The Friendship of the Words reflections on Art and Expression

Abstract

The school is an institution created to educate. However, we could declare, without fear of being wrong, that it does not fulfill its purpose. The same happens with the hospital, created to cure, or the prison, to correct. We could continue arguing in the same way, if we think of the church, the factory or the government as places of useful decisions for society. In all of them there is something missing, and that something can be the equality that two human beings establish when they use their voice to engage in communication. This article refers to the importance of the enlightened voice that is heard, and the role that art plays so we can express ourselves. In the communion that occurs between human beings who speak their voice, the hospital, the school, the prison become places where the human being can find a path for a just and creative life.
