FRANSISCAN CHURCH "VILLA DE LEYVA"

500 YEARS AGO, EUROPEAN BROUGH THEIR NEW LIFE STYLE TO THE TROPICS AND WITH THAT A VERY EFFICIENT WAY TO CREATE NEW CITIZENS OF THE SPAIN CROWN……RELIGION…….WE THE INDIANS BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND, THAT IF WE WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF THIS NEW LIFE STYLE WE BETTER SHOULD LEARN THEIR GOD FIRST, AND SEE HOW MUCH MERCY THIS NEW GOD HAD TO OFERT……..NOT ONLY THAT…….WE ALSO LEARNED NEW POLITICS, FOOD HABITS, LANGUAGE, AND HOW IMPORTANT EDUCATION AND TRADE WERE. BUT AT THE END OF THE ROAD , WE FOUND THIS LIFE STYLE TO BE THE SHORT WAY TO BECOME TAX PAYERS AND GET LAST NAMES AND NAMES IN ORDER TO ORDENAISE OUR COMUNITIES AND UNDERSTAND THE NEW ROLE AS MEMBERS OF THIS NEW EUROPEAN AND INDIGENOUS PAINFUL LIFE. 500 YEARS LATER WE STILL FOLLOW ALMOST THE SAME PRINCIPLES TO SILENCE THE NEW IDEAS, AND GET RICHER AND RICHER. BUT WE ALSO DENIED OUR OWN BLOOD AND LOOK FOR OTHER CULTURES TO IMITATE……….! WE REALLY LEARNED THE LESSON!……………… WE STILL LOOKING FOR A NEW SOCIETY TO COPY……AND PERHAPS MY KIDS WILL BE BETTER CITIZENS OF WHEREVER ………… JAPAN, CUBA, USA, FRENCH, ARABS…………WHO CARES WE JUST LOVE TO IMITATE!
