This Saturday has been full of calm and tranquility for me. It has rained, we have had electrical failures, also momentary loss of cell phone and Internet signal, but in general, it has been a nice calm day. At this point, in #Venezuela, one does not complain so much about the failure of services or their poor quality, in addition to the decrease in quality of life, after all, although it is true that complaining has a bit of catharsis, to let out the anger and pain, in reality it no longer feels like it helps much and one begins to "normalize" the state of things, we begin to consider all this decadent state as common, so we stop comparing it with what we had a couple of decades ago, and we try to keep our sanity and our minds focused on simply surviving.
Reviewing the ephemeris of the day a little, I found that: Today, in 1961, Ernest Hemingway, American writer, novelist and man of a hectic and fascinating life, dies. My first contact with this author was when he was a child and my school gave me homework to read his novel "The Old Man and the Sea", it really is good, easy to read in my opinion. Then I took an interest in it and reviewed others of his works, in adolescence I remember "A Farewell to Arms" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls", in all cases, there was a tendency to leave a bitter taste at the end, always showing the struggles to achieve great things and see how, one way or another, reality prevailed and crushed the dreams of the protagonists of the novels... in general, I like stories that have a "good" ending, a type of ending that I do not expect to find in real life, but what I long for in fiction, because it is a consolation. Because of this characteristic of my personality, I always find it strange that I like the works of #Hemingway, he always seems to go against that style, but even so, I liked his novels and I read them a lot.
Of his novels, the one that I thought fit the day is one that precisely reflects on death and its effects on the lives of those who survive, because it is something to think about, after all, it is like Stoic philosophical thought of Seneca, when he pointed out the idea that one should not cry for the dead, that they would no longer suffer this world, its lies, betrayals and corruptions, but that one could cry for those of us who are still alive... it sounds very pessimistic , but it is, after all, a way of enduring grief and accepting pain. In the novel in which I use his image as the cover of this post, the opening quote is quite good to understand the whole plot, especially in the part where it says:
... "any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.." - John Donne, Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, Meditation XVII (1624)
We are all connected in this thing we call Humanity, so every life that is extinguished affects us and takes away a world of potential possibilities, just as every birth is a new promise of possible futures.
Well, that was all I wanted to share, on this day 841 since the #Quarantine was declared here for the #COVID-19 #Pandemic, which, it seems, is already worsening again and the number of infections per week has increased again, so we would be entering a new wave. I wish you well and that we can read each other another time.

Este día sábado ha sido lleno de calma y tranquilidad para mí, ha llovido y hemos tenido fallas eléctricas, también perdidas momentáneas de señal de celular y de Internet, pero en líneas generales, ha sido un bonito día calmado. A estas alturas, en #Venezuela, uno no se queja tanto de la falla de servicios o de la mala calidad de esos, además de la disminución de la calidad de vida, después de todo, si bien es cierto que quejarse tiene un poco de catarsis, para dejar salir la furia y el dolor, en realidad ya no se siente que ayude mucho y uno comienza a "normalizar" el estado de cosas, empezamos a considerar como común todo este estado decadente, así dejamos de compararlo con lo que teníamos hace un par de décadas y procuramos mantener la cordura y la mente enfocada en simplemente sobrevivir.
Al revisar un poco las efemérides del día, me encontré con que: Hoy, en 1961, muere Ernest Hemingway, escritor norteamericano, novelista y hombre de una vida agitada y fascinante. Mi primer contacto con este autor fue cuando era un niño y me dieron como tarea para la casa leer su novela "El Viejo y el Mar", de verdad que es buena, sencilla de leer en mi opinión. Luego le tomé interés y revisé otras de sus obras, en la adolescencia recuerdo el "Adiós a las Armas" y "Por quién doblan las campanas", en todos los casos, había la tendencia de dejar un sabor amargo al final, siempre mostrando las luchas por lograr grandes cosas y ver como de una manera u otra la realidad se imponía y doblegaba los sueños de los protagonistas de las novelas... en general, me gustan las historias que tienen un final "bueno", un tipo de final que no espero encontrar en la vida real, pero que anhelo en la ficción, pues es un consuelo. Por esta característica de mi personalidad es que siempre encuentro extraño que me gusten las obras de #Hemingway, él parece siempre ir en contra de ese estilo, pero aun así, me gustaron sus novelas y las leí bastante.
De sus novelas, la que pensé que encajaba en el día es una en la que precisamente se reflexiona sobre la muerte y sus efectos sobre las vidas de quienes sobreviven, pues es algo para pensar, a fin de cuentas, es como el pensamiento filosófico estoico de Séneca, cuando señalaba la idea de que no se tenía que llorar por los muertos, que ya no sufrirían este mundo, sus mentiras, traiciones y corrupciones, sino que se podía llorar por los que quedamos aún con vida... suena muy pesimista, pero es, después de todo, una manera de soportar el duelo y aceptar el dolor. En la novela de la que uso su imagen como portada de este post, la cita de inicio es bastante buena para entender toda la trama, sobre todo en la parte en que dice:
"La muerte de cualquier hombre me disminuye porque estoy ligado a la humanidad; y por consiguiente, nunca hagas preguntar por quién doblan las campanas: doblan por ti." - John Donne, Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, Meditación XVII (1624)
Todos estamos conectados en esto que llamamos Humanidad, así que toda vida que se extingue nos afecta y nos arrebata un mundo de potenciales posibilidades, así como cada nacimiento es una nueva promesa de futuros posibles.
Bien eso era todo lo que quería compartir, en este día 841 desde que acá se declaró la #Cuarentena por la #Pandemia de #Covid19, que según parece, ya vuelve a agudizarse y se ha vuelto a incrementar el número de contagios por semana, así que estaríamos entrando en una nueva ola. Te deseo que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer en otra oportunidad.

I have heart about Ernest Hemingway but never read any novels of him. But, what I came to know about the ending of this novels, I think I am not gonna try any of them!
Sorry to hear about the COVID condition there. It is sad to hear that the condition is worsening. In Oman, it looks stable. I have stopped keeping an eye on the stat!!
Anyway, enjoy your calm day!

Thanks for comment. Certainly, the style of this author seems to guide him to leave a bittersweet ending, sometimes the Great Goal that was pursued is achieved, but almost always in a way that the protagonists will not be happy.
Regarding the infections here, our official statistics are quite questionable, but the information we have shows that it cannot be controlled, every time it decreases, the following fortnight it is seen to increase again, largely because the security measures and people get used to being in constant risk, so they lower their level of care.
Be well and have a good day.
