This book was released on 1998 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LOS VALORES EST�N DE MODA Hoy, en todas partes, en todos los foros, conferencias y debates se habla de "valores". En todas partes se habla de valores... sin ton ni son. Pero es preciso distinguir que todos los valores no son semejantes, ni significan lo mismo, ni son igualmente importantes. De qu� valores hablamos cuando debemos distinguir entre: Valores divinos y valores humanosValores sobrenaturales y valores naturalesValores eternos y temporalesValores patrios, literarios, acad�micos, art�sticos, pol�ticos, po�ticos, econ�micosValores culturales y, sobre todo, religiosos y morales. Todos son importantes en su campo, en su �mbito, en su esfera. Pero, sin duda ninguna, los valores religiosos y morales le dan solidez a una persona, a una sociedad y a una naci�n. En Colombia estamos padeciendo terriblemente por la ausencia o desaparici�n de los valores b�sicos que han conformado nuestra nacionalidad y nuestro pa�s. Colombia poco sufrir�a con la extinci�n de algunos valores no esenciales para nuestra supervivencia, aunque se empobrecer�a, claro est�, nuestra cultura. Pero los valores religiosos y morales no pueden faltar. Por eso Colombia se est� deshaciendo, el tejido de la Patria se ha hecho girones y vamos quiz�s hacia la cat�strofe. Con estos valores no se puede jugar ni ahora ni nunca; o los recobramos, o perecemos. El amor, la caridad, la justicia, la paz, la honradez, la honestidad, el respeto a la vida, a la honra y a la hacienda ajena, el decoro, la dignidad y otras semejantes, nos tendr�n que acompa�ar siempre si queremos subsistir como naci�n, como pa�s libre y decoroso entre los pueblos cultos de la tierra, y estos valores son los que llamamos "humanos" o "evang�licos" o, lo que es lo mismo, cristianos. �stos conforman el legado de Dios y de su Hijo, hecho Hombre para que podamos vivir en armon�a y paz. Al presentar este libro, que sin duda har� mucho bien, deseo poner de presente que su autor, el Dr. H�ctor Cardona Casta�o, ha trabajado con cari�o y ardor en la recolecci�n de palabras que nos mencionan valores humanos y cristianos que debemos recordar y no arrojar al olvido. Debo destacar que �l procura vivir a cabalidad su vida cristiana y ciudadana como Padre de familia honesto y batallador, al lado de su esposa e hijos, como congregante mariano, como profesor y orientador, convencido de los peligros que se ciernen sobre la sociedad colombiana, que se paganiza por momentos, y como hombre honesto y catedr�tico visionario que tiene sus miras puestas en la juventud, porque ella ser� la que recoja la bandera de honestidad y decencia que los de edad madura dejamos caer de nuestras manos. El Dr. Cardona ofrece este fruto de su trabajo consciente, sin mayores pretensiones, a los j�venes de hoy, pero especialmente a los maestros responsables e inquietos por la educaci�n de la juventud. Es necesario comenzar de nuevo; reconstruir entre las ruinas y soplar entre las cenizas para reavivar el rescoldo de los principios que cimentaron a una naci�n cristiana; as� se revive el recuerdo de un pasado glorioso, que no debe morir. Estamos cansados de tanta mentira, injusticia y deshonor, vulgaridad y desenfreno; los perjuros se han asentado en nuestros lares; los ladrones destruyeron la heredad; los sicarios y asesinos se acumularon por docenas acribillando a tiros la inocencia y la virtud. Los valores cristianos rese�ados en este sencillo diccionario pueden, practic�ndolos, devolvernos la paz y la virtud. Medell�n, noviembre de 1998 DAR�O ARANGO HENAO S.J. Director Congregaci�n Mariana

Download or read book Our Hispanic Roots written by Carlos B. Vega and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hispanic contribution to the making of the United States has been blatantly glossed over by most historians for the past three hundred years, despite the gallant effort of a handful of them who sought to do justice and set the record straight. This misrepresentation of the historical facts has rendered a whole nation to become oblivious to its true beginnings and formation, crippling its character and jeopardizing its future. This book, based on established and undisputed historical records, is a new attempt to bring out the whole truth, to make us realize how this nation really came into being. The making of present-day United States did not begin in 1607, nor was it confined to thirteen unsettled colonies barely occupying a minute portion of a vast continent. We need to set the historical clock back and then forward, from 1513 on through well past 1776, and give due credit to Spain and other Hispanic countries, such as Mexico, for laying down many of the foundations that made us what we are today. We need also to be proud of our Hispanic heritage, and trumpet it with equal fervor and appreciation as we do it with other less deserving ones. It is only then that we would be able to define our character both as a nation and as a people.

Download or read book Belleza Y Felicidad written by Fernanda Laguna and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Fiction. Art. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Stuart Krimko. As the Argentine economy went into freefall at the end of the last millennium, two young women--Fernanda Laguna and Cecilia Pavón--met and became friends. Fernanda, a painter and poet who also publishes fiction under the nom de plume Dalia Rosetti, and Cecilia, a poet and translator, soon forged the radically creative partnership now known as Belleza y Felicidad. As Belleza emerged into a movement and inspired a community, Fernanda and Cecilia broadcast its ethos--a complete program of resistance, as César Aira once described it--through a prodigious output of poetry and fiction. Now a generous selection of this work is available in English for the first time. With an introduction by translator Stuart Krimko, this authoritative volume transmits the urgency and passionate feeling at the heart of one of the most exciting artistic and literary movements to emerge from South America in recent decades. BELLEZA Y FELICIDAD, both the place and the idea, live on in the irresistible pleasures of Cecilia's and Fernanda's poems and stories. Upon revisiting them now I find that they are in fact high-precision lenses for seeing the daily utopias of reality.--César Aira Fernanda Laguna and Cecilia Pavón are legendary writers, domesticating the world in order to make it the subject of their 'domestic' poetry. They are voracious and understand everything. Stuart Krimko's translations capture the totalizing effect of their writings beautifully.--Chris Kraus This book is a paradise of love. Eminent, charismatic, & frolicsome, it's also the magic transcription of a friendship, i.e. a romance (several!), the kind I spent my misspent youth envying in Montaigne & La Boetie. Ecstatics of childlike candor & polymorphous grace, Fernanda Laguna & Cecilia Pavón are absolute women, guileless dreamers, saints in sneakers, on sidewalks, in jail, in Zara, on buses, in nightclubs, in bed, about to turn 29, & 37, & 7. I can't wait for everyone in america to read this book & never be the same again.--Ariana Reines
