"We are promised a life of spending and squandering;
in fact, it is a countdown
against nature and against future humankind.
It is a civilization against simplicity, against sobriety,
against all natural cycles; It is a civilization against freedom, which requires time to experience human relationships and the most important things: love, friendship, adventure, solidarity and family
Stupefied, we have rejected our own biological imperative, which defends life for life’s sake as a superior cause, and we have replaced it by functional consumerism and accumulation."
Jose "Pepe" Mujica and his 3-legged dog,
Manuela, whom he described as a "loyal member of his government."
