2014 to July 2016. Thus, I witnessed the stability that he provided to the country in the first term. Before him protests were frequent. […]
