Hello weekend Experience community, I am new to this community, I introduce myself briefly, my name is Miguel, my friend Irene has shown me the initiative of the week and has given me the motivation to participate here, the topic I have chosen is about the future, I hope you like it.
The history of this house is related to the beginnings of oil exploitation in Venezuela, the city of Cabimas was the epicenter of the exploitation of this mining that made this country known in the world as a producer of oil, this is the last house where in the past served as a residence of the English who came along with the oil companies.
This house that witnessed a thriving place today is resisting the ravages of time, petrified as a monolith, being a reference, a glimpse of the past, in an uncertain future, without knowing when it will succumb, in what way.
To see that around you things are moving forward, and to always manage to be located in a neutral point, in a blind spot before the panopticon of the future, being the referent of the past, in poetry is often used the literary resource of "the house inhabits us", many times I have passed by this home, and it seemed to me a common place, until the moment in which I had serious reflections about my future, the restlessness in my thoughts about what will be, and if everything will be as I am until that moment, there I felt that this house inhabited me.
In a future where monotony has no compassion, with truncated life plans and at every moment entering and leaving the same loop, if the future is dismal and profitable it would be a joy, meanwhile, I am not made of wood, I do not succumb to the saltpeter, but to the look of what I was, what I am and what I will be, a petroglyph, which had better times.
I feel that the future looks at me with indifferent eyes, in moments when I long for glory, where the mind travels beyond the horizon, trying to live the moment that does not come to me, and if the moment arrives? But it comes at the wrong time of my mortal life, deep down, whatever age we are, as long as we feel young we will always want to eat the world, to succumb to our will, to our whims.
Things are inanimate places, they do not reason like humans, however there are houses where you breathe an atmosphere of peace, other dense, that environment would compare it with the mental stability of people, and for the future, the mental health of what is to come is important, whether good or bad, the important thing is not to succumb to what is not, but we do not know what will be.
If you got to this point of the post, I would like to thank you for the time you took to read this reflection, I hope to interact more often with you, I hope we coincide on another occasion.
