As every year, a new batch of graduates humanists, and this term I refer to all graduates from now. It is a happy and full of memories. But since I'm the second to speak and there are still many words and emotions, I will not make you stoic suffering a tirade about friendship, the university or the New Year's Eve, study day is not my intention, so quiet. However, as I have to say something about the institutional protocol and on the other hand I want to share with you some thoughts, I'll be happy to speak for several minutes. Belén Esteban
is best known in this country that Miguel de Unamuno, Patricia's diaries, save me, the wells and all the long list of mental opiates, have clocked up more minutes of issue that all of the 2 documentaries that have accompanied the English siestas in the last 20 years. Are already in malls many children who did not know the top, the hiding or comics. Waste contracts will know research fellows, grants loan just with the concept of public educacín, the pilgrimage in search of an impossible job, the indifference of a society that does not value enough those who must seek to preserve the memory of all that we have been. I guess that will be thinking, "But why in a graduation speech this? Is this the place? I think it is. Try to explain my reasons, so this is productive. The first is that if we surrender to the social vices of the flesh, lose the north, our compass. Culture should be the axis that the rest of your life, never stop learning and the world to survive, never give up the culture, but I do not mean that culture linked to the operation, virtual disappears the darkness of ignorance when they run the generations but the true, the which is the result of pure human development in freedom, without condicinantes. Therefore, those who manage the culture, those who have decided to develop it, to make it honorable, it must also ensure, by making it a public culture, which everyone has access. But above all necessary, including crucial, our value column should be based on the concept of truth. While this goes unnoticed, even though society does not value enough the role of the humanities, thinking that we are dedicated to them are mere thinkers, hustlers who have given to "ease" of the letters, the asiganturas Marys and hours of debate in the cafeteria. We understand that on our shoulders, it weighs a burden too big to not be worried. And that is why your flag should be the fundamental value, the Truth. Memories not only maintain but help nay, we set up human thought. Each historical process crumbled to the general public by the selfishness and greed of some, every work of art that has served to hinder the freedom of peoples, that flag has been hoisted for ideas that destroy freedom, every opera of the Third Reich Each melody was used irons have fundamentally influenced the drift of modern societies, it is essential not to happen again, so the truth must hold your intellectual work to allow companies to develop in peace.
From now on, all this has to sound distant, almost anecdotal, bizarre or sad, you ought to stop considering it a mere mockery incomprehensible because from now on, you are part of the social system, you will have to face it to an absurd world and often unfair, in a world that humanists claim to a world that is too cowardly to move towards human freedom. You'll find a bumpy road full of obstacles and impediments, because in this world we live in, lacking rational museums, libraries, teachers, poets and writers, a shortage of teachers committed to education, culture scarce, but it lacks the freedom to choose. Needed more authors like Pio Baroja, Miguel Hernandez and left over as many as Pio Moa and Cesar Vidal. But all is not lost and those who decided to go for the letters, has long passed the Rubicon. We threw the boat in search of a lost island to which we cling and swim to it now and we stronger than anyone. Because we all know the harsh reality, unrealistic prices, the stifling bureaucracy, precarious employment, finding a job far, the struggle for wanting to live as free human beings, to move beyond this vale of tears to be called fever and now mileuristas, after 20 years of study, Bologna plans, logs, LOCES and LOUS, Erasmus and Senecas, still find numbers of school failure that should make us blush, queues of unemployed people and corporations who hire graduates price of graduate school, you will have to face it all this.
Therefore, and finally, I would say, you go on out there, and remember that you are the lifeblood of this society, which operates the gears. What should not try to change you to be like everyone else, is stupid. Thanks and good luck
