When teaching or doing any other job

After this first term, I finally got to the end of Savater´s book, which, I must confess, has made me think about a lot of things, in particular, about the relationship between ethics and the condition of being human.
What does it mean to live ethically? What is it that I do when I don’t respect other human beings? Why take care of not only ourselves but also our planet? Why is it that I will never understand myself if I switch off from the rest of the people? Interesting concepts does Savater develop throughout his book. I recommend it to anyone who is, at least, a little bit curious like me.
One more thing: after reading this last chapter of Ethics for Amador I can say it has really reminded me of my human qualities and it has helped me understand why we must never forget our common humanity, no matter what occupation you have.

Well done, Miriam! It's always a pleasure to see a partner reach their destination... Now, putting on my teacher's hat, I'd like to add that if this task has gone beyond a class duty, making you "think about a lot of things" and reminding you "of your human qualities" , I can but rejoice in the shared responsibility we have for your reading it!

Love,
Gladys
