Thank you, dear @marcybetancourt, for your appreciation and words.

I understand your impression completely. Those weird attitudes were exactly the things I tried to change some years ago when I joined the directorate of the Esperanto Association in my country, Venezuela.

I strove so hard to impulse some cultural initiatives that could guide the Esperanto activists along a better and wiser way. But I had to resign my efforts because the traditional movement don't want to hear about its problems.

Your right. It's a toxic pride and self-referentiality that shows they are not willing to look at the world's problems and needs. They only want to be seen and they don't want to see. That makes them annoying and highly deluded people.

But, as I said, that's not the heart of Esperanto; that's only its sickness. I hope that you'll get to see, soon, the real beautiful heart of the humanitist movement.
