what I was to become unconsciously 51 years later. A deep respect for nature and the aboriginal simple ways.
My dad, a poor guy, not humble at all, auto repair man from the city, with a cigar maker, alcoholic father, demonstrated that pride is useless unless you have some solid fundamental structure to support it. In his case reading. My dad was very unpleasant with the ignorant, not necessarily in the academic ways . I do not mean only with those who could not read, but the whole spectrum.
My mother, a product from our extinct agricultural roots, taught me that fundamentals, being consequent with one actions, moral and religion beliefs is what really matter when judging one's character and complacent ways.
My dad's overcame my mother's silly, bland, complacent with this valley of tears lame, weak, view of life. I am ruthless, no pity or prisoners taken. In terms of nature, flora/fauna and/or environmental issues.
I think that will do for now....
I would suggest to those Puercorican lovers of the rag flag, too often just posing, high fist, firebrand, culture, language, food, music and scenery to be more consistent with their actions and writings.
There is not much left to be proud
off. Your action/words are just that...water and salt.
