HUMILITY

The true motivation to write about this girl, in the flower of her youth, who begins to see the light of the world full of problems, every day more entangled, taking the worst part young people, by advertising harassment, which does not let them rest the brain, creating vague illusions, and then getting lost in the wrong ways. Sometimes it is not one, but rather, the whole family submerged in vice networks or the dirty "trades", which every day lurk with more fierceness, leaving that dramatic picture of the Venezuelan prisons. The reason is very simple. One morning when the sun had already warmed up, I got to have a coffee; At the time I heard the voice of the young woman, with high self-esteem, her eyes almost closed in the middle of a smile: "I am an example for young people and that is what my mother taught me". His mother, who was very close, took advantage of the moment to approve the expression with a smile of satisfaction, knowing that he was rewarded for his daughter, while continuing to prepare the ingredients for the midday meal.

A few days passed, but what was said by the young lady, was still turning in my mind, for the moment that we are living, more, when at every moment we hear with a certain nostalgia and concern: values ​​have been lost! On one occasion I approached with the sole intention of talking to the girl, to investigate in depth about her personality, in front, seeing the faces, to try not to leave doubts about his statement and this was the response of the girl with great emotion , sitting in a dilapidated chair, while continuing to scrape some ears for the cachapas: "We are four brothers, from the age of 12 I am getting up early to work, when I asked my mom for a pencil and a notebook, she told us very seriously: I'm 22 years old and I'm studying initial education at the university "Simón Rodríguez." We all work and we've learned, that's how honest people are trained. "

This confession in a humble way, without any cover, free as the wind, expressed with great emotion, for feeling valuable, next to her mother helping her in the sale of food, earning her living in an honorable way, as it should be the north of every person, serves to think that not everything is darkness on the horizon. The hope of seeing young people on the path of study, work and respect is in teaching, from the very cradle of the home. For something in the common people, many times you hear a truth, typical of popular wisdom: "tree that grows crooked nothing straightens it." How do we stop a boy, when his mind begins to fill with unattainable illusions? It seems difficult, but the examples help. The one of this girl at first sight serves to learn and to teach, but not only to the young people, also to the adults, who have forgotten that very popular saying: "we have to wrap ourselves up to where the blanket reaches us" otherwise we will continue seeing in the red pages of newspapers, infinities of people, who do not learn this simple and valuable lesson mistaking the way to end up in jail, or the cemetery.
