"Of a few words and a lot of feelings. If I had to choose between several options to describe the best of us as humanity, I would choose affection. The extraordinary thing about this feeling is that it needs no explanation. It should be on par with the air we breathe in the hierarchy of basic needs.
I think it is very appropriate at this time to make an effort to understand that what we are witnessing historically is not very different from understanding that many of the stars that we see at night have already disappeared for a long time, but we can only see them because the light after thousands of years has made them present. The future of humanity is already here and what we “see” is what is already gone…
I have come to the conclusion that kindness, good treatment, softness and perseverance are the most suitable elements for internal growth when we see it from the perspective of that appropriate environment. And this is something intentional, it is something that does not spring from the naturalness of the environment. It is something created, re-created and needs to be maintained by everyone and all those people who value the environment in which human relationships and all internal growth arise. Perhaps, it is the best effort we can make for ourselves and humanity."

The end of the world and other stories
EXCERPT
"That morning, Berta knew that the end was drawing near and that this was the last week of the month that she would write. And then, nothing... She would never need to write again because her mission ended when the indicators appeared that morning in an imperceptible way to the rest and extremely obvious to those as dedicated as Berta to observing and who had been doing it for so many years."

The lookout
EXCERPT
"It all began when Joseph discovered how to time travel. Attempts had begun centuries ago but the technology was not even to the point where a trip into the past or the future was feasible. Nevertheless, progress had been extraordinary lately and he could glimpse the first incursions in time. The challenge was to create a way back to the past without distorting it because according to theoretical knowledge, such a situation would lead to unpredictable consequences for the present and future. Actually for the past, present and future."
