Eternal Recurrence is a concept that the universe, all existence and energy has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time and space.
Frozen in time, Cuba is a utopia, an idea of a communist society that could be perfect, but for its relationship of love and hate with its great American neighbour.
It’s been a few years since the passing of Fidel Castro.
My last trip to Cuba made me realise that nothing has changed since Fidel's brother, Raul, inherited power. Major changes are yet to come when Raul steps down. The nature of those changes, however, will also depend on the palpably fragile relationship with United States.
The lack of communication with the rest of the world keeps Cuba isolated from the world. Instead of Netflix, they share in a usb drive among friends a compilation of random chapter series every week, from Game of Thrones to Korean Dramas. They call it “El paquete”.
Since the reinstatement of the relations with Washington, the Cuban government has repeatedly stated that it will hold talks on any topic the U. S. While there hasn't been much progress, both governments have already begun discussions on thorny issues like human rights, fugitives and repatriations for the U. S. citizens whose property was seized after the Cuban Revolution.
