A stranger with no ties and no history can say what she likes, but she doesn’t know how hard it was to get where we are now. She doesn’t know the sacrifices we made for our children. She doesn’t know that we work tirelessly so that the earth will be generous with us, so that we will be at peace, and so that we can store away provisions for the future.
