It is not at all easy to follow the alienating contrast of this 'foreigner', deeply in love with life, but also sadly disappointed at not finding a homeland, an ubi consistam, on which to build a meaning to existence.
The human being of the year 2000 still finds himself torn between spleen and idéal (Baudelaire), with no 'place' in which to feel 'at home'. In spite of technological and scientific progress, in spite of social achievements and in spite of well-being, our society has still not found the meaning of its temporary stay on this planet and continues to wander in the universe, clinging to ephemeral values in search of an impossible happiness.

No es nada fácil estar al paso del alienante contraste de esta "extranjera", profundamente enamorada de la vida, pero también tristemente desilusionada por no encontrar la patria, un ubi consistam, sobre el que asentar la existencia.
El ser humano del siglo XXI se encuentra dividido aún entre spleen e idéal (Baudelaire), sin poder divisar un "lugar" en el que sentirse dentro de una "patria". A pesar de los progresos tecnológicos y científicos, a pesar de las conquistas de los derechos sociales y a pesar del bienestar, nuestra sociedad no ha encontrado todavía el sentido de su permanencia temporal en este planeta y continúa vagando en el universo, agarrándose a valores efímeros en busca de una felicidad imposible.
