Between big lies and big truths

sometimes ours Business sector they want to be equal to those of other developing nations; but they jealously guard secrets that, if their international peers knew, would eventually scandalize them, and even probably job killing.

They are not told, for example, that the workers in their companies have to get up, sometimes as early as 4:00 in the morning, to get to their workplaces; They were told yes, a few kilometers from one of the main centers Latin American business, there is no drinking water, and many people get part of their life fluids from the neighboring streams of the settlement, even though they live in an urban area; they are not told that, in a supposedly prosperous country, which is among world statistics as a pioneer in logistics, the poor from the street steal electric cables to melt them, that small neighborhood thieves steal bottles from houses, that hundreds of thousands of people still do not have adequate electricity, that 600 thousand people are below the poverty line, which, in this the land of great stained glass windows and expensive storefronts, domestic dogs still walk freely in the streets, as in every small town in South Africa, that trash is part of the tropical landscapeyes it is sewage overflow and cause a thousand desolations in winter.

In the end, these are simply the realities we have to face and which, no matter how hard the commercial sectors are struggling the internationalization of Panamasooner or later they appear, making foreign investors often feel cheated. We must first face these harsh realities, face them and deal with them, not wallow in them, as we always try to do. We are not a nation that is moving towards development, even though economic indicators tell us otherwise.

We live, every day, within an inverted pyramid system, because those who believe they are at the top, safe at the pinnacle of digestive pleasure, will eventually pay the price of ignoring the social reality that, in the end, he ends up crashing hard on top of them. Those who do not know their own realities cannot pretend to change them.
