Vivimos en una continúa postergación de tareas y planes porque pensamos que el mañana está asegurado, nos sentimos tan seguros que estaremos vivos dentro de unos minutos, horas, días, semanas, meses y años, que nos volvemos procrastinadores compulsivos, pero la verdad es que el mañana y el futuro son muy inciertos y no sabemos si estaremos o no.
We live in a continuous procrastination of tasks and plans because we think that tomorrow is assured, we feel so sure that we will be alive in a few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years, that we become compulsive procrastinators, but the truth is that tomorrow and the future are very uncertain and we do not know if we will be or not.
Hoy me encuentro muy conmocionado porque me he puesto a reflexionar sobre este tema, definitivamente somos los escritores de nuestro destino, nada por casualidad todo es una causa de algo, sin embargo existe una cosa en la vida que llega repentinamente y es la muerte; cuando llega, llega, y no hay nada que se pueda hacer para zafarse de ella. Ni moviendo cielo y tierra se puede realizar alguna acción que pueda alterar algo que ya está escrito en el libro de la vida, es parte del camino y no se puede cambiar, duele y pega mucho cuando pasa de manera repentina y más cuando lo acompaña un suceso trágico, pero eso marca el final de un camino que se pudo o no aprovechar lo más que se pudo.
Este post lo hago porque desde la semana pasada he visto algo que me ha impactado bastante, a veces la vida regala una segunda oportunidad para entrar en si y saber dónde realmente nos encontramos y que es lo que verdaderamente tiene valor. El día viernes hubo dos accidentes bajando de Caracas a La Guaira, uno de ellos fue en una zona llamada 10 de marzo, una gandola se llevó a cinco carros dejándolos destruidos, hubo heridos graves pero hasta ahora no se ha informado sobre algún muerto, no lo presencié pero si ví vídeo de todo, fue muy feo, por un momento me imaginé siendo uno de los afectados y la verdad se me pusieron los pelos de punta, personas que seguro en la mayoría iban a la playa a disfrutar, terminaron viviendo una historia de terror de un momento a otro.
Today I am very shocked because I have started to reflect on this subject, definitely we are the writers of our destiny, nothing by chance everything is a cause of something, however there is one thing in life that comes suddenly and it is death; when it comes, it comes, and there is nothing you can do to get rid of it. Not even moving heaven and earth can make any action that can alter something that is already written in the book of life, it is part of the way and can not be changed, it hurts and hits a lot when it happens suddenly and more when accompanied by a tragic event, but that marks the end of a path that could or could not take advantage of as much as possible.
I am writing this post because since last week I have seen something that has had a great impact on me, sometimes life gives us a second chance to come to our senses and to know where we really are and what is truly valuable. On Friday there were two accidents going down from Caracas to La Guaira, one of them was in an area called 10 de marzo, a truck took five cars leaving them destroyed, there were serious injuries but so far there have been no reports of any deaths, I did not witness it but I saw video of everything, it was very ugly, for a moment I imagined myself being one of those affected and the truth made my hair stand on end, people that surely most of them were going to the beach to enjoy themselves, ended up living a horror story from one moment to the next.
En la tarde cuando bajaba del trabajo de repente nos agarró una cola fastidiosa, cuando vamos pasando por uno de los viaductos nos quedamos todos sorprendidos en el autobús. Dos camionetas que iban en dirección contraria chicharon de frente y se llevaron un poste de luz por el medio. Ambos vehículos quedaron con la parte frontal súper destrozada, mientras que los tripulantes habían quedado en condiciones muy malas. Unos estaban tirados en el piso con la ropa rasgada y ensangrentados, otro de ellos, una persona bastante mayor, estaba sobre una acera siendo atentos por una paramédico, se veía como le chorreaba la sangre por la cabeza; hubo uno que me impactó mucho y es que estaba sentado en el suelo con la pierna doblada, solo había visto eso por videos, no en persona, me impresionó mucho.
Cómo comenté más arriba, todos en el bus quedamos impresionados, y cuando avanzó el bus hubo silencio total, me imagino que más de uno se puso a pensar lo mismo que yo "volvieron a nacer", afortunadamente las perdidas solo fueron materiales, pero se salvaron de milagro.
