Santiago López Petit: How to stop being victims of waiting

"We are waiting. Day and night. Events follow one after the other, and we swallow them with little protest. The Covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the genocide in Palestine, natural disasters ravaging the Earth… We swallow everything they throw at us, unable to vomit, chained to a powerlessness we can’t shake off. The possible distracts for a few moments and, in the end, it always suffocates. The impossible is nothing more than this despotic reality that, little by little, has imposed itself. We are waiting. We place an absurd hope in a final collapse. We sink into a night tinged with melancholy. The world has closed in on itself, and we tenants of the house know each other very well. The neo-fascist puppets have closed the exit door, as they rush to divide the earth into zones of influence."
