Llegó navidad, época de reflexión y balances, de poner en perspectiva tus logros y fracasos durante el año que llega a su final. Tiempo para el perdón y la reconciliación, para sanar las heridas y procurar el bien común. Y aunque un aire de paz y energía positiva nos invade, también para algunos (como en mi caso) la nostalgia llega para recordarnos que Venezuela sigue un año más sumergida en una crisis general terrible que acentúa las desigualdades sociales y desnivela la balanza en las clases sociales.
Christmas has arrived, a time for reflection and assessments, to put your achievements and failures in perspective during the year that comes to an end. Time for forgiveness and reconciliation, to heal wounds and seek the common good. Although an air of peace and positive energy invades us, also for some (as in my case) nostalgia comes to remind us that Venezuela is still one more year submerged in a terrible general crisis that accentuates social inequalities and unbalances the balance in the classes. social.
Los profesores, médicos, ingenieros y otros profesionales que dependemos de un cargo público nos ubicamos cómodamente al final de la pirámide con el mas bajo nivel adquisitivo posible dependiendo de cualquier rebusque o tarea que se nos presente para intentar resolver las hallacas del 24 o el regalito del niño Jesús para nuestros niños que precisamente por serlo(niños) no asimilan aún la magnitud de la tragedia de país en la que viven.
Professors, doctors, engineers and other professionals who depend on a public office are located "comfortably" at the end of the pyramid with the lowest possible purchasing power; we depending on any gig or odd job that comes our way to try to provide for Xmas Day dinner or a little Xmas present for our children who because of their inocence do not yet assimilate the magnitude of the tragedy of the country they live in.
Los estrenos ya pasaron a ser palabras mayores y en esta economía dolarizada dependen de algún remate navideño de última hora o de las remesas que envíe algún familiar del extranjero, ya que cada familia por lo menos un lugar vacío en la mesa tendrá por culpa de la diáspora.
Wearing new clothes became big words and in this dollarized economy they depend on some last-minute Christmas special or the remittances sent by a relative from abroad, since each family will have at least one empty place at the table because of the diaspora.
Las redes sociales, el gran invento de estos tiempos nos permite estrechar la distancia y reforzar los lazos afectivos con esos familiares que se han ido en busca de un mejor porvenir, pero por la sobre-exposición nos desvían un poco del verdadero sentimiento de la navidad y nos muestran eso que ni hace falta para lucir mejor o sentirnos acorde con la moda del momento.
Social networks, the great invention of these times, allow us to narrow the distance and strengthen emotional ties with those relatives who have left in search of a better future. However, due to overexposure they deviate a bit from the true feeling of Christmas and they show us what it is not necessary to look better or feel in line with the fashion of the moment.
Finalmente, el Covid-19 que llegó ya hace casi dos años y parece que para quedarse. Nos obliga a ser un poco más precavidos y evitar los excesos ya que no tenemos ni los recursos ni la infraestructura para combatirlo, ni siquiera para hacerle frente. Sin embargo, aún permanece ese poquito de fe, esa sensación de que algo bueno tiene que pasar, esa esperanza de que este sea el año final de la mengua para el venezolano, ya sin eso ni respirar podríamos.
Finally, the Covid-19 that arrived almost two years ago and seems to be here to stay,forces us to be a little more cautious and avoid excesses since we have neither the resources nor the infrastructure to combat it, or even to face it. However, that little bit of faith still remains, that feeling that something good has to happen, that hope that this is the final year of decline for the Venezuelan, and without that we could not even breathe.

I could not agree more, my dear friend. The sense of loss is inevitable, and the prospects of better times are slim, judging by how things are going here and elsewhere.
Keep working; keep trying; keep being one of the good ones.
Thanks, @hlezama
One tries to do what one can, but with so many obstacles, feeling paralyzed sometimes is inevitable.
I understand better now why the whole country does not start. They did well making people feel isolated and hopeless.
Christmas makes us renovate that hope.
