The ground opening

Today, as I feel the ground opening, I fear our democracy was nothing but a short lived dream.

Democracy depends on self control and mutual respect.

“there is no point in trying to stop me from walking this land, because I have millions and millions of Boulos, millions and millions of Manuelas, of Dilmas Rousseffs that walk this land for me.

“There is no point in trying to end my ideas, they are already lingering in the air and you can’t arrest them.

“There is no point in trying to stop me from dreaming, because once I cease dreaming I’ll keep dreaming through your minds and your dreams.

“There is no point in thinking that everything will stop when I have a heart attack. That’s nonsense, because my heart shall beat through your hearts, and they are millions of hearts.

“There is no point in thinking they will make me stop. I will not stop because I’m not a human being, I’m an idea, an idea that is mixed with all of your ideas.

A Greek writer says democracy only works when the rich feel threatened. Otherwise, oligarchy takes over.

And often times, we get tired of democracy, and it’s rule of law.

How do we deal with the pain of being thrown into a future that looks as bleak as its darkest past? What do we do when the mask of civility falls and what appears is an ever more haunting image of ourselves? Where do we gather the strength to walk through the ruins and start anew?
