00:00were those seen in the worst times that were known as periods of colonization or conquests.
00:06These phenomena seem to be worsening, keeping humankind perpetually enslaved to the basest sentiments,
00:14avarice, greed, and the imposition of models by some on others.
00:21This is all causing us to stray further and further from the principles and values of equality and rights
00:27that, with sweat and tears, humanity and intelligence thought they had won.
00:33Disaster after disaster, we continue to sow war as the savage MO of imperialism and capitalism.
00:40They, too, are savage, barbaric, and fierce.
00:43And we're walking towards the extinction of all human beings.
00:47We are refusing to accept that only peace can triumph.
00:50That is true because peace is justice.
00:53Peace is peaceful coexistence.
00:55Peace is respectful cooperation.
00:58It is the furtherance of freedom, dignity, and the sovereignty of all peoples.
01:03Those philosophies, those principles will guarantee that we can live a life better than ever before.
01:09But today, peace stands before us as one of the most distant illusions.
01:14We're not on a journey to peace.
01:17And, incidentally, we're not acquainting ourselves with this just and lasting peace
01:23that could place us on a path towards a world of brotherhood, happiness, and solidarity.
01:28Every morning, in so many corners of our planet, we wake up to death and more death.
01:34We wake up to people being sacrificed on the bonfires of the insipid supposed superiority of some over others.
01:42We wake up before killings and massacres which should mark the consciences of warlords,
01:50magnates, and those that traffic in apocalyptic wars.
01:55These wars are imposed by some people on others.
01:59And they lay waste to beings, cultures, lands.
02:03They crucify.
02:04And they do all of this to ensure that life meets their tastes, whims, and interests.
02:08In these daily massacres, how much do we lose?
02:11Particularly when it comes to the most deeply rooted human emotions that we have.
02:16Love, brotherhood, and hope.
02:18These are values that human beings seem to be casting aside.
02:22These values are undoubtedly victims of the hell that they sell to us as heaven.
02:29Victims of the satanic kings that dismiss the tragedies they visit upon us.
02:35And in so doing, they forget the core principle of civilization,
02:39which should be power enjoyed by all for the good of all of us.
