Lack of knowledge, or the absence of exposure to the world is usually filled in by ignorance or illogical reasoning or in many times a generalized identity. We as people surround ourselves by basic pictures which represent our background in which we use them to identify one another. But there is one thing we don't acknowledge, many of these identities are seen incorrectly. This is the case for Latin America.
Daniel Alarcon, a peruvian writer represents the broken image that we associate ourselves to. A multilateral heritage which has inevitably led to his misinterpretation and a personal lack of confidence. From the example demonstrated in the book where the old lady was misled and wanted to believe that he had prospered having come from a poor family which was all false, to his own personal views on how he regard life. Always looking down at things instead of appreciating the good of what has come.
This issue tends to influence our global image as we constantly corrupt it by tinting it with black ink. We throw layer after layer of misinterpreted thoughts and ideas that eventually we as people produce a whole new idea which is completely irrelevant to the reality that exists behind that image. We paint what we want see and we teach what we want to know but the real truth is redirected and forgot. And for those who are associated with that image hide behind it because its not the truth that people see, its the black ink that they painted on it.
