It is better to be more than to have more. And the only way, to my mind, of being more, is to give your life, your work, for others - the exploited, the oppressed. (They) offer us the opportunity to feel really human, not to be puppets nor cogs in a machine, saying and doing what the owners of the circus or transnational company say...
To share all life's experiences, especially the worst ones, with those who are traditionally the main victims of the system, is what gives full meaning to "being more". If they suffer, we share their pain. If they are happy, we share their joy. If they die, we also share their death. And if they live, we work with them so that they can really live like human beings. Our people love lite and want to live; that is why they are fighting; that is why they are dying; that is why they are waging war. And we are part of the people. We are all human beings, and we feel, think and desire in the d same way. That is why we ood of a revolutionary equals. with their threats. meaning, literally, step off the plane must share everything like (On the subject of the intimidatory measures of the national police directed at the workers of the Human Rights Commission of El Salvador and at those people coming to the Commis. sion's offices to denounce the crimes of the army)
They have not succeeded The comrades are continuing their work in our local offices, and the families of the victims continue to go there to make their protests. I think that it is important to overcome the fear of the enemy. That is one of the factors of a victory, and it seems to me "que no hay mal que por bien no venga" (a saying "there's nothing bad that doesn't lead to something good")...
I will (re)enter El Salvador legally. The last thing.I would want to lose is life, but I am aware that I have a 90 per cent chance of dying from the moment I - cannot say that 1 am not afraid. I am afraid but I am not terrified. And I know that I will find the necessary strength to overcome this fear. I am struggling for life, a real and dignified life. I repeat: I do not want to die. However, I have often come so close to death and witnessed its effects that I take it for granted. We must all go through it sooner or later, but in every case it will always be too soon for those who want to live life to the full.
Every minute that passes has a meaning, an unequalled depth, even if it appears to be part of the daily routine. Each breeze, each song of the cricket, each flight of the dove is a poem. Each tear, each look of hate or love, is an expression of the life we are going through. Each drop of blood of a revolutionary is one more spark which builds the fire and strengthens our morale to fight to the end. If only I could see this end, which will be the beginning of a song of freedom, a step towards happiness, and towards the fulness y9 equally a step of life!
