LETTER<br />
As we all<br />
know, Palmas<br />
is going<br />
through one<br />
of the most<br />
progressive moments in many years. Property values<br />
are up, and there is new construction as well as exciting<br />
projects in the pipeline. Our school, The Palmas<br />
Academy, that suffered greatly from Hurricane Maria,<br />
(as well as our community in general) is recovering by<br />
leaps and bounds. The Palmas Athletic Club (known<br />
as PAC) is at its best; the tennis center is always full of<br />
enthusiastic tennis and pickleball players. On the other<br />
hand, our golf courses are in optimal condition and<br />
important tournaments have already been held this<br />
year and more are scheduled to be held. But all progress<br />
is accompanied by small problems or situations<br />
inherent to the human condition. In Palmas, as in other<br />
regions of PR, many families have settled, both local and<br />
from different regions of the United States and abroad.<br />
We are human beings born and raised with different traditions,<br />
customs, environments, cultures, languages, and<br />
often different religions—this can cause conflicts. But we<br />
must always remember that at the end of the day, we are<br />
all the same; our blood is red (although some believe<br />
theirs is blue) and our skeleton is the same (some larger<br />
than others), our skin is lighter or darker, eventually it<br />
gets old and wrinkled just the same. However, sometimes<br />
we fight over little things because we think that<br />
our way of thinking and doing things is correct and the<br />
only way. We do not realize that the way we think is a<br />
product of how and where we were raised and not that<br />
we are sole keepers of the truth. Let’s learn from each<br />
other without trying to impose our ‘truth’ because at the<br />
end of the day we win when we learn that ‘my way’ is not<br />
always ‘the way’.<br />
