En Ceuta cae algo más que una frontera
Mientras la inmigración se convierte en el disolvente definitivo de Europa, solo nos queda una última decencia
Odiseo did not conquer the city of Troy through courage or strength during the Trojan War, but by using a wooden horse that appeared to be an offering to the gods. The Trojans opened their gates and allowed Odiseo inside because they were honorable and understood that dedicating something to the sacred was not to be destroyed or profaned.
Their respect, not their weakness, led to their defeat that night. Those who honored the rule died, while those who betrayed it emerged victorious. In all of Western history, there is no more uncomfortable lesson to be found. Odiseo did not just break one city that night. According to the version Christopher Nolan recently brought to the screen, what truly shattered the faith was the very rule itself, forever.
From the moment Odiseo demonstrated to the world that honoring the pact results in death and betrayal leads to victory, no one had reason to trust anyone else. The casualty was not a wall, but the possibility of order between nations, the essence of a civilization.
