The locals, deeply and internally raised with traditional values and unique ideals, knowing that very pursuit of freedom and every facet of beauty in this world demands a relentless struggle, embrace them with responsibility. They witness the repeated situation of displacement created by the incompetent and greedy authorities.. With respect, they stand by in every way. No narrow and one-sided dogma will cloud their minds.. Experientially, they know that when there is no vision, people are lost, and they don’t want that. They distance themselves from pointless conflicts and irritating contradictions of politics.. They don’t rely on any fanciful and grandiose hypotheticals.. They know that Strength is not about how much you control but how much you can liberate. They voluntarily try to dispel the fog, isolate what suffocates, throw away what weighs… They strive for the polluted atmosphere to enter a state of Grace, perhaps something will happen..
