Stoicism trumps violence

In this new world where what happens is shared virtually the world over by witnesses at the scenes, it is clear that the stoicism of the mothers of those who demand respect for basic human rights and participation in economic, social and political changes in Cuba, defeat the continued dictatorship’ violence, that bogged down Cuban evolution in corruption, misery and abuse of the people.

Before, our anger at the dictatorship abuses turned to violence against the dictatorship and its representatives; violence fueled by international interests, which condoned and promoted our anger, for their benefit, at the capricious abuse of the Cuban people by the dictatorship. But in this virtual age, the Ladies in White and those who walk with them show us a new route of stoic non violence. This exemplary conduct of today’s Cuban patriots arouses our respect, desire for participation, a reevaluation of our tactics, allegiance to the new generation, and pushes the warriors, general’s dictators of the 26 of July, to the pit of crimes against humanity.

In Miami exile, the will to conjugate what is best for Cubans on both sides of the strait of Florida grows daily. Those who can legally travel to Cuba, take economic and moral support to their families and friends in Cuba; the new Cuban/American generation in United States itches to participate in the cultural exchange to share with the Cubans on the island their knowledge of art, industry, and our new found knowledge of United State’s "Insured freedom" idea. Those the dictatorship consider enemies and do not allow them travel to Cuba legally, are raising funds for those seeking freedom in Cuba, as do Mercedes Perdigon and Reyna Zapata in Hialeah; or prepare border flotillas to the maritime border with Cuba, to announce support, such as Saul Sanchez and Democracy Movement will do December 9, among others; and all of us use social networks to disseminate and report the crimes the 26 of July dictatorship has hid from mankind with lies.

Please pray for a few seconds to your God, for Eduardo Arocena family; Arocena is the longest held Cuban political prisoner in U.S.
