Lifestyles

Venezuelans have had difficulties during its history, which are solved by solidarity and hard work. The routine is overwhelming, sad and in some cases, depressing. Fighting these facts is an everyday homework, searching the positive day-by-day aspects. For example solidarity is expressed in social media, making bonds with neighbors who are the closest relative in a random situation, Family as an interdependent group, friendships from a long time, other.

Venezuela had hard moments in its past, a direct consequence from wars during the XIX and beginning of the XX centuries, the population had goals – considered as important – being hardworking for everyday meal and the emigration options was not in the table. Since the 1980’s, emigration is growing up because the Country stopped giving opportunities in specific fields like investigation, with a negative consequence of going backwards.

The oil rent dependence since 1936 has suffered ups and downs and since the beginning of this decade, the prices are down. It is true Democracy has many accomplishments improving infrastructure and education, but it has been a mistake be dependant of the oil rent and derived, stepping aside the primary and secondary sectors of economy have increased the imports and the reduction of competitiveness in order to earn the income by non petroleum exportations.  The tax and gasoline selling collection should have been in the Country benefit, not for temporary partisan lines.

It’s necessary to create awareness of individual effort value as lifestyle, in order to get a collective positive result. Keep the concept of the Benefactor State – almost everything gratuity – it’s unreal and perverse, and also thinking of having non-transparent contracts with Governments it’s the key of social advance. Opportunities must be based to reduce the forced emigration – social security, economic freedom, rule of law – with the private sector collaboration.

Envy, resentment, revenge and selfishness are the key to go down. Team work, honesty, self-reliance and perseverance are the key to grow up in all national life aspects.
