On Saturday June 4 this year, began to show the fumaroles of Puyehue, a volcano located near the city of Osorno. On Thursday 12 May, student protests began in various parts of the country. What these news have in common? ... apparently little or nothing. But, a deep comparative analysis shows that both phenomena reflect news that may have unpredictable results: they could change the "face of the earth" or just be forgotten.
Powerful eruptions or ash columns, in any way that some people are damaged. People "should be" in parts of the disaster because they had no choice. The simple farmer who see how their animals will die, because the ash covered the field. Or the carabinero whose scars will always remind the attack of an alienated skateboarder.
The farmer and the carabinero do what they know and should do, for that reason received damage from forces that they can not control.
The volcano is only one way Earth has to release its internal energy, to find its balance, the protests serve a similar function on a social level. The search of “liberation” and the rationale behind irrational movements are points in common.
The questions are ... How much internal energy is accumulated? Will they be just columns of ash and powerful eruptions?
