Thank God for the Completion and Good Ending

  In the journey of life, each chapter presents its unique challenges, obstacles, and rewards. There are moments when we find ourselves overwhelmed, questioning whether we will ever reach the finish line. However, just like the narrative arcs of our favorite stories, there’s something deeply satisfying about a well-executed conclusion—one that feels both rewarding and fulfilling. Whether it's a personal goal, a professional project, or even a cherished movie or book, the feeling of completion is something we all strive for. It brings a sense of peace, knowing that despite the ups and downs, there was a purpose behind every step we took. And when the ending is good, it makes all the struggles worthwhile. The Importance of Completion In a world that moves at such a rapid pace, we often rush through tasks and events, focusing on the next big thing before we’ve even processed the current one.

Chile extends new constitution deadline to July

 Chile extended the new constitution deadline by three months on Tuesday. An assembly in Chile charged with drawing up Chile’s new constitution extended the deadline, by which the first draft must be ready by July.

The members of the assembly addressed environmental and social issues while extending the deadline. The extension received 114 votes in favour while 8 against. However, 25 abstained. Consequently, the assembly approved a one-time extension and set the new date for the draft constitution to July 5.

Maria Elisa Quinteros, president of the constituentassembly, said, “We have a long constituent process that has to be done in a short time.”

Chile extends new constitution

Reportedly, if the constituent assembly is unable to draft a new constitution by the deadline of July 5, the current constitution that dates back to the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet will remain in effect.

Chile’s constituent assembly has begun debating motions for a new constitution in February. The new constitution will replace the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Quinteros said that 84 articles have been approved so far.

According to Reuters, there were originally more than 1,200 proposals. However, some proposals were rejected in committees, others were removed, and several merged. The environmental commission had 40 proposals, but only one has been approved. The assembly will discuss more edgy motions and vote on them over upcoming sessions. Any proposal will need approval by two-thirds of delegates, some 103 votes, to make it to the final draft.

Francisco Zambrano, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chile, said drafting a new constitution creates “uncertainty and institutional instability.”

 An article guaranteeing women’s reproductive rights, including abortion, was approved last week. Other proposals of themes include animal rights, feminist education, protection of the natural world, and the legalisation of cannabis. The proposals will be debated in the coming months.
