Also, i just can't say that economy matters more than human lives.
However, many human lives in many undeveloped countries are getting lost because of economy. :'(
Sadly there are some people here in Brazil and other undeveloped countries that need to work everyday to have something to eat at night.
It's such a sad world we live in.

I hope people participating in demonstrations take care of themselves during this period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I understand that some people may treat participation in demonstrations as a must-do activity that shows a positive attitude. It does work, but may be effective only for a while. In history there have been numerous demonstrations against racism, but a decade later similar cases may happen again. Such a "historical cycle" shall not be continued. We've got to come up with some ideas to eradicate racism, which I think is a step further than the temporary "Black lives matter." (Beware that Asians and some other minorities are facing discrimination as well...) There must be more ways.

This is a subject that brings forth strong emotions.
I hope that we can all learn and grow together. Hearing a multitude of opinions will help all of us to see new possibilities.
Let's go easy on personal comments and discuss the ISSUES.
Peach story: I was once a GOOD little very Southern girl...a little shy, the good girl in class. Good grades, good deeds, went to Cotillion, volunteered at the hospital...boring. Very conservative...it was all I knew.
My church sent me to a world conference for high schoolers. I was suddenly in with kids from all over, Black Panthers, Viet Nam activists, you name it...every far left group of the time was there. I had an epiphany....and my life changed 360 degrees.
I took paths I never dreamed of.. Fought the battles of my times, traveled the world. Learned.
So...I promise each of you: Life is not static. We are here to learn, feed our souls and GROW...and Most importantly, to help others.
Someday you will all look back and tell YOUR kids about the crazy things you used to believe.
Make me proud okay? Love you all! :2hearts:
So...let's educate each other, share our stories, but RESPECT others opinions as well. That's how we learn and grow.
And growing is WHY we are all here. We have THIS lifetime to learn...grow...develop.
Make the most of it.

I’ve changed opinions and political views as well. It’s no shame at all!
The only constant in life is change
