The change we seek for a better government and a better Country is everybody’s duty for the sake of the future of our children and our children’s children. However, the path towards that change is not an overnight burst of emotion but a dedicated and consistent struggle. Even if we abdicate on that duty, the future will certainly come. The question is: Do we want to be part in shaping that future?
