We have to scale the idea but finally is the same

Last year I had an amazing crisis. For 47 years I have lived almost a perfect life. Almost is almost because it has not been perfect either. My father died and I was dealing with the fact of death for many years. How ever it has been perfect because many good things happened as me and my brother end upgraduating from school, university, marrying, having our sons and still now we have our mom alive. So yes, almost a perfect life.
How ever, one day, crisis took almost all my serene life to shock me as hard as it can. I had had some symbolic advices…but I never pay attention and I continue my journey with out caring. Or maybe I was caring, but I did not want to believe and I keep hiding some of my fears and my most deeper thoughts…and maybe because of that, my crisis was growing inside of me to come out…it was just waiting for one day…and that day came and my life changed for ever. Even in a deeper way…in a way I never even imagine.
So after I knew Trump won the election, even before he in fact did, I knew people from Estados Unidos de América was going to live a deeper change. And I have been willing to share my thoughts. We have to scale it…but the idea is the same. If we can see it from a different perspective, we may see how deeply slept we all were as we could not even see layers and layers of people who did not want the same country we though Estados Unidos was suppose to be. Every time I have had the opportunity to go to this big country, I felt some kind of strange feelings. Different ones. As big as it is. Because it was a country where many changes happened even before they happened in many other places. As slavery, black people going to schools, woman to vote or gay marriages to be accept it.
But…it was not completely. And maybe never would be completely. Because it is more complex than that. It is nation with such a power that it has forget to be humble so its people could be humble as well. It is a country of contrast. And its economy has become so powerful and their army has become so powerful that no other country has been willing to challenge them. So….as none nation was going to make it, it did it itself…their own nation challenge themselves to be able to build a better nation from it. No other was going to challenge los Estados Unidos de America but its own people…
And now it is real. There they are trying to find answers to such a powerful question. ¿Are we going to make it? ¿How are we going to make it? ¿Will we be able to make it? And of course, they will be able. It is going to take many things. Humble, patience, love, gratitude and many good things to balance what may come. But it was necessary to happen to open people eyes and ears and be able to find out many other (48%) were different than them still and that they were even with lees being able to win…because this was bigger, and will challenge all of us, including countries like mine, which depends on what happen up there.
So…what can I tell you my beloved ones…as many people told me and still tell me about me and my own country, crisis is the best we could face as individuals and communities…because it helps us to find out the best of ourselves to survive…which is what is going to be need it to be able to deal with what is still instead the spirit of Trump. He is not the one we were waiting, but he arrived as a dark light to help your country to find new ways of solving things you thought were already solved.
Layers and layers of hidden things might come soon to the light and when that happened you will be able to understand more the world we all are trying to help….
