I feel like a shadow of my own people. They built so many churches, the Lusitanian people were better at navigation than the Spanish, and we conquered the Americas faster than anyone. Brazil is bigger because we were able to penetrate the Amazon forest with ease, while the Spaniards couldn’t. My people also built countless crosses all over the world—there’s a good chance that if you go on a boat trip, you’ll see a cross in the middle of some remote island.
Once, I entered an old church in my country and felt such joy—I wanted to build great things like that. But to this day, I feel completely lost. I don’t know how I can accomplish great things like my people did in the past.
