OPINION. Courage. Brazil is that.
There is an impressive number of people who are inconsolable with the election result. Some seem genuinely depressed. Others display a despair that is usually reserved for the loss of a loved one. Some people talk about leaving the country, others have lost the will to invest, and some even seem to have given up working.
Brazilian lawyer Luiz Gustavo Bichara reflects on the country's post-election sentiment, where many are distraught over the outcome. He argues that while governments do make a difference, the country's deep-seated issues, such as bureaucracy and a large state, are unlikely to change. Bichara cites entrepreneur Beto Sicupira, who noted that Brazil's cultural characteristics, including a lack of accountability and impunity, are unlikely to shift.
Bichara advises focusing on what individuals can control, such as their businesses and personal growth, rather than becoming overly emotional about the election results.
