Meaningless to live - Antony Story [ESP|ENG]

Antonio ya era un señor mayor, durante sus años de juventud y adultez se dedicó a producir ingresos que le permitieran vivir una vida por así decirlo, comoda y aunque sin lujos, tranquila.

Formó a su familia joven, crió junto a su esposa hombres y mujeres de bien. Montó una empresa junto a su hijo mayor y este se hizo cargo de los negocios de la familia. Tenía muchos amigos y siempre estaba dispuesto a ayudar a todo el que de él necesitara.

Su casa no era la mejor, pero tenían una, grande y muchos carros. Se dedicaban a hacer transporte de maquinaria pesada, en algún tiempo montaron una compañía de reciclaje pero se vino a bajo cuando en el país donde vivía Antonio comenzaron los problemas políticos-economicos y esto afectaba a los medianos empresarios.

Al inicio todo se veía bien, se cerraba una puerta y se abrían otras, pero con el pasar del tiempo y muchos años, sin darse cuenta, Antonio se fue quedando sin nada.

Su hijo emigró a otro país, el se tuvo que mudar de ciudad por circunstancias de la vida, ya no vivía en su casa propia y esta al igual que sus camiones y lo poco que quedaba eran cada día desvalijasdos por aquellos que un día el ayudó.

Lejos de casa, sin sus carros, sin dinero, sin poder producir, sin parte de su familia y sin amigos, ya que la mayoria habían muerto, así se encuentra Antonio, sin muchas ganas de vivir.

Antonio was already an old man, during his youth and adulthood he had dedicated himself to producing an income that allowed him to live a comfortable, if not luxurious, but peaceful life.

He raised a young family, raised good men and women together with his wife. He set up a company with his eldest son, who took over the family business. He had many friends and was always ready to help anyone who needed his help.

Their house was not the best, but they had a big house and many wagons. They were dedicated to transporting heavy machinery, at one time they set up a recycling company but it went downhill when the country where Antonio lived started to have political and economic problems and this affected the medium-sized businessmen.

At the beginning everything looked good, one door closed and others opened, but with the passing of time and many years, without realising it, Antonio was left with nothing.

His son emigrated to another country, he had to move to another city due to life circumstances, he no longer lived in his own house and his house, his trucks and the little that was left were being plundered every day by those he once helped.

Far from home, without his cars, without money, without being able to produce, without part of his family and without friends, since most of them had died, this is how Antonio finds himself, without much will to live.

Hoy en día su salud no es la mejor, sus defensas han bajado, su hemoglobina también y no quiere comer, simplemente no come, parece ser que le perdió sentido a la vida.

Posa día y noche sobre su cama, solo ve la televisión y cuando le es posible habla con su mamá que es bastante vieja y ya pocas veces lo recuerda. Sus hermanos estan lejos pero en ocasiones también habla con ellos.

La vida no lo ha tratado muy bien. Hace 17 años perdió a su hija mayor en un accidente, hace 1 año a un nieto y ver partir de este mundo a sus amigos y seres queridos le ha afectado mucho, ya que es fácil presa de la depresión.

Hay días en que pasa sin hablar con nadie, perdido entre sus pensamientos y por más que le digan que lo intente, simplemente no come, no pone de su parte y una vez hace ver que le ha perdido sentido a la vida. No se ve motivado ni por sus nietos, quienes desean volverle ver pues viven lejos.

Antonio, no solo sufre de depresión, la tristeza que embarga su corazón es grande, pero también el hecho de sentirse inútil y dependiente, pues su vida cambió radicalmente y se le fue todo de las manos, manos que trabajaron para en esta etapa de su vida vivir tranquilo y ha sido todo lo contrario. Lo peor es que no es su culpa y así como él hay muchos.

La historia de Antonio hace eco en muchas otras, que al igual que él han perdieron todo por lo que tanto lucharon, viendo como se esfumaba el esfuerzo de su trabajo, cuan viento fuerte llega y arrasa con todo.

No es solo haber perdido años de esfuerzo y trabajo, no es solo haber perdido cosas materiales, es también haber perdido la vida y el tiempo que se invirtió en ello y los recuerdos que se borran con los años. Es que te quiten todo sin derecho y sin tener a quien reclamarlo, por que el culpable es verdugo y juez, al mismo tiempo.

Today his health is not the best, his defences are down, his haemoglobin is down and he doesn't want to eat, he just doesn't eat, he seems to have lost the meaning of life.

He lies day and night on his bed, only watches television and when possible talks to his mother, who is quite old and rarely remembers him anymore. His siblings are far away but sometimes he also talks to them.

Life has not treated him very well. He lost his eldest daughter in an accident 17 years ago, a grandson a year ago and seeing his friends and loved ones leave this world has affected him a lot, as he is easy prey to depression.

There are days when he spends without talking to anyone, lost in his thoughts and no matter how hard they tell him to try, he just doesn't eat, doesn't do his part and once it becomes clear that he has lost the meaning of life. He is not even motivated by his grandchildren, who want to see him again because they live far away.

Antonio, not only suffers from depression, the sadness that fills his heart is great, but also the fact that he feels useless and dependent, because his life has changed radically and everything has gone out of his hands, hands that worked to live in peace at this stage of his life and it has been the opposite. The worst thing is that it is not his fault and there are many like him.

Antonio story echoes that of many others who, like him, have lost everything they fought so hard for, seeing the effort of their work go up in smoke, when a strong wind comes and sweeps everything away.

It is not only having lost years of effort and work, it is not only having lost material things, it is also having lost your life and the time you invested in it and the memories that are erased over the years. It is to have everything taken away from you without right and without having anyone to claim it from, because the guilty party is both executioner and judge at the same time.
