Hopelessness (ENG / SPN)


IMG_20221028_152146.jpg

Ten days have passed. Ten days of misery, pain, and desolation. Ten days during which we Venezuelans have witnessed and endured the vilest, cruelest, and most atrocious aspects of humanity. Ten days during which many people and animals could have been saved but were not, due to the wickedness of others, and this is something we must never—and cannot—forget. Uncertainty grows; hope fades.


Diez días han pasado. Diez días de desgracia, dolor, desolación. Diez días en que los venezolanos hemos visto y sufrido lo más vil, lo más cruel y atroz del ser humano. Diez días en que muchas personas y animales podrían haber sido salvados y no lo fueron, debido a la maldad de otros, y esto es algo que nunca debemos ni podemos olvidar. La incertidumbre aumenta, las esperanzas disminuyen.

There are miracles—yes, of course, there are extraordinary situations that bear witness to God’s love and human resilience—but at this point, and given this level of destruction, what I personally feel is a profound sense of hopelessness. I analyze the situation and cannot see a way for our country to recover; there is hardly any room left for normalcy.

Hay milagros, sí, claro, hay situaciones fuera de lo común que evidencian el amor de Dios y la persistencia del ser humano, pero en este punto, y con este nivel de destrucción, yo, en lo particular lo que siento es una enorme desesperanza. Y es que analizo y no le encuentro la manera de que nuestro país pueda componerse, y es que no hay casi resquicio para lo normal.

And although I have always been resilient—even with my dark days and moments of depression—I have always seen a solution to problems; but today I don't see it. Today, I feel and see only HOPELESSNESS.

Y aunque siempre he sido resiliente, aún con mis días oscuros y con mis momentos depresivos, siempre le he visto la solución a los problemas, pero hoy no lo veo, hoy sólo siento y veo DESESPERANZA.

I think very few people can understand what you've been through, so, I can't and don't. But, I'll say this, you actually just gave me hope with your words...

Hay milagros, sí, claro, hay situaciones fuera de lo común que evidencian el amor de Dios y la persistencia del ser humano.

To read that from you, someone going through what you're going through right now, is very encouraging. Please try to find hope in your own words.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. - Robert Frost, poet

Thank you very much for stopping by and for your wise words. I suppose I am going through a dark time right now—a very dark one. It isn't because I’ve lost my home or my family, but I am pained by what is happening to my people and my country; witnessing so much death and destruction, as well as such disgrace and evil, inevitably affects you—both as an individual and as part of a nation.

I also suppose that, eventually, time will move on and life will go on, and everything will become more bearable.

@sirenahippie...

I sit here in my bedroom. 10:50 AM on this Sunday, 7/5/26... As I first read this post yesterday. I was sitting at the kitchen table with my mother and fiancé, eating dinner. At the same time, everyone around was celebrating the 250th Independence Day of our country. I was reading someone's heartfelt emotions about a country that had no independence. Your words are powerful and convey the very mindset that I am sure many have around you...

We had some storms yesterday... some were pretty bad, but nothing in comparison to earthquakes. Listen... the main foundational mindset of my TAG and community creation was for folks to know they were not alone with whatever it was they were experiencing, and to have a space they could share, as well as see others sharing their own journeys. I am hopeful that this day has brought you a small bit of hope... Let me just reach out to some like-minded folks who would most certainly know what I was trying to express... @crrdlx is one of those dear souls. He has always been a strong force on our blockchain. I should wrap this up for now, as it is time for me to take care of the many things I help with around the house to try and help my fiancé care for my mother... Sending you out extra love, strength, and clear thinking...

Hi my dear @wesphilbin

The space you’ve created on the blockchain is wonderful, and yes—I’ve felt accompanied and have sensed that ray of hope you’re sending my way. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read my posts and extending a bit of love and hope from afar.

I still feel a great deal of sadness, but I am trying to trust more in God and His infinite love. I hope that, in the end, we all find comfort and are able to rebuild our lives.

@sirenahippie...

Then I've accomplished what I started. I'm not able to interact like I used to. But knowing you feel a positive connection, puts a smile on my face. This also qualifies as a @topcomment !!
