El credo de Neil Gaiman: el valor de las ideas, incluso las equivocadas

Una de estas casualidades, el otro día escuché hablar a José María Rodríguez Olaizola SJ de este credo, lo busqué, y me pareció buenísimo, y más en estos tiempos en que pocos respetan las ideas de los demás, y en lugar de discutirlas se usan como armas arrojadizas. Así que lo comparto por si ayuda a centrarse.

Casualidad porque justo me estoy leyendo American Gods, buenísimo. Ahí van un par de citas espectaculares:

Women survive their men. Men - men like him - don't live long when their women are gone. You'll see - he'll just start wandering, all the familiar things are going to be gone with her. He gets tired and he fades and then he gives up and then he's gone. Maybe pneumania will take him or maybe it'll be cancer, or maybe his heart will stop. Old age, and all the fight gone out of you. Then you die.

There's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe that they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous.
