From ancient times Language has had an evolving and dynamic
process of development. Going through wars, political breaking paradigms, a red
western dragon who is trying to eat the world and an extinction of languages
because of their lack of native speakers, Language deals with a steadfast
change.
As a sort of thinking, in life it must be taken
several decisions in order to achieve something while living. One of those
decisions is to pick a “BFF” (which
stands for Best Friends Forever). It is quite important, especially if you want
to reach a valuable goal, whether in group or individually, to get something in
the near future. You might wonder …Why is it important to have a VFF? Simple. Because
we cannot walk alone. As a famous quotation from French
philosopher Albert Camus maintains “Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in
front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.”
A BFF is an arbitrary designation that a person,
ladies most of the time, do in order to trust in each other. As Venezuelan I am
friendly enough to let you know that in our land we reach a hand if someone
needs it. Unfortunately, our current situation as a nation has shown an
upside-down version of this picture. Not from Venezuela as a whole or as
Venezuelans acting different with others as well but the little world WITH
Venezuela. No one has reached a hand, a “peace process”
(like in Colombia) or has brought their flags in order to support a future
battle on the field (like in Game of Thrones)
while the roughest moment in our history is the one we are dealing with.
Currently, people is leaving the nation, making easy
money illegally out of everything and even saying goodbye to their relatives at
airports or bus stations across the country as a last sigh before breathing
under this ocean of mistakes. Come on, “VFF”! we must be better than that. For
those who are leaving there are no complaints about since it is a generation
who has lost a remarkable future that was promised and expected but was stolen
and vanished from the desire of the Big Brother. From those who are making easy
money out of anyone in every way, I would like to recall them that in the past
our Liberator Simon Bolivar declared and signed a file titled Decree of War to the Death in order to
give a final choice to population, “fight with me or against me”. I declare to
you: stop acting in such manner and start improving as equals of this planet
and study and be better citizens or simply go to hel…I mean! Heck! I mean Jail!
Go to Jail! Yes! That is the word.
Finally, for those who are saying goodbye with sorrow
(because are not flying away with their little puppies) or have no ways to get
out of this reality, I just remained them that this “VFF” would not leave them.
Until the end of time, from the beginning of life, elders have had and believed
in the magic of “hope is the last to die” sentence. The Venezuelan Force Faith must
dance with us at all parties, drinking a glass of wine or screaming of joy
while caring about our babies smiling in arms. While teaching a kid how to read
or building a solid foundation of kindness and spirit for his comrades, this
VFF always will have a hand to tell you…
-“Keep walking, my friend. Keep walking.”-
How lucky we are to have such VFF. Let’s walk too!
