Spanish term or phrase: angustia abismal, esas miradas de angustia abismal
Difícilmente se pueden sostener esas miradas de angustia abismal, brillando con una expresión que nos parece demasiado cercana a nosotros como para no sobrecogernos con la intuición de una espantosa injusticia. Genéticamente, la diferencia entre un ser humano y un chimpancé es de un escaso dos por ciento. Pero basta la simple observación para confirmar un parentesco en el que preferimos no pensar para que nuestra consciencia no quede abrumada por una culpabilidad irrespirable. (Antonio Muñez Molina, 1956- "Nuestros semejantes")
