I guess Castro foresaw this situation and desired it that he may be missed. To look to the brighter side whatever comes will definitely be better than where Cuba was not because Cuba didn’t fare well under Castro but because he forcefully negatived entirely the reality of human greed.

Yet, the challenge of adulthood is better than the mock security of childlike innocence.

Cuba’s major foreign exchange earner was its human resource. What with its battery of doctors with the efficiency of German doctors under Hitler.
