“Do the wise thing and the kind thing too, and make the best of us and not the worst”
Charles Dickens, “Hard Times”
We were dreaming of a beautiful world for everyone. They said: “It is forbidden to dream!”. Indeed, we are living in hard times dear audience.
We continue to do the things that we used to, to speak, to shout about the facts in which we believe in, and to correct ourselves if we are wrong. We are gathering together again this year when our doubts are high, to strengthen our bonds with each other and with what we believe in, to see the reality beyond the conspiracy theories.
We are hosting, for the 13th time, in these hard times, the Green Dialogue.
