RE: Creative Writing Challenge - Task #4 - He and I

I like comparison/contrast between two different people AND two different locations. I think that is the key towards understanding how money works differently in different cultures. For some, money is more important and is more NECESSARY to survive, in other countries, family is more important and being poor does not mean you're not happy. Great story!

Thanks, as always, for your feedback! That's a huge truth: money is not happiness, but having money makes some things easier to achieve.
As Silvio Rodriguez would say "el que nace bien parado, en preocuparse lo que anhela no tiene que invertir salud" --> basically, if you have money, to obtain what you need, you don't need to pay your health as a price (referring to the sacrifices you make to achieve what you want when there's lack of capital)

Silvio Rodriguez said a wise thing.
That is a great quote.

¿eres de cuba entonces?

Venezuela. Pero como aquí manda el fantasma de chavez, quien a su vez es designado por el fantasma de fidel, el odio es el mismo. Me da rabia haber escrito su nombre con mayúscula en el comentario anterior, jajaja.
