It is legitimate to have ideological views, but there is no need to feed it with hatred
SARAGOSSA, SPAIN: When a private company fails to meet its expenses, the consequences come at once: the suppliers cut off the supplies, the banks carry out mortgages, and so on.
In a public company the case is little different. Governments get into debt until unreasonable limits, dragging those who come behind (our children, our grandchildren…) with irresponsible debts, repayment and interests that then absorb our resources we have accumulated to live. This happens because macroeconomics is not ruled by the logic of economic laws, but by the arbitrariness of a policy that should have as a goal search for the common good. However, nowadays it is subjected to the machinery of political parties saturated with exacerbated ideology.
It is legitimate to have ideological views, but there is no need to feed it with hatred. When the ideology is taken to the extreme, it disturbs the trial and converts it into prejudice. Madness is the consequence of it.
