After ten years, Savater decides share with us one more chapter.
Taking into account the times we live in, he says that the key to enjoy a good life is to care about others. We must realize that we're social beings: we need to look after ourselves and, at the same time, take care of others since we belong to the same species. We need to leave aside stereotypes and recognize each other as what we are: humans.
Savater says that the division of time into hours, days, weeks, months and years is just as the division of a book in pages:it is not the number of the page that tells us what happens but it serves just to the purpose of giving it an order and the possibility of going back to see what has happened before in order for us to remember it or to reflec upon it or to learn from it... I have to say that that is exactly what happens with our lives, the more numbers of pages we turn over throughout the time, the more experiences we have lived for us to go back and learn from them.

Inspiring way of looking back, I say! Do you feel this is how most people around you live their lives, Marucha? Do you think this is the "official" message promoted by the media? Where does school stand in all this?
Cheers,
Gladys
