solution to our personal, family or nationalproblems.Once more, we wish to go to the root causeof the problem why Cuba is a country on therun. Only by identifying the deep causes andusing creativity for the solution will preventthis escapism to become a rooted nationaltradition.We believe that first thing is to make a call tothe conscience of each citizen. The problemsof Cuba have a solution first here and withthe help of everyone there. Father FélixVarela, founder of our nationality used to sayvery skilfully and with an impressive validity:“When the best children of one countryabandon the public thing, this is dealt withby the worst children of the country”. It’s notabout knowing who’s who. It takes all sortsto make a world and that’s not the point. Theones who have or promote a civic, political,religious or humanitarian vocation in Cubashould promote the attachment to theFatherland and should disregard the escapefrom the country as a reaction to therepression and the control that such vocationleads to in a system like ours.It’s not about denying the right to travel,emigrate, even the political exile as alegitimate resource for any person or familythat making an ethical discernment goes tothe extreme to consider that his life or thelives of their relatives are in real danger orhe feels in such a way pursued that he looseshis psychological or spiritual stability. We arein favour of the economic emigration and thepolitical exile as a right and as an extremeresource.It is necessary to identify the major andprimary cause, which is not the escapistconscience of the citizens but the internaland fundamentalist blockade that theyreceive from the ones who hold power in thecountry. That is the deepest cause and theroot cause why Cuba has turned into acountry on the run after being a countrywhich used to receive migrations.If this is the cause then Cuba will only beable to stop this capillary bleeding by havinga “surgery” on time, by removing the reasonand the cause of the external and internalexile of the ones who alienate themselves andrenounce their own freedom and responsibility:the blockade to the initiative of citizens.But there is a question that arises and it couldbe: Is this the process of discernment thatmakes the majority of Cubans, women and menthat desperately long for escaping to any place,taking any risk?An expected and wished answer is that apartfrom the major cause, each person may bewilling to stay in Cuba, to work for thetransition to democracy, to the economicopening up, to social pluralism. That eachperson may choose to consciously stay withoutselling his soul and without shutting up hisvoice, peacefully; working for making possiblewhat appears impossible; believing in thepower of the smallness, in the usefulness ofvirtue, in the gradualism of the civic processes,behaving with personal freedom andresponsibility.The exile will stop. Immigration will be theother way around; the Nation will heal itswounds the day when the totalitarian structurechanges; the day it frees the productivecapacities; the day it fires the policeman whodwells inside every Cuban citizen; thepoliceman that invents the nightmares thatblockade the best dreams of prosperity andhappiness.We believe that Cuba, the Cubans from allshores, have more than enough creativepotential, enterprising mood, recovery capacity,love for their Island, wishes to undertake theblocked future and freely work with their minds,their hands and all their souls, for thereconstruction of the most beautiful andblocked land that a human eye has been able tosee.Let’s build, let’s conjugate the grammar of theinclusion and consensus, the politicaldemocracy and the freedom for the economicinitiative and the decriminalization of social andcultural pluralism, then Cuba will stop being acountry on the run and will turn, little by littleinto a national Home which may make thealways remembered prophecy from Ezekielcome true day after day:Ediciones <strong>Convivencia</strong>Pinar del Río. 201247
“For I will take you from among the nations,Gather you out of all countriesAnd bring you into your own landThen I will sprinkle clean water on youAnd you shall be cleanI will give you a new heartAnd put a new spirit within you.Then you shall dwell in the land that I gaveto your fathersI will deliver you from all your uncleanness.I will call for the grain and multiply itAnd bring no famine upon youAnd I will multiply the fruit of your treesAnd the increase of your fieldsso that you need never again bear thereproach of famine among the nations.I will inspire my spirit among youAnd you shall live again.And I will settle you on your landAnd you will then know that I, Jeovah,Say it and put it as my work.(Ezekiel 36)Pinar del Río, 4 th of August 2009.Ediciones <strong>Convivencia</strong>Pinar del Río. 201248
