Despertar el amor a la vida en tiempos de oscuridad.
(Hospitalidad ESDAI, 2010)
Burggraf, Jutta
;
Campus Ciudad de México
This article is about giving the first guidelines for answering everyday more urgent questions: How do you defend life effectively? How to help people who, in extreme situations, have chosen something which ended in tragedy: An abortion or euthanasia. It highlights some common aspects which must be one way or another, developed by every "life defender". A person willing to work for life, needs, first of all, a strong and free heart; he must daily become more independent of the judgments of others. At the same time, he must recognize that we are all deeply and personally involved in the events of our world. If we accept this fact, we will be able to see, with cleaner eyes, apart from all errors, that there is much goodness and beauty in others. We are called to endeavor in the difficult art of going in-depth with others, to not remain in what is said, but to arrive to what is meant. In a moment of discouragement, failure or distress, it is terribly important to find someone who understands, who doesn't fight, doesn't coldly classify but who is capable of sharing the - often contradictory - feelings, found in the human heart. If we want someone to, really, detach himself from error, ugliness or evil, and open himself to new knowledge, one must enter into a friendly relationship with him. Advice is only accepted when there is trust. One follows a friend and nobody else. In an atmosphere of trust and kindness, one should appeal to the other's noblest reasons so that he may, by himself, want to do good or repent of evil. He can and must decide by himself to leave the hole into which he has fallen. The proximity of a friend makes this possible. If a person gets used to discovering the goodness in the hearts of all men, he lays the foundation for the awakening of a new life in one who has behaved badly; it will even broaden his own life. The honest treatment of others will make his vitality grow. More ideas will occur, more values will shimmer. He will, above all, be more capable of love, better suited to guide.

La hospitalidad como una necesidad esencial del ser humano
(Hospitalidad ESDAI, 2002)
Campus Ciudad de México
Este ensayo rescata el concepto fundamental de la dignidad humana desde el punto de vista absoluto y filosófico. De modo que el universo es antropocéntrico por la dignidad que el hombre posee. Aspecto que se encuentra ensombrecido por los nexos sociales de la civilización actual en los que la persona se ha convertido en un medio, en una pieza de recambio, con la inseguridad que esto conlleva. La familia se convierte así en el topos genuino de la dignidad humana y adquiere una relevancia cultural única. Frente al economicismo --trama que rige las transacciones comerciales--, al racionalismo --que sirve de soporte al plan impuesto por la reglamentación estatal-- y frente a los medios de comunicación, que ejercen en ambos una fuerte influencia, se yergue el mundo del ethos vital, de la realidad individual, el mundo de la vida corriente, como una añoranza. En este mundo aparece un elemento de fuerza insospechada: la amistad, ámbito de plena confianza y co-rrespondencia en la que el hombre se reencuentra con su propia dignidad. Es así que los objetivos fundacionales de ESDAI han resultado visionarios, al pretender influir, con los valores que propician la convivencia del hogar (la comprensión, el respeto, la confianza, la sinceridad y la sencillez), en las entidades sociales privadas y públicas, especialmente en las que deben ejercer directa o indirectamente la función de la hospitalidad.
