One (1) is not unity, it is one. Five (5) is unity, it is the sum of 1+1+1+1+1. That together adds up to five (5). And here only ONE five is worth, that is, one (1). Unity in a transcendent sense represents the whole. And in it, all parts contain the whole and the whole is reflected in each part equally. But those are metaphysical matters far from these state matters.
And Spain is nothing transcendent, except for the crazy people who can be 1 or millions. So Spain can be 2, 5, 18 or whatever they want, but not one or one (without content). And that is only maintained with a mathematical theorem called diplomacy. The one (1), the one of five or eight or whatever. The more varied and complex, the more capable it will be. Like any other organism of physical, political or spiritual life.
If Spain had been one, it would no longer exist. Another country that was five (1+1+1+1+1) would have eaten it a long time ago. The USA, for example, are 50 (many ones + ones). So clear that it doesn't even have a proper name. But a definition 'United States'. 'One' united states. And now pay attention. In order for this to be so, on several occasions the US Constitution has been amended, and the interpretation and application of its provisions has changed twenty-seven times (27). It is also true that for some of them they killed each other a lot (the abolition of slavery) or less (the right to alcohol, to nonsense let's go).
So we shouldn't "kill each other" over some little amendments. That they are all day with the fair distribution of money (just what they care about the least). In fact, if Catalonia became a country, it should immediately be subdivided into regions, countries or whatever they want, but different things that, added together, make up one (1). That at some point they consider a certain or important management independence of, for example, Barcelona. If they wanted to subsist.
So, let's recap: there are no slaves, we drink like Cossacks. Do you want to tell me clearly why are we going to "kill each other"? Don't come to me with the 1 (one) or the one. Without Catalonia and without Euskadi we would be a fascist government. Even the Canarian nationalists are betting on the fascists and, as strange nationalists, they deny the independentists from other places more than the power from which they feel marginalized to become nationalists.
It's a mess, a paradox or it's simply the Canary Islands. I wrote this a year or two ago. There, perhaps, is its possible charm.
Gladys, a strange matter
Gladys Acuña's case is a strange matter. It's as if they took away your car driving license for bad driving, but you could drive buses and trucks. Curious the ambiguous sentence and more curious the pretensions or interpretations.
Another similar one would be that for a malpractice as a nurse you would be withdrawn the possibility of practicing as such, but you could practice as a surgeon. I don't know, it all sounds a bit crazy to me. But well it's just parliaments or councils.
And since it seems that doesn't affect us, it stays in political brawls. But if you go on a plane and they tell you that the pilot had his co-pilot title withdrawn but not the pilot title (oversights), well you shit your pants.
And, by the way, look at the things of language, mind and machismo. Pilota sounds weird, however copilota not so much. Or nothing.
