Sheep Syndrome Mestiza
For many years I have been visiting my country, to know and give a sense to my life, and in that journey I have felt the idiosyncrasies of the different peoples of the people. As they behave. And it has helped me to conceive and have an idea of how they think and what their true worldview. At the bustle I have found that the more the resistance of a people to the invasion of the West and alienating most tenacious resistance. The values that politicians talk so much about education, they remain more intact in the community or people.
When you are losing the values and the culture, customs and even the form of social organization, the community loses its horizon and begins to act like a Westerner and installed greed as the main element of social improvement, not in your community, if not at the entrance to Western society. But this does not mean that when they enter Westernized advances of science, on the contrary, when they enter the values of Western society is when the community loses its identity and get another identity that is not yours and even adopt their poses and ideological concepts and philosophy of life. In adopting the philosophy that you do to justify the loss of values that he held before when your community was in use in some communities due to the problems raised by the influx of western pathology, makes use of the two paradigms of life, but only to justify their mistakes and their mistakes, as well as to hide behind its lack of commitment in both paradigms. Apparently it does to survive, but not, if you have the image of the West as well and that will allow you to move up in a Creole nation where the western paradigm and its economic and political system can not be changed and you have to accept it or not if you do not enter income and are invisible to the rest.
Then we wonder why this spiritual condition? We believe that the mestizo, has a fear of invisibility. For the Indians, are invisible to all the Creole society, never participate in major decisions, even where they are concerned their own territory, and if they make their own decision are none, for it even have an army composed by Indians themselves who attack their own brothers, but who have also lost their status and identity of indigenous people. In losing their indigenous identity, lose your relationship with your brothers and see them as enemies, to make it support the arguments of White or Creole. Also contributes to this religion, as an alienating, that allows you to plot to enslave the other.
With this we can put two cases of community relations and behavior that have allowed us to draw conclusions and the basis for taking these short hypothesis: The first is my last year stay in the community of Mollepata, where little by little same community was integrating and accepting me. Chosen as one more of their community. The activities were made communally and was always taken into account for all of them and did not attend. Such is the case of the communal dining room where food is prepared throughout the community, which was almost an almost symbolic contribution, because as I was sowing and had no plot, they mentioned that my contribution was symbolic, as the only Being in the community and teach their children was more than enough. Community by integrating within it gave me the task of advising on relationships with local native state, if if were developed around integration as a member of it. So much so that for example if I had to go, they made me to do various assignments in the capital of the province, one after making the assignments, they returned the courtesy I always inviting me to their homes, either as a picnic lunch or dinner in the evening, as well as keeping me in mind when they killed an animal, was the first to be considered to give me a piece of meat or sometimes roast in pan.
Also at night we met every night to talk with the community in long hours of talk, where they asked, but also related their experiences and communal stories. Needless to say at parties, had a unique respect, as they knew they would not take any kind of liquor to intoxicated knew respect my decision and I never demanded to participate. When I went to walk by your forest and you could see someone waving and greeting they answered with great courtesy. So much so that when he finished the year with a lot of nostalgia took leave of me, giving me a number of gifts, food and other items they make, such as the famous clay pots made me curious I gave a gift of pure clay pan , which I keep with all my love because I gave it the oldest of the settlers who still retains the art of their ancestors.
At the opposite turned out a year after my stay in Mollepata in an indigenous community called the Hospital, but hospitality has nothing. All you see the color of money and if a stranger arrives, believe it is a piggy bank to be exploited. As for my advanced state of health I can almost not walk, I have to use appropriate shoes, asked them to provide me with a mule to carry me, I nearly fell to the ground, when they told me the price, so choose to move to foot, walking almost three hours to reach a bus stop so we can move to the capital of the province, not staying there because the prices for my food are more expensive than in the capital of the department, almost comparable to the price charged for food in the capital of the republic. No member of the community does a disservice, if not payment for services you do. And the sleeping conditions are bad and weather are the gild the pill, but what stands out is that there in this community is religious sects where they have entered with force, destroying all traces of community and values indigenous peoples and this is one reason, to destroy the identity of the community, they have been able to install and plunder the wealth of our communities.
When the villagers have realized they can not respond to aggression, they can not answer, having lost their values and identity. Having all this is impossible for them to respond, because they have no valid arguments to enable them to cohere as a community.
