Many conflicts exist and all person is subject in an endless number of negotiations daily. But some case is remarkable and therefore it is possible to dedicate a certain time to them for his reflection, to object to extract lessons.

This circumstance becomes more difficult when the facts, per time that happens receive more force and are voices that would be sinceran while others are shutting up.

It will be spoken here of the political transition of dictatorship to democracy. After these concepts another transition is developed: an ethical transition, that that has like vehicle the search of the truth. The economic, technological development is not enough, etc. The human development is precise.

I belong to a generation that carried out the conflict that marked the history of century XX in its country and that left track in many others. Today after thirty years of happened the facts, the subjects are recurrent and the differences persist and the interpretations are different.

Certainly the profits are more and Chile is a country that shows undeniable material successes, but if in a phrase it was necessary to synthesize the lesson of this time is that: It is never to play with the Pandora Box.
