Respectable greetings from Colombia Mr.

Relating to the article you recently published, after reading and analizing it, i want to share my
opinion respect your words taking base on the idea that your thought do not apply to all the
countries, and as teenager my country does not apply to your list so let me respectly explain you
the reasons throught this text.

Here in Colombia we are the kind of people that likes to warm up the situations we are very
expressive and we like to hug and kiss the ones that we love, I reckon that the way we are and our
reality is different in this moments and it does not makes us happy or even comfortable.

Also, we are a third worl country, it means that our country is not as developed as yours, what i
am trying to say with this, is that we have more and differents problems the kind you would never
mind to have, problems, clearly, are not a mening or happiness.

In the other side of the coin, me, as a teenager, I consider here in my country, young people have
less opotunities than the ones that the youth would have in a richer and more organized country,
as a cause of it, we are more competitive between us and we prefer not to have contact with
others, that is my case and really i do not feel happy living with that situation going to the
opposite pole, elder people are not happy the percent of families that prefer to abandon their
elder person is very high and we do not have the enough resources to handle with it, suffering by
the ausence of some basic products or oportunities does not make anybody happy.

At the end of the day, I hope I have shown you a different point of view and in consequence I hope
you think different, considering different points of view and understanding different realities to
make your articles more inclusive.

Best regards.

Valentina Roldán Silva.
