TEÓDULO LÓPEZ MELÉNDEZ, Writer and Journalist - Caracas, Venezuela
A behavior pattern has settled down, that of the social hate, that of the violence, that of the lie, that of the scorn, that of a pathological individualism that, to give a seemingly secondary example, it doesn't support second fractions to play the bugle of the car without caring him nothing else.
The human brain works on the base of recognizing patterns and those that we have they are being copied until an unbearable level. The behavior is standardizing on the fragile patterns. And they are made habit. The daily experience is structured and in turn structure to the society, this that we live marked by the described features. We could say that we have a “culture of the raving”. This is the true cultural revolution of the régime that we suffer.
Our way to live in this social world is that of the social world. We reproduce, this way, the state of violence, of scorn, of lie and of fence. This is already the way to live off the Venezuelans. The revolution has been successful in the change so desired of the social behavior. We are already others. Now we are a diminished social capital. The education is redrawing to reinforce these new countervalues.
On the other hand we have the conviction of the defeat, on the base of the abstention in acting, because, according to the implanted module, anything can make but adapting. Inside this society reconformada inviable the democratic exercise is making, he/she is not considered form of logical expression; as well he tells it the project of constitutional reformation the popular power it won't be expressed by way of elections.
In other words, we are stopping to be voters-matter ratified by the abstention that he/she finds this way psychological explanation (to another part leave to look for) - and we have stopped to demand more open forms and you complete of participation, since the State is about to determine on that consists, a, obviously, determined by the commander. The State rises, I don't already eat guarantor, but I eat “father” that it orders and it sends.
Not to make is the new habit, but we compensate it with reflections threatening the most violent actions, while we accuse, to the one that moves on the logic, of collaborating with the new structure of habits and behaviors imposed by the revolution of the countervalues. The essential principles have been transformed and we no longer work deriving of them, now we act on the parameters of the régime. So that if we transfer to terms of current politics the word “collaborators”, they are it-there is no doubt - those that have adopted the habits and behaviors of those who their opponents consider.
This is, in this lamentable today country the social body copied the signs of the born invader of its own breast. It is possible to change the human subjectivity, for well or for bad, and to change it toward some values what has been the venezolanidad, more the sum of ceasing of the selfishness, of the installation of the social solidarity and of the abandonment of old theories as of sleepless theories, it is necessary the multiplication of the voice of the intelligence made sleepy today and fling in a hammock. For example, the habit of the growth has been changed by the habit of the survival. The habit of the tolerance has been changed by the habit of the aggression. The habit of not surrendering has been changed by the habit to spout insulting words and to announce violence.
It is obvious that the conformation of habits and behaviors depend so much of the exterior as of the interior. The exterior knows it in all its hangups, but the interior is shown us a deep psychological fragility, a lack of density, a total vulnerability, an impressive lack of consistency in the Venezuelan prototype. Without an interior world I not propitiate you internalizaría the worthless external world. Neither this circle of people would take place with the new habits and behaviors being constituted in the devaluated society. In consequence, it is necessary to explain and to introduce a new idea. If we are not able to make it, if we limit ourselves to repeat the rejection without proposing alternative, respecting the root in the old thing recent that here calls you democracy and freedom, there will never be the possibility of a collective reaction of true resistance, word that I use in their fair dimension, not in that of an eccentric political action.
I already said a while ago it: this implies a new language, to begin. It is obvious the necessity to design a future. With these habits and these behaviors, if we allow that they settle down hardened, this is that are a totalitarian society without resistance capacity, you then won't be able to modify anything, unless from the end that always arrives and the one restarts from the hole. If each who not you autoanaliza and he looks at that he makes to newspaper in the daily life and it is examined in their reactions in front of our current drama, we won't have intelligence the future neither emergent leaderships that can behave toward the reconstruction of our interior taking place and of our exterior.
This adaptation to the crisis habits imposes this behavior that is becoming natural in definition of a sick normality. As well as the body warms, it produces fever, as warning that the antibodies have begun to work and the organism defends, it would be this way indispensable that our society in breakup in the breakup felt conscience that the social body is the sum of each one of us and if each one of us has been intoxicated one to one we will owe desintoxicarnos.
It happens, sometimes that the towns wake up. Ours is characterized by the autoflagelación and their answers, along the history, they have taken a long time so much that we always finish beginning again, leaving on the floor the lost time and destroyed generations.
I am making an effort for the thought and the ideas in the blog “Democracy of the XXI century” whose URL is: teodulolopezmelendez.wordpress.com. I Wait the they read and request to receive it to the mail that I always place in my articles. Or that they collaborate conceptually for the achievement of a democracy of this century.
