People from abroad criticize us because "we do nothing" to improve our situation...at least those who are not Cubans are unaware of the level of control under which we live...but those who lived know how it works and now it is easy for them to tell you to the one left behind: fight. It makes me laugh after all.
In short, as you say, this is a mental and physical prison... for everyone. We will continue to lengthen as time does inside a black hole.
Thanks @nanixxx, we have a lot in common.
