Before entering the field, as a sort of introduction, we have to offer as many as possible all the sense of what we write. Appears to be a first question: why talk of broken? In fact, this parece una pregunta posterior a otra: ¿Qué son los rotos? O, si se prefiere, ¿quiénes son los rotos?
Intentaremos ingresar en esas arduas preguntas. Arduas, porque a decir verdad me gusta casi nada hablar de los rotos: yo odio a los rotos. Pero aun así, es un tema que merece ser tratado: es una clara necesidad social que todos sepamos saber qué son los rotos, quiénes son y dónde están.
Dicho lo anterior, entremos en los meandros de una realidad bastante abstrusa. Lo decimos porque si bien resulta fácil decir qué es ser roto o qué son los rotos, y resulta más bien simple establecer quiénes son, lo enigmático es ingresar en los reductos de los rotos sin morir en el intento.
Be broken is lack of manners, to be a do not be a how. And when you do not know how you have to go through life simply has no dignity. The broken without dignity, are not at all. A dog you can have dignity, a hole can not have it. An aneurysm is a despicable being, a being who deserves to be covered in spit.
In Chile, was born back in the third decade of the nineteenth century, an archetype, the Roto Chileno (well capitalized: the broken can never be lifted with the use of capital letters.) Highly emblematic of what may be the men of our country, the Chilean-Broken featuring an unforgettable traditional statue in a Santiago neighborhood, which tends to be emulated in other cities, is installed in the collective unconscious of our people. Nuances, nuances least, that still poses archetype veneration feel rich and poor is interpreted as the Roto Chileno symbolizes: the hard face of adversity, a certain fatalism, no doubt related to the perception of a target earthquake. This archetype knows very clearly that ours is a country that must always be ready to face or live as inexorable.
And what follows from newly expressed univocally that may have broken anything to do with Broken Magnificent Chorrillos, Miraflores, Iquique and La Concepción. The broken are broken simply sucks.
