PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES

It’s easy to criticize how quickly police officers in the United States resort to using their weapons, but to truly understand, you have to put yourself in their shoes. The pressures they face are not just a matter of perception; at any moment, a routine stop can turn into a life-or-death situation. That constant tension creates an environment where every second counts, and any hesitation could cost them their lives.

Do they sometimes go too far? Absolutely. But there are also moments when, without acting swiftly, they might never have made it home to their families. This isn’t about justifying the unjustifiable but about understanding the context in which they operate: a world where split-second decisions are the norm and the cost of getting it wrong is, quite literally, life itself.

This reality doesn’t excuse abuses, but it does shed light on why being quick on the trigger can sometimes mean the difference between tucking your kids in at night or leaving them orphaned.

TRAFFIC DISPUTE: ARMED WITH GUNS

In Port St. Lucie, Florida, a heated argument between two drivers showcased the dangers of easy access to firearms in the United States. The incident, which could have ended in tragedy, luckily remained just a verbal exchange. However, both drivers were holding guns during the confrontation, making the outcome more a matter of luck than of self-control or rationality.

The scene highlights the thin line between an everyday argument and a potential tragedy when guns are involved. The fact that no one ended up mourning this time is a stark reminder of how fragile peace can be when anger and firearms collide.

WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT, ART OR LIFE

Contención, or the ability to moderate our impulses, is key to maintaining harmony in society. While some people ignore these norms and act without restraint, if everyone did the same, we’d be living in total chaos. Contención isn’t about repression; it’s an act of responsibility and respect for the common good, allowing us to avoid conflicts and strengthen the social fabric. It’s the conscious choice to prioritize order and recognize that our actions impact others. Only in this way can we preserve a just and balanced society, rather than being swept into disorder.

And while contención is fundamental to keeping order, sometimes letting go and doing what truly feels right is incredibly liberating.

MY GRANDFATHER THE SPECIALIST

My grandfather was a jungle specialist for the British Army in Malaysia.

They used to teach point men to hip fire with precision because contact in jungle warfare was so sudden and close that taking the time to aim properly was just too slow.

They started by having them hip fire at targets 1 meter in size just a few meters away, and then they slowly reduced the size of the target and increased the range. It took a few weeks or months, but to pass, they had to be able to hip fire instantly and hit a moving, plate-sized target at about 30 meters. (I can’t remember the exact distance).

Apparently, most of the class could usually hit a moving tennis ball at 30 meters with a hip-fired SLR the moment it was thrown.

I wish I had met him, but he died during a training class due to a cross-eyed soldier.

Call me romantic, but I kind of preferred when they used to sigh out of the window for the love of their life.

I KNEW I COULDN'T TRUST YOU

There are people you can tell from the very beginning that you can trust. You don’t need to know them for long to feel the security they give off. Maybe it’s the way they talk, their attitude, or the sense of calm they create. These are the people you can relax around, knowing they won’t let you down. Sometimes trust doesn’t need grand gestures—it’s just something you feel from afar, as if their very being speaks for them.

And then, there are those you wouldn’t bet a penny on.
