IS YOUR REALITY THE SAME AS MINE?
Hey, guys, how you doing? Today I want to talk about a very interesting topic in my opinion, it's about the different realities in society today. As we all know the world is going through economic chaos, many countries are bankrupt or rather financially unbalanced.
I want to talk specifically about these Latin countries as it is from them that I know many realities.
Today with the quarantine many people have been affected, either because they became unemployed, because their businesses no longer sell the same or because they were victims of the virus. The truth is that in general we have been affected in one way or another.
All of this has led to increased levels of crime, violence, stress, anxiety levels, depression, suicides, and of course unemployment. These are states that few talk about but for most people they are a reality. Mental illnesses are present in many families, many try to cover the sun with a finger but the reality is different.
Many have had to go out into the streets to sell candy, bags, food, and even their own bodies in order to bring home some money. For others it is very easy to simply criticize because they do not share the same thought, but the truth is that hunger makes you do many things. In Venezuela in particular there are people dying of hunger, cases of malnutrition are very high in a large part of the population.
Not to mention crime, which is our daily bread. I don't justify it obviously but I don't share it either. Of course, there are those who do it for work and then there are those who do it out of real need. Sometimes it's better to think what that person went through to get there, or what his current situation will be that he was forced to steal for example.
There are many realities that we don't know...
An example of this is the explosion that happened recently in Colombia, specifically in the old town community, many will think that these people were doing there, because they were stealing this gasoline, some will see it as vandalism, but someone has asked how these people live? How do these people live? Do they have work, water, electricity, food? SURELY NOT!
I return and repeat that I do not justify an act like this, but I can understand that in a situation of hunger and desperation to have to feed a family a person is capable of doing such a thing. The situation here in Colombia is not easy either, there is too much poverty and unemployment, you can see that I am in the capital and I don't want to imagine what it will be like in rural areas.
For that and many other reasons I think it is best to inform ourselves before criticizing a situation or a person, since we do not know their realities.
Thanks for reading me!!

the situation is very difficult in Colombia, I know from several friends who live there and he tells me and poverty increases daily and with all this the virus becomes more acute the situation, hopefully you are different Latin American realities be overcome soon,we need it
Hello friend, yes I hope that happens soon too, especially with my beloved Venezuela! Greetings!
The pandemic just showed the difference between the wealth gap of the rich and the poor. The pandemic made the rich richer and the poor either poorer or dead. This plight is being faced in many nations and among several sets of people and if the economy of the country is plagued due to bad and corrupt leaders, then it becomes more evident to the lower class citizens.
You are absolutely right my friend, I agree with you, unfortunately it is the lower class who suffer the consequences of the acts of others!
Hi @franyeligonzalez. This pandemic has revealed the flaws of our economies which are based only on profit and on the ruthless competition that leads to underpaying and not protecting workers. Already before Covid there were unemployment problems and entire sectors in crisis in most countries of the world. The lockdown was the coup de grace. Hunger leads to do anything, it is our survival instinct. Before judging, we should put ourselves in the shoes of those who are so desperate to steal and think about how we would behave in the same situation. It's a bad time and I have no idea how we will get out of it, certainly all poorer than before.
I loved your comment, you are very right, they are situations and before judging we must analyze why, today many people are passing needs and it is very easy to criticize before putting themselves in the place of others!
I didn't hear from you in a long while @mikitaly
good to still have you around
Hi Piotr, it's true it's a bit that I don't publish, but I always take a look in the community to leave some comments.😜
People are really suffering and the pandemic has created more room for people to suffer the more, old and helpless people whose children have bee fired do not have any help from anywhere any longer.
@franyeligonzalez first of all very nice article no it is not possible we all have different kind of realities , but the main cause of that realities is same the covid-19 situation. Currently we are all facing this situation , we need to figure out how to deal with it without affecting.
Yes, you are quite right, the truth is that we all live in different realities and no one can judge anyone!

TrufflePigHi @franyeligonzalez
I agree with you, there are very marked differences in the realities of each person, far from justifying any vandalic act, I respect the situation or reasons for what they have done.
Excellent post, thanks for sharing.
Hello friend, we are not really anyone to judge others and even less if we don't know what their real reasons were! Thanks for coming by!
I really liked reading this article, I agree with you, in our country food and water supplies are worrying, and even more in this pandemic situation, it is not to be neglected. We already had many problems, electricity, water, security, in fact if you go to the country's interior you can see an incredible decline, we return to the country of crops at home, to horseback transport and to the water systems of grounds.
I agree with you, thanks for commenting!

yes it is so true that reality differ from person to person
In the current situation when there is so much stress and lack of opportunity one finds the rich have less to worry about than the poor and not so rich.
The factory owner who has a lot of money can still survive but what about the factory worker who lives on his weekly or monthly wage? things are really difficult for him
Yes friend, you are absolutely right, that is what many people do not understand, especially those who are financially stable because they have never had needs!
