For the peasant, the land is not just a means or a resource for production. Land is to a certain extent "the mother", land is part of his being, his identity. The peasant loves the land and that is why he cares for it and cries and feels helpless when he loses it. The peasant places the seed in the furrow, using only the energy of his own hands, so it can come alive.
Para el campesino la tierra no es un medio, un recurso para la producción y nada más; la tierra es hasta cierto punto el origen, "la madre", la tierra hace parte de su ser, de su identidad; el campesino ama la tierra y por eso la cuida, y llora y se siente desamparado cuando la pierde.
