Heroes
November 20, 2007
Every no-name human who has to live
in the frightening shit holes of this world.
Every person who struggles by their side.
All those who stand up to tyranny
in the face of beatings and death.

i just finished The Book of Embraces by Eduardo Galeano, and this reminded of what he repeated throughout the book- the world is shite but there are the people, the people who choose, who fight, for what matters- other people and truth.
i really liked the book, and the statement you’ve made above. They hold hands.

It looks like a worthwhile book. I will put it on my “check out this book” list. Thank you for mentioning it.
It is so sad that luxury trumps life.
