What a powerful story, full of historical reflections, as it shows how ignorance and a lack of strategic vision can turn natural abundance into a chain that binds our loved ones. I hesitated a lot when you described the transition from the "red gold" of agriculture to the "black gold" of oil, and how both became instruments of exploitation and dependence.

The metaphor of being slaves to our own gold symbolizes not only the history of colonization, but also the lasting consequences of corruption and resource mismanagement. It is sad to see how what could have been an engine of national prosperity could have become an instrument of enrichment for other nations.
