Un ensayo valiente sobre el origen de lo humano.

Todos somos crueles. En mayor o en menor medida, la crueldad habita en cada uno de nosotros. Disfrazada de las más diversas maneras, oculta detrás de distintos nombres, acecha desde el comienzo de los tiempos. Si los dioses fueron crueles, ¿qué nos queda a nosotros, simples mortales a merced de las tormentas de nuestra condición humana? ¿Hay salida de este laberinto?

Cynthia Wila decide hacer suyo el viaje al corazón de la noche, a ese lado brumoso de lo humano. El resultado de la travesía es un libro valiente, indispensable para entender no solo el porqué de las grandes tragedias de la historia, sino también las formas cotidianas que toma la crueldad en el presente de la mano de la tiranía de la belleza, la indiferencia, las nuevas tecnologías y el maltrato amoroso.

Con una fuerte influencia psicoanalítica y filosófica, sin dejar de lado el arte, el cine, la literatura y la música, La crueldad se nutre de lo mejor de la tradición ensayística para devolverle al mundo --a nosotros-- una melodía que lo haga algo más amable. Por eso, apela Wila, retomar ese vínculo casi olvidado entre ética y estética se hace hoy más necesario que nunca. Porque es restituirle valor a ese espacio entre el grito desesperado y el susurro lacerante en el que habita la palabra que calma. Es volver a mirarse a los ojos para reconocer en el otro --en nosotros-- ese universo infinito de luces, de sombras, que es, ni más ni menos, raíz y fruto de nuestro propio origen.

 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

A courageous essay on the origin of the human condition.

 

We are all cruel. To a greater or lesser extent, cruelty resides in each of us. Disguised in diverse forms, hidden behind different names, it has lurked since the beginning of time. If the gods were cruel, what remains for us, mere mortals at the mercy of the storms of our human condition? Is there a way out of this labyrinth?

 

Cynthia Wila undertakes her own journey into the heart of the night, into that misty side of the human. The result is a bold book, indispensable for understanding not only the reasons behind history's great tragedies, but also the everyday forms cruelty takes today--through the tyranny of beauty, indifference, new technologies, and abusive love.

 

With a strong psychoanalytic and philosophical influence, while also drawing on art, cinema, literature, and music, La crueldad draws from the best of the essay tradition to return to the world--and to us--a melody that makes it a little more bearable. For this reason, Wila argues, reviving that nearly forgotten link between ethics and aesthetics is more necessary than ever. It means restoring value to that space between the desperate cry and the piercing whisper where the calming word resides. It means looking into each other's eyes again to recognize in the other--in ourselves--that infinite universe of light and shadow, which is, ultimately, the root and fruit of our own origin.

Best product I have found!!! Love love love it!!
Color: Picotonic Shot
This product And all the other dr Melaxin products are awesome. I have seen visible changes in my skin and my forehead wrinkles or creases if you will have diminished. I have to creases in my forehead and one between my eyes and ai can’t even see that anymore and he one on my forehead has lightened up and is not as prominent. My skin is visible plumper I am 49 and look like I am maybe 38. I have probably spent thousands of dollars on all kinds of beauty products and none work like these!! Definetly purchase hem I just bought my second bottle. I have only been using this for three months and it deminished the wrinkles in that amount of time. Also get yourself the spicual shot as well it is the pink one it's a micro needling serum and you don’t feel tingly and you don’t get red irritated akin like you do with other micro needling products. Definitely buy all their products. If you do I would get their set of skin care with the serums the cleanser, the turmeric exfoliator,therice exfoliator that is awesome all you do it put a few drops where you have black heads and you rub it into your skin in circles and it pulls out the black heads and exfoliates at the same time. I will never buy another product again their entire beauty line is great they have all you would need for beautiful skin.

Brightened My Skin and Helped Dark Spots
Color: Picotonic Shot, Color: Picotonic Shot
I’ve really liked using the Dr. Melaxin Protonic Shot Serum! The bottle is pretty small, and since I used it twice a day it lasted me about 4 months. But one pump is enough for my whole face. My skin feels very smooth after using it, and I’ve noticed some darker spots becoming lighter over time. I’ve also seen a brighter look under my eyes, which has been a huge plus for me!
