The power of one person

Here what has achieved one lady alone:  La mujer que pega fuerte a Pornhub

Some are heroes

Some thirty years ago, Hollywood produced a movie that was very successful and gave birth to a whole series of analogous productions: ‘The Power of One’. Many thinkers have taken their cue from this approach to reflect on the power of a single person. Among them is also Jordan Peterson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f-Jg1Foqhs

Faced with the enormous problems of our time – pandemic, globalist attack, inflation, media lies, corruption, etc. – each of us can feel overwhelmed, under the pressure of an enormous weight of worries. Before we reflect on it, we feel unable to do anything to ‘fix the world’, so to speak. Faced with this first impression, two options present themselves: some think they are powerless to initiate change and others face the problems, roll up their sleeves and start thinking in terms of ‘I can and should do something’. And the first thing is always to start with oneself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpCBIF1Yl4k

In the first group there are those who do not want to lose their comfortable life settlement. They prefer not to complicate things and decide to continue sitting at ease on their couch with their consumption, hobbies, digital games, sports, etc.  Even without being sunk in the abyss of the great vices, such as alcohol, drugs, sex, etc., they are people who do not know how to dream and hope, they are people without firm convictions that can guide their lives, they are merchants of the ephemeral happiness that gives them the short moments of a series of pleasures that allow good food, wine, going out with friends and a little more. They have surrendered to the prevailing relativism in the social environment, where anything goes, nothing is bad or good, not even life itself. And part of this first group slips into the dens of sexual promiscuity and drugs, which soon makes them unable to work. Thus they become social cases, costing the state and the taxpayer a great deal of money. In Germany this figure was 15.3 billion Euros in 2021.

Those in the second group, on the other hand, are apparently the same, but when dealing with them one sees that they have the courage to undertake arduous sacrifices without expecting any reward. They are aware that if they do not put up a fight, no one else will do it in their place. They usually have strong moral principles.

Examples of deployment of a person’s power

One could mention thousands of cases, so I will limit myself to just a few:

The Christians of the first hour, whose martyrdom has been the seed of the greatness of the Judeo-Christian West. But equal merit has been given to those who lived their faith faith faithfully, raising their families and dying in peace in their old age.

Every father or mother of a family, who alongside their joys, sacrifices for their children and their husbands. If this living cell of society were to die, everything would fall into chaos, the signs of which we see everywhere today.

In the same way, everyone who carries out his manual or intellectual work, with zeal and interest, moves the world towards the good. He should know that he is thus contributing to the good of his country and of the world. What would happen, for example, if subway drivers in a large city did not go to work?  The same applies to any sector that is essential to the well-being of others. Thus it is understood that when the essentials for living – food, networks, housing and heating – are lacking, everything else cannot survive. These are situations of armed or biological warfare, such as the recent covid.

In history we have a Christopher Columbus, for example, or an Adenauer, or even inventors who have laid the foundations of mechanical and digital high technology, which has boosted economic productivity to unprecedented heights.

Statues of heroes and saints

Every society that has some awareness of itself and its history builds monuments and statues to its heroes and saints. It is an universal phenomenon that presents their lives as examples to imitate, as guiding signs for one’s own life. They are people who have initiated processes with their own dynamic, as in the case of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, St. Joseph Mary Escriva de Balaguer and so many others throughout the worlds history. But in view of the enormous importance of the traditional family, it is time to raise statues and monuments, not so much to the unknown soldier, but rather to the unknown mother and father. These are the people whose turn it is to courageously face the solution of problems, especially at the political level.

What else can I do?

The people of the second group, those who keep the world going well thanks to their example of life, the education of their children and their professional activity, can nevertheless excuse themselves by thinking that they can do no more. But they can and must stand up to the big problems, developing initiatives of their own or adhering to the initiatives of others. For example:

– Digital technology allows almost free communication between thousands and millions of people. Thus have emerged, first in the USA, all kinds of political, social, economic, cultural, etc., social networks that aim to address specific problems. An example in Spain is ‘Citizengo.net’ which has 18 million followers in the fight against abortion, genderism and unjust laws. Because legal norms have a profound impact on society, the most urgent thing is to implement websites that offer citizens the possibility to send petitions to the government. When there are many thousands, officials often react thinking that they cannot afford to lose votes in the next election.

– Monitor laws and government management. In this sense, some countries have the referendum, such as Switzerland. Here it is above all a matter of uniting dispersed forces that have the same or analogous ideal, to achieve a synergic effect that allows the triumph of a cause. It is a pity that so many excellent people sometimes behave like lone partisans, who, even if they have their intellectual and sentimental charms, hold them back from joining forces with others. Wars are won by well-led armies.

– Prevent people from reaching the legislative chambers or parliament who do not act according to their conscience, but carry out secret instructions in exchange for money. Unfortunately, the promulgation of laws that are absurd, unjust and offensive to the great majority of citizens cannot be explained in any other way. This is the case of regulations and laws that introduce, for example, genderism and sex education to children in school. Concretely, the EU is acting in this way against the wishes of the majority, and with the money that comes from the pocket of that same majority. It is a deception that cries out to heaven.
