A long time ago when I was about seven years old, I witnessed a scene that went deep into me. At a stop at the traffic lights, I saw from my father’s car how a man dressed in a suit and tie would throw a coin at a beggar with all the luxury of contempt; the beggar in his eternal hunger ran to pick it up. Impotent before such an act I was invaded to tears by indignation and sadness. Even when we are going to allow our dignity to be sullied without reacting. Our countries have been the ones who have provided them with the raw materials and cheap labor they have needed for their progress. These “Shithole” as they called us has allowed them to wear their suits and ties, but until when will we continue running behind the coin?…
