Labour's Tale WE NEED TO KNOW THAT WE NEED TO KNOW
Maestre Alfonso Alcaide
God has Indeed creators. By working partake of the creative work of God and, as we do, we establish relationships of communion, we transform the world and ourselves we become humanizes.
Through a long historical period the work has been separated from man and turned against him. Instead of relationships of communion, the desire to possess and to create relations of exploitation and domination and lifestyles that dehumanize the exploiter and the exploited. Today, those relationships marked by precariousness and flexibility, have broken the distinction between working time and free time between work time and personal time, family and society. This situation causes poverty and makes serious difficulties for the normal development of individuals and families.
The last step of this process is the current crisis, in which the boundless ambition of a few is causing unemployment, poverty and injustice for many, and a disaster unprecedented environmental.
