En torno a la terrible desgracia ferroviaria en Santiago, una reflexión filosófica-psicológica que nos da para pensar.

La pesadilla de creer ser el culpable - ileon.com

"el ser humano no puede vivir tranquilo sin encontrar un culpable, le da demasiado vértigo no encontrar explicación a las cosas" dice el psicólogo Miguel Ángel Cueto.

Todo ese horror en Santiago (ya son 80 los muertos, y 30 personas más en estado grave) puede haberse debido a un descuido del maquinista — o no. Pero aún si la investigación muestra que no, que hubo un conjunto de defectos de la máquina, la vía, etc., vamos a querer encontrar a alguien para echarle una culpa que posiblemente se debería repartir entre mucha gente o a todo un sistema.

Digo yo, que no soy psicólogo, pero he visto muchos casos de castigos apresurados de inocentes.

Geoffrey Fox's short story collection Welcome to My Contri (1988, enlarged e-book 2010) was described by The New York Times Book Review as a "short and impressive work" in which "Mr. Fox [...] has created a memorable set of players who, while not natural antagonists (they often share the same dreams and goals), are still somehow bent on confrontation. Watching their sometimes vicious, often darkly humorous interactions leaves us thoroughly wrung out and aware that we are in the presence of a formidable new writer". Novels: A Gift for the Sultan (2010), Rabble! (2022) His articles, op-eds and book reviews have appeared in The Nation, The New York Times, the Village Voice and other publications. Since 2008, Fox has been living with his partner, architect Susana Torre, on the edge of the Mediterranean in the village of Carboneras in Andalusia, Spain, where his short stories (in Spanish) under the pen name "Baltasar Lotroyo" ("el otro yo" = alter ego in Spanish) have appeared in anthologies and online publications.
