Our reality!

in #esteem5 years ago

A reality that destroys our hearts and the lives of many Venezuelans. There are states where there is no light for 2 days, nobody knows what happens, but you know while I am here complaining and more than 80 people have lost their lives because in the hospital where they were there is no light.

It is incredible that a country with the hydrocarbon reserve that Venezuela has is living all this. We are in darkness, unable to communicate and with a latent fear of knowing what will happen. Taking advantage of the moments where there is light and Internet. Receiving messages from family who are out of the country to know how we are doing.

It is not easy to say what we feel due to the situation in the country. Here in my house we have only been 8 or 9 hours without electricity, but if we have been more time without telephone signal and without Internet.

The images were taken from the internet.

What do you think of what is happening in Venezuela?.

I am so sorry to hear what is happening in Venezuela. You mentioned the abundance of hydrocarbon resources. The population is educated, as well. So how did this happen? The culprit can only be government. Bad decisions have impoverished a rich nation. Finger pointing and blame game are now in full swing. This of course helps no one. I hope the people of Venezuela can get a fresh start and work their way out of this mess. Good luck to you all.

Also lets not forget outside influence and intervention, sometimes for the good and many other times for the bad.

When I mentioned bad governmental decisions, it encompasses all of that. Failing to get along with your neighbors and fomenting conflicts you can't win is an example of bad governmental decisions that the populace is stuck with when the bill shows up.

If this is the case, then the Venezuelan Gov. is basically screwed... Chilean President Salvador Allende is but one example of outside intervention in Latin America which was totally out of that country’s control or decision...

That would be one example of when the idea that people create their own hell was not completely true. You can always find an exception to the rule. Pointing to the outlier does not negate the trend

So sorry, dear friend! Day by day I read about what happens in your country on newspaper online and I'm so sorry for you and for all people who live there.
I really hope that everything will be better soon. A warm hug to the people of Venezuel, be strong!

Thank you very much dear Silvia. All this seems a terrible nightmare, so many people dying every day for everything that happens here.

I am trying to keep up with what is going on there... One side blames the other side. I worry that this will get worse before it gets better. Thinking of you.

Little is what I know because when there is light there is no Internet and so we go. But the little I read is that the lack of maintenance has made everything stop working. Have been difficult days! I hope you are well❤

It is being reported here that there is no end in sight because all the competent workers who would know how to restart the turbines and fix the problem, have left because of low wages. Be safe.

Just that was listening on a radio show, apparently everything is getting worse

I am very worried for you.

Quiet. Here there have been not so much power cuts as in other states of the country. Saturday was the longest that was like 16 or 17 hours without light. Yesterday it has not left and today neither what comes and goes is the internet

Are you preparing for more power outages? Are the things you can do to be ready?

I have the flashlight charging and I am also charging my cell phone. It is horrible to be so many hours without light!
