Apathetic Venezuela.
Today I write as a Venezuelan mother, and I really need to vent the great pain that I feel, in view of the recent events in my country, no matter how much they say that Oscar Pérez and his group were a showman, they did not deserve to die in the way that vilely They murdered them, perhaps the pregnant young woman who was in the place, supporting her husband and her ideals, was she also a showsera and for that reason she deserved to die like that ?, and the baby she had in her womb, who was not even given the opportunity to be born, was it also necessary to blind his life just because his father thought differently to those who govern the country? Well, no, gentlemen, this murderous murder is not justified, it does not matter if we were or not according to their actions, they were beings humans. But what hurts the most is the indifference of Venezuelans to the pain of others.
Today I go out into the streets of my community and what I get, are people plunged into a gigantic pessimism, and above all plunged into an abysmal conformism, which sad to hear a person say, "well after 6 hours at least buy 2 flours" , Why should we settle for 2 flours, even if we have to fall to shoves and blows ?, I simply was not born that day.
Without realizing it, we Venezuelans are the ones in power, who today believe they have the right to tell you what and when to eat, where is the Venezuelan who claimed his rights, or is it with everything we are living? , they do not realize that they are violating the most important right at the universal level, as is the right to life, gentlemen.
Venezuelan reacts do not keep allowing so much abuse, do not let them fill your mind with that fear and pessimism so destructive. I am saddened to see how my neighbors prefer to keep quiet, for fear of losing the "CLAP bag", is it that their children eat every 4 months that the government wants to send the stock market? It is unworthy to hear a mother complain because her son is leaving or leaving the country, do you think it is easy to make the decision to leave everything and have to start from scratch ?, but when your son went out to protest, to demand a better future for him and the rest of the family, why did not you support him ?, you preferred to remain silent to continue benefiting from the corrupt people who govern the country, because your silence makes you an accomplice of all this tragedy. Today I feel a big lump in the throat because, after leaving many times with my husband to fight and make our voices heard, for the future of our daughters, leaving them with a relative for long hours, with the promise of that soon we will give them a better country, how do I tell them today that dad is thinking of emigrating ?, because it is already difficult for us to endure this economic crisis, and that we will be separated until he can come for us. It sounds so easy, but for me this dilemma is so complex between letting my husband leave, knowing that soon it will be up to me to abandon not only the country I love, but abandon my family, or stay fighting, running the risk of not get to see results, for the simple fact of living in a society so beaten, that has lost even confidence in itself, because if something I am more than certain, is that if we knew the great strength that we would have real uniting, this Nightmare would have ended already. Excuse anyone who may feel alluded to, but as the song by Gilberto Santa Rosa says, "if I do not say it now, I bust." For today I say goodbye to you, full of sadness and uncertainty, leaving all my fears in the hands of everything that can and that is God. And to you, Venezuelan, I ask you to think, what are you doing to change so much tragedy in our country? Well, with sitting and complaining about the situation, about the one who left or who is thinking about leaving, you do not solve anything. he left the country looking for a better future is not guilty, and even being outside suffers equal or more than you.
Venezuela I love you! and it hurts me to think about getting away from you.
