Brazilian Carnival
Four days ago (or about that) I received a message saying ''Brazilians, remember that the crisis finishes tomorrow for starting again on Wednesday.''. I laughed at it, but I got the whole thing. Yesterday was the last day of this ''celebration'' in Brazil. Fortunately, Carnival finished, because I do not like it at all! To me, when we celebrate something, we must know the true meaning. Then, I ask myself ''What's the point?!''. However, I do know that I have to respect! That's the point about living in a society. I mean, there are many people with different points of view and, regardless of that, you have to live with them and all of us have to respect each other. But, even so, I have to admit that I get frustrated and sad when I see the waste of time and money on things which are not necessary. They say that people get happy and they need that. I acknowledge that, actually, there are many others parties and unnecessary things, but I'm going to talk, specifically, a little bit about Brazilian Carnival. Necessary? Ok, tell that to poor people, tell that to beggars, tell that to everybody who needs money for eating, studying or, basically, living. Is it fair? Recreation? Come on! Yes, three long days of recreation which includes accidents and bad things. I know that there are much more than just it. They call ''happy moments'' and ''smiles'', but Carnival represents, basically, our flesh and the days when you drop everything and drink and dance. There are many people who have the same opinion, I know it. It gets to be funny and ironic because sometimes even who doesn't have money celebrates it, but it's the truth. It's a comprehensive topic, which involves many spheres, opinions and even traditions, but I still understand those who celebrate it, despite I disagree. In general, I cannot be radical, just sensible, but Brazilians know that this is not the best time for parting and spending money like that. Then again, the culture comes and I remember that trying to break it down is an insane idea. Well, at least I have my critical position on the subject.

Brazilian Carnival
Four days ago, or thereabouts, I received a message saying ''Brazilians, remember that the crisis finishes tomorrow and will resume again on Wednesday.''. I laughed, but I got the whole thing. Yesterday was the last day of this ''celebration'' in Brazil. Fortunately Carnival finished, because I do not like it at all! To me, when we celebrate something, we must know the true meaning. Then, I asked myself ''Why?!''. However, I am respectful. That's the point about living in a society. I mean, there are many people with different points of view and, regardless of that, you have to live with them and each of us has to respect the other. But, even so, I have to admit that I get frustrated and sad when I see the waste of time and money on things which are not necessary. They say that it makes people happy and they need that. I acknowledge that, actually, there are several parties and needless things, but I'm going to talk, specifically, a little bit about the Brazilian Carnival. Is it Necessary? Ok, tell that to the poor, tell that to the beggars, tell that to everybody who needs money to eat, to study or, basically, to live. Is it fair? Recreation? Come on! Yes, three long days of recreation including accidents and bad things. I know that there is much more than just this. They say 'happy moments'' and ''smiles'', but Carnival represents, basically, our flesh and the days when you drop everything and drink and dance. There are many people who have the same opinion, I know. It becomes funny and ironic because sometimes even the poor celebrate it, but it's the truth.

Complicated, but, as I said, I respect!

Some persons, like me, have a dream about visiting Brazil, when there is Carnival.
I think. that traditional things are very important for people, because connect them with own culture.
We know, that some movies were created in war's periods, when many people were hungry. But it was important for them.
It is possible Carnival has to be less expensive in crisis time.
