A person is a reflection of their culture, of what they believe and how they live their lives. A bridge between the past and the future, between time and space and needs to try to keep them in harmony, less they become unbalanced. Not to be aware of the past and give it due consideration in the building of the future can distort the future. Neither is it wise to sacrifice your future because you choose to live in or as if you are in the past. One World One Human Race One Destiny (OWOHROD)

JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE IRONIC AND PARADOXICAL SACRIFICE OF BRAZIL' LUIS INACIO LULA DA SILVA! PART 2.
When you are poor, desperate and have to live in fear, you might not be given to 'look an apparent gift horse in the mouth.'
It might be better, or you might have become so conditioned to what seems to be the 'normal state of being.'
That you are not the one who is going 'lose your head or life', knowingly, by questioning and challenging the status quo.
Yes, in a way, former President Lula de Silva and his government did question and challenged the then existing militarised and right-wing status quo which was Brazilian societal norm prior to 2003.
And which is now reclaiming the Brazilian landscape again. But they did so at a cost, including, and probably inevitably so, using some of the inherently corrupt Brazilian methodology and tools.
After all, when there is muddy water all around you, blocking your path to dry and desirable land.
How can you get across without threading in the murky water, yourself, or getting someone else to do so and carry you across?
According to the Brazilian Judiciary, former President Lula de Silva is guilty of the charges brought against him.
And must now submit himself to serving whatever time he has to serve, and not await the outcome of his appeal.
This is not how Lula de Silva and his supporters see it. For them and him, the former president is still a potent political asset, and should not be removed from the political arena by being incarcerated.
After all, they could argue, has the Brazilian Judiciary, in the past, if still, made exceptions for those on the right of the political spectrum?
Has not the current President, Michel Miguel Elias Temer, himself benefited from the questionable manipulation of the Brazilian Judiciary, including the country's Legislature?
