How I feel about my country.
I miss my country. I'm living abroad, but, even if I was living there I would miss my country. Things have changed there, it seems that no one remember anymore the forty years of repression that we had there, it seems that a lot of people have just forgotten that, less than fifty years ago the dictator died in his own bed, like a hero. Or maybe that's the real problem... Anyway, I miss my free and progressive country, if it has ever existed.
Everyday I read the news and I'm very chocked, the country (maybe all Europe) is going back to the past, more and more people is angry with each other, and, where before you could find freedom, respect, joy, hope now there is no more than racism, ignorance, homophobic...
It's sad, isn't it? Why humans beings are like this? Why can't we just live all together?
I don't know, I only know that I miss my country, but I don't want to go back.

How I feel about my country.
I miss my country. I'm living abroad now, but, even if I was living there I would still miss my country. Things have changed there, it seems that no one remembers anymore the forty years of repression that we had there, it seems that a lot of people have just forgotten that, less than fifty years ago, the dictator died in his own bed, like a hero, or maybe that's the real problem...? Anyway, I miss my free and progressive country, if it has ever existed.
Everyday I read the news and I'm very chocked, the country (maybe all of Europe) is going back to the past, more and more people are angry with each other, and, where before you could find freedom, respect, joy and hope, now there is no more than nothing but racism, ignorance and homophobia...
It's sad, isn't it? Why are humans beings are like this? Why can't we just live all together?
I don't know, I only know that I miss my country, but I don't want to go back there.

Jara, you write with such a flare of nostalgia. I'm 75 years old and I miss the past, but unfortunately, we all have to move on and live in the current real world. When I started working in the 1960's, a job was for life. Now a job is a permanent renewable contract, which mean you can be fired at any time without the slightest reason. Here in Canada, we didn't have the repression you experienced. Back then, if you didn't speak French or your accent sounded English, jobs were rare. Now that has gone, jobs are like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, discrimination and unemployment is rampant, etc. Luckily, I'm retired with a small pension, practicing voluntary simplicity and living quietly in the family estate by the sea. Keep writing.
I don't know, I only know that I miss my country, but I don't want to go back.
