about Chapter 5: ‘¡Despierta , Baby!’

Savater’s key word when defining a human being is interaction, meaning the exchange between human beings. Have we ever considered how we develop that interaction through our lives? Are we aware of the influence we have on our students and that they have on us?
We can either develop that interaction through materialism, or through a net of human relationships. On the one hand, we mean materialism when we use human beings as if they were things that you can put away when no longer in use. On the other hand, human relationships are so when they complicate everyday life.
Complications usually have a negative connotation; however for us today complication will be the feeling of enjoying life and the chance of making our own decisions. So, if we had discuss so far in our previous entries that what we should focus on is living a good life, it is living a complicated life with others what we want to foster in our students.
Let’s influence our students to see the other meanings of a complicated life, let’s start enjoying share with others. Let’s foster the society we want to live in, where everybody is aware of others’ feelings and materialism is avoided. Let’s keep our jobs real and be open-minded so as to perceive our students influences in our lives.
