Today was a festive day in Spain, or National Day of Spain, known in Spanish as Día de la Hispanidad... It should be one of the biggest holidays in the country, but somehow I didn't get that feeling... When we celebrate Christmas, New Year, or some other festive, all stores are closed, people are with families, etc. But today, many supermarkets were open and working for a whole day...

I suppose that happened as Spaniards (or lawmakers in Spain) wanted to connect the National Day with the conquering of America from the past... So, in some way, what Spaniards are celebrating as a "positive day", is viewed completely opposite by countries that were conquered by Spaniards in the past... I suppose that saying “history is written by the victors” is very valid in this case...
All that made me think about how things were done in the past, how they look at the present, and what the future brings to us... Can we make a difference, how we can do it, what needs to be done, etc? Of course, HIVE can be a valuable tool for shaping the future as it is already shaping the present for many people!
