So, as you can imagine, when there is a hope deficit and a surplus of money and time, the perfect environment for chaos is created. Not being able to see past today or even see any value in looking toward the good for yourself or others, no concept of a bigger picture creates a cesspool for corruption. Oppression and drastic means prevail as a result of people's weariness and hopelessness. That's what I see anyway.Kacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316470272541854191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739206522773760507.post-12608516485337820222014-12-04T13:06:12.459-06:002014-12-04T13:06:12.459-06:00Kacy, trying to understand the bacchanalia of Dece...Kacy, trying to understand the bacchanalia of December there, I did a Google search because, well, that's what I do for everything. Basically, I found nothing, but I did find a calendar of public holidays (4 in a 16 day period in Dec). Is it the concentration of holidays that enables folks during the month? What's your best explanation?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803839798596082079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739206522773760507.post-28942594989974375392014-12-04T04:32:23.560-06:002014-12-04T04:32:23.560-06:00hi!!

I live in the Dominican Republic and December is a month of debauchery and thieves. The government requires everyone get paid double their salary, but no one makes pre-decisions, and it doesn't end up feeding hungry children like it should. This entry is a beautiful picture and such a hard lesson to remember sometimes, thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
