It seems that it was 18 days of a very busy summer in which the events that occurred on both sides of the Florida Strait were narrated...and a little more. It's not like that. They were normal days, where everyday events occurred that, when narrated, acquire extraordinary dimensions that do not exist. The theater is the same every day, the characters and the set change, that is, the people, the water strait and its banks.For those characters that died, may they rest in peace. For those who are still alive, hopefully their wishes would be fulfilled, even if that means an arduous struggle for some, and for others who become aware of who they are and what they really want. Unfortunately there will be many losers, because life is a roulette wheel and the one who puts the ball makes destiny roll. But there will also be a handful of winners who will make valid that the worst step is the one that is not done. Inactive people vegetate, do not know why they live, do not differ much from animals and, ultimately, die. Those who are active also die, some younger than others, and save themselves the ordeal of old age, but live fully, feel very strong emotions, they know what their goal is in this valley of tears. The more do evil, the less good. I know that the human condition is an impossible obstacle to overcome by the vast majority to behave well. That is why we crucify, among many other calamities, the greatest man that humanity has given: Jesus Christ. I have no intention or power to change the human condition. It exists and will exist forever. But I can't resist denouncing it every time I can.Juan Antonio Rodríguez Menier.Texas, Unite States.November 13, 2010.
