Mayan people over 500 years has survived several attempts of annihilation, since the action imposed by the English conquerors. The primitive inhabitants of these lands have learned to resist pressure to accept the humiliation and silence, to witness the rape of their daughters and wives inhibiting anger, engaged in agriculture and strong physically demanding activities, the same as originally performed conquistadores under the most severe climate of the Iberian Peninsula. In Guatemala, the horses carried los conquistadores, mientras los indígenas cargaban en sus espaldas los enseres, leña y demás, utilizando la ignominia del mecapal. Para sobrevivir se adaptaron, entendiendo con mucha claridad que en este país el dominado que se rebela es aniquilado, y que la única fuerza imbatible para lograr la reivindicación es el tiempo. Los mayas decidieron aguantar en silencio para perdurar, sacrificándose generaciones enteras, esperando que la situación se convirtiera en “ocasión” ventajosa, tal y como lo plantea la filosofía china. Y no es casualidad, porque el pensamiento milenario del oriente pudo haber llegado a estas tierras con los inmigrantes que atravesaron el estrecho de Bering congelado, según the increasingly accepted hypothesis. China puts teaching wisdom in patience, and that water is the substance most wonderful, so soft and adaptable, because without a fixed form can fill any space, and because channeled on a slope becomes dangerous, and poured into the crack of a rock, frozen by low temperatures, ice becomes so powerful it leaves the rock, despite its intrinsic toughness. To survive and ensure the claim was necessary to behave like water, horizontal patient at rest, ready to be transformed into steam or ice, ready to withstand all weather. At present, Maya has grown exponentially, and Guatemala's Maya radically, without division old Caucasian population in cities and enslaved indigenous subject and in rural areas. At present, the Mayan power has taken hold in the trade, industry, and many young people have prepared and in a few years will have locked up most of the activities and positions of power. Have been fulfilled and the master plan and prevented the annihilation. For the Maya coexistence is essential not believe in the unity because their worldview is dualistic, two opposing forces in constant tension, and harmony is achieved in the balance. But in the midst of a process as slow and rooted as it has been now There is fear that the bad habits of the past centuries remain, returning to the chaos and ethnic groups or arise to try to crush, according to custom, to the less privileged.
