I am from Venezuela and the word FREEDOM has been erased from my mind and heart in a short time, its meaning is not yet clear to me, I have lived in a country that 200 years ago freed 5 nations from slavery and war.
But in my country FREEDOM is dying little by little, it has no breath left and every day gives its last breath, its streets can only feel the loneliness and fear of the uncontrolled dictatorship of a man who has led to misery a whole country.
If we look in a dictionary for the definition of freedom, we can find the following: "Freedom is the capacity of the conscience to think and act according to the will of the person."
It is so simple "power to decide and live" fully under our own responsibility, where every decision we make is expressed by our feelings and conviction.
To be a Venezuelan in a country trapped by corruption and dictatorship can, with time, eliminate the meaning of the word freedom from each one of us.