In the afternoon when I was coming down from work we were suddenly caught in an annoying queue, when we were going through one of the viaducts we were all surprised on the bus. Two trucks going in the opposite direction crashed head on and took out a light pole in the middle. Both vehicles were left with their front ends destroyed, while the crew members were left in very bad conditions. Some of them were lying on the ground with torn and bloody clothes, another of them, a fairly old person, was on a sidewalk being attended by a paramedic, you could see how blood was dripping from his head; there was one that shocked me a lot and he was sitting on the ground with his leg bent, I had only seen that on videos, not in person, I was very impressed.
As I mentioned above, everyone on the bus was impressed, and when the bus moved forward there was total silence, I imagine that more than one person thought the same as me "they were born again", fortunately the losses were only material, but they were saved by a miracle.
Hoy cuando llegamos a la Guaira nos encontramos una cola bastante larga, habían cerrado la avenida principal y se colapsó todo. Cuando vamos avanzando poco a poco nos percatamos que un autobús había chocado contra una pasarela y la tumbó, lo loco fue la posición y lo que tuvo pasar para que eso ocurriera, no no los explicábamos. Lo cierto es que tuvo que haber sido algo bastante desesperante porque fue en la avenida principal, la concurrencia de carros es enorme porque está prácticamente en la entrada de La Guaira. Afortunadamente también no hubo perdida humana, no nos explicamos como.
Today when we arrived at Guaira we found a long queue, they had closed the main avenue and everything collapsed. When we were advancing little by little we realized that a bus had crashed against a footbridge and knocked it down, the crazy thing was the position and what had to happen for that to happen, we could not explain it. The truth is that it must have been something quite desperate because it was on the main avenue, the concurrence of cars is huge because it is practically at the entrance of La Guaira. Fortunately there was no human loss, we can't explain how.
Luego mientras subía a la casa me puse a reflexionar sobre esto, la vida se puede ir en cuestión de segundos y nosotros creemos que es algo seguro. A pesar que no hubo muertos en esos accidentes, conozco de muchos dónde si han habido muchas pérdidas humana. Por lo menos hace años le cayó una pasarela a una camioneta que venía con 6 personas, entre ellos 3 niños, todos iban a la playa a disfrutar pero jamás llegaron...
Then while I was going up to the house I started to reflect on this, life can be gone in a matter of seconds and we believe that it is a sure thing. Although there were no deaths in these accidents, I know of many where there have been many human losses. At least a few years ago a footbridge fell on a van that was carrying 6 people, among them 3 children, all of them were going to the beach to enjoy themselves but they never arrived...
Es difícil ver este tipo de cosas y no quedarte pensando en "pude haber estado allí". Día a día estamos expuestos a qué algo así pueda suceder, un accidente que nos quite la vida o que nos haga volver a nacer, y aún así somos tan incrédulos en creer que el mañana está seguro.
It's hard to see this kind of thing and not be left thinking "I could have been there ". Day by day we are exposed to something like this happening, an accident that could take our lives or cause us to be born again, and yet we are so incredulous in believing that tomorrow is safe.
Puede sonar algo cliché pero eso de vive como si fuera el último día, ama como si no hubiera un mañana, perdona, sonrie, come bueno, no dejes para mañana lo que puedes hacer, cobra mucha relevancia cuando presenciamos algo tan feo como esto, literalmente de un momento a otro, en cuestión de microsegundos la vida te puede cambiar o perderla. Así que amigos, no hay momento para el mañana porque no sabemos si llegará, las mejores cosas en la vida son las más sencillas y debemos prestar más atención. Amemos, abracemos a nuestros seres queridos, comamonos esa tunjuta que queremos, hazte el cambio de look que deseas, ve a la playa, a la montaña, dónde desees, pero vive, vivamos que hoy estamos, pero mañana... No sabemos.
It may sound a bit cliché, but that "live as if it were the last day, love as if there were no tomorrow, forgive, smile, eat well, do not leave for tomorrow what you can do" becomes very relevant when we witness something as ugly as this, literally from one moment to the next, in a matter of microseconds life can change or lose it. So friends, there is no time for tomorrow because we don't know if it will come, the best things in life are the simplest and we should pay more attention. Let's love, let's embrace our loved ones, let's eat that tunjuta we want, get the makeover you want, go to the beach, to the mountains, wherever you want, but live, let's live that today we are, but tomorrow? We do not know.
