It'...'Hero', yes, may be condescending. It's an interesting word, in each context, because the question is always who saves who, and saves/ gives what, right? (yes, I see Foucault here, sorry)<br /><br />I know you are not being a hero, you do what you can, and less what you want, and for sure, you have to do things that you don't see the point of it. But at least you were willing to try, to dive in a context that it's not yours, and you left a bunch of stuff behind, some you miss, others, not really. I know you want to open your mind and hopefully, one day do something meaningful with all you acquired. I don't know if that makes you a hero, but for sure it makes you special, willing to try to think out of the box, and someone who is able to leave its own comfort zone. Not many of us can. And in a time where hegemony reigns, more people like you do matter.<br /><br /><br />[pardon my 'French', and my lonnnnnnnng Portuguese writing sentences; you are used to, your readers aren't]inesinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891119548854660847noreply@blogger.com
