You are attacked, not by your failures but by your virtues. They claim, not by your weaknesses but by your strength and competence. Ayn Rand. "My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." –Ayn Rand

For personal reasons of security...
For personal reasons of security, against threats of imminent danger, me and family decided to seek a safer place to live, a place in the USA, the state of Rhode Island in the heart of New England, a historic bastion of search of freedom of former British immigrants who arrived in these lands for similar reasons to mine, fleeing because of threats to individual freedom.
I traveled to this awesome country since I was twelve years, today is a long time, from tourist to seek refuge believe me, the difference is huge, weighs. Even the rational decision not immunizes you to miss important values, which became little by little, so important, that values helped to shape my thinking through rational reflection and the intellectual effort required. Everything is missing.
I'm not alone on the issue, two days ago we had the whim of the rich corn hot beverage, hot drink of Guatemalan culture, we got the car going down a path a half hour between freeways and highways, up to the field to one of the many shops of vegetables, legumes and fruits harvested there, beautiful fields of course, now with dozens of pumpkins.
While in the store, we choose almost at random, in the delivery area saw a group of workers whose appearance seemed familiar, I almost immediately went over and spoke to one of them, were turned Guatemalan peasants from the highlands, here are called "quichélenses" I quickly identified as a guatemalan and, questions rise up, why are you in this country? How long have left Guatemala? Will return? How are you doing?
They miss their families, friends, land, climate, yet not change their current situation, working successfully on what they know, to cultivate the land, their american employers owners of family farms, fully appreciate their expertise, they pay for Thus, there are now almost indispensable, not imagine blocking highways manipulated by leftist activists. Do not live in fear of being killed by the government (army), the guerrilla bands of any type, most have opted to refugee law. In following articles expand on the subject soon.
