Un ensayo valiente sobre el origen de lo humano.

Todos somos crueles. En mayor o en menor medida, la crueldad habita en cada uno de nosotros. Disfrazada de las más diversas maneras, oculta detrás de distintos nombres, acecha desde el comienzo de los tiempos. Si los dioses fueron crueles, ¿qué nos queda a nosotros, simples mortales a merced de las tormentas de nuestra condición humana? ¿Hay salida de este laberinto?

Cynthia Wila decide hacer suyo el viaje al corazón de la noche, a ese lado brumoso de lo humano. El resultado de la travesía es un libro valiente, indispensable para entender no solo el porqué de las grandes tragedias de la historia, sino también las formas cotidianas que toma la crueldad en el presente de la mano de la tiranía de la belleza, la indiferencia, las nuevas tecnologías y el maltrato amoroso.

Con una fuerte influencia psicoanalítica y filosófica, sin dejar de lado el arte, el cine, la literatura y la música, La crueldad se nutre de lo mejor de la tradición ensayística para devolverle al mundo --a nosotros-- una melodía que lo haga algo más amable. Por eso, apela Wila, retomar ese vínculo casi olvidado entre ética y estética se hace hoy más necesario que nunca. Porque es restituirle valor a ese espacio entre el grito desesperado y el susurro lacerante en el que habita la palabra que calma. Es volver a mirarse a los ojos para reconocer en el otro --en nosotros-- ese universo infinito de luces, de sombras, que es, ni más ni menos, raíz y fruto de nuestro propio origen.

 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

A courageous essay on the origin of the human condition.

 

We are all cruel. To a greater or lesser extent, cruelty resides in each of us. Disguised in diverse forms, hidden behind different names, it has lurked since the beginning of time. If the gods were cruel, what remains for us, mere mortals at the mercy of the storms of our human condition? Is there a way out of this labyrinth?

 

Cynthia Wila undertakes her own journey into the heart of the night, into that misty side of the human. The result is a bold book, indispensable for understanding not only the reasons behind history's great tragedies, but also the everyday forms cruelty takes today--through the tyranny of beauty, indifference, new technologies, and abusive love.

 

With a strong psychoanalytic and philosophical influence, while also drawing on art, cinema, literature, and music, La crueldad draws from the best of the essay tradition to return to the world--and to us--a melody that makes it a little more bearable. For this reason, Wila argues, reviving that nearly forgotten link between ethics and aesthetics is more necessary than ever. It means restoring value to that space between the desperate cry and the piercing whisper where the calming word resides. It means looking into each other's eyes again to recognize in the other--in ourselves--that infinite universe of light and shadow, which is, ultimately, the root and fruit of our own origin.

Durable, Odorless, and Reliable — A Must‑Have 3‑Pack
Size: 3Pack 16"x20" Black
I’m really impressed with this 3 Pack PTFE Teflon Sheet for Heat Press (16 x 20"). The quality is excellent, and the non‑stick surface makes every press come out clean and smooth. One thing I really appreciate is that there’s absolutely no smell, even when using high heat. It makes the whole process more comfortable and professional. These sheets offer great protection for both the heat press and the materials. They prevent scorching, keep the plates clean, and stop any vinyl or ink from sticking. My projects come out more consistent because the sheets help distribute heat evenly and act as a reliable barrier. The 3‑pack is a huge bonus. I keep one on my press, one as a backup, and one for different materials like HTV or sublimation. It saves time and keeps everything cleaner when I’m working on multiple items. The 16 x 20 size is perfect for shirts, tote bags, and larger designs, and the sheets stay flat without curling. If you want something that protects your equipment, has no smell, and delivers clean results every time, this set is definitely worth it.

T shirt Quilt Use
Size: 3Pack 16"x20" Black
I bought this specifically for ironing interfacing onto t-shirts before cutting into squares. Some of the memory t-shirt's had ‘puffy paint’ and other shirts had uncertain designs that may be ruined by ironing without protection or by using just a pressing cloth (cotton material). A teflon sheet was suggested on a you tube video to ‘play it safe’ when making a memory quilt. I felt the heat resistance teflon helped because you need to hold iron in same place for a longer time than ‘regular ironing’ movement. It worked well, the only (minor) issue is you can’t see through it. It did not interfere at all because positioning of shirt and interfacing was in place. I’m a ‘newby’ at this process; this worked for me. This is a good quality material; one sheet can be used for ironing t-shirts forever, I plan on using the other two teflon sheets to line outdoor BBQ drawer.
