On hope and changes


Can an entire nation make a turn into its History and change? Mr. Obama said that YES, it CAN.

He's one person. And for changes to happen, it only takes one person, one single person who's able to make the winds spread a little bit of hope to others. Some people, the people, a nation.

But what's difficult to think is: can one really hope that a person can change? A nation is an abstract crowd. A person, a concrete spot in this crowd, is completely different. And I do hope that someday, I can say YES, they CAN change.

For the moment, I try to live on hope. As most people and entire nations.

Dear, what would we do without hope? nothing..... we´d be absolutely boring, and negative and a pain in the ass.

"Serra da boa esperança, esperança que encerra...no coração..um punhado de terra. No coração de quem vai, no coração de quem vem...serra da boa esperança meu único bem...!" Essa música bem brasileira diz maravilhosamente...esperança "meu único bem"
