 Uma citação ouvida há uns dias atrás... e uma imagem para a ilustrar.

"You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs, is what he says. We thought we could do better. Better? I say, in a small voice. How can he think this is better?
Better never means better for everyone, he says. It always means worse, for some."
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

"The Commander has just asked Offred what she thinks about Gilead, but before she can answer, he offers a defense. In serving a greater good, he accepts the trade-off life in Gilead requires from those who do not have power. He takes no action to make life better for those without power. In Gilead, he has power, and powerful people tend to let inequalities stand if they source their power from making others powerless."
