Anguish at nightfall

Night falls and today it seems that it did much faster.
The streets, after finishing the workday, receive me and I see in the twitching faces of the people that I cross, the anger that the uncertainty and the impotence that life as we know it, induces them.
The privilege of breathing and feeling is becoming insufficient for many, especially for my contemporaries who knew the opportunities to achieve, progress and be successful.
The youngest, innocents and perhaps condemned by the limitation imposed on them by the life they have known, full of disorders, abuses, vexations, masked by an indulgent and promiscuous approach to immediacy, do not seem to realize that they are losing the opportunity to build a legacy before this complex reality that presents us with life as we know it.
I hope to have the temperance and the wisdom to explain to my children still children, that human values, almost in the third decade of the 21st century, are still a sustainable way of positive transformation to consolidate better relations with our fellow human beings, all the species that they inhabit the planet and with mother earth itself.
