The sublime messages and importance of cultural histories

The plains and its natural paradise behind its great beauty hides a lot of myths that throughout history have adorned and emancipated facts and stories that have occurred.

One night in May, where the moon covered the savannah and could not see beyond where the coldness of the day let you see, it seemed like a movie story, it seemed to be in a mountain, although the reality is different, the pastures were covered in white, like fog wrapped everything with his mantle, visibility was poor, A man approaching in the distance shouted from the road, "Watch out, here comes the dead woman from the galley, a woman who goes out to anyone who pretends to be handsome and a womanizer" but since I don't believe in any of that, I am not going to let myself be scared by those tales from the road, a man from the village is waiting for you, Good morning! , - Good morning, replied the gentleman! Where are you going that way, the llanero answered, "Old man, I am going to a party of Doña Juana, the "best of this land".

The older gentleman replied to the llanero, <Amigo I think it is better, that you do not go anywhere, on May days they say that a dead woman comes out, a woman that pity>, the llanero doubtful to believe what this older gentleman was telling him asked him, friend tell me something, how is that story of that woman that comes out? That woman had to do something very bad to be in pain, the older man answers;

"The story goes that a beautiful woman, married, with children, a fulfilled family, one month of May, went out to the river, the woman when arriving at the place saw that there were some people's clothes near the shore, when she realized, the clothes that were on the shore, were her husband's, curious and incredulous, began to look to see what was there, then, she took the most bitter truth the man was with another woman, the jealous woman, could not stand the betrayal of her husband, with rage and euphoric she went to the house. By the time the man arrived, his wife was standing cross-legged at the door, she told her husband, "Darling, go take a shower, I'll get dinner ready", after the man went to take a shower, the woman locked the door of the house. She looked for gasoline, set fire to the house with her children and husband inside, unable to bear the betrayal of her husband, full of rage she committed the worst sin, to kill her own children, she could not hold what she did so she decided to leave and get lost in the jungle, although she could not get very far, a snake had destined her one of the most horrible deaths, the mother of the woman when she saw her dying daughter, told her "I curse you animal of bad death that you will never die! Since then, the woman has gone out in search to calm her pain, thousands of people have received what they deserved from this woman, others do not have the same luck to be able to tell the story.

The plainsman still incredulous of everything that had been told to him, continues on his way, the night begins to become colder and the darkness takes over everything, he could not see anything, the man begins to hear footsteps in the undergrowth, then he shouts, get out of there, he may be looking for a snake to bite him! Nothing responds, after several minutes and the same sound, the doubtful plainsman shouts again, then, no one is going to come out, stop being crazy, get out of that mountain. Not receiving an answer, he manages to see that ahead of him a woman with an immeasurable beauty is waiting for him, not being able to believe what was happening, the man does not want to approach and decides to pass far from the woman, this woman does not say a word, she only sees him pass, the man remembered the words of the lord of the town, then, he says; are you the famous woman that comes out? Not receiving any answer, he repeats the question "I asked if you are not from this world? No luck again, I think what you are is a poor soul who is thinking, "pity" so beautiful, a woman like you deserves to have everything, when the man looked again and the woman was not there, scared and impressed the man hurries the step, ahead he manages to see a light, so he started to run, his impression was greater to see that it was nothing again, then he shouted "Do you want to make me crazy? No, go fuck someone else. Suddenly the man felt that something hit him in the back, he fell to the ground, he could not get up, he turned and looked at a woman, with a beautiful dress, he could see her face, it was completely disfigured, huge teeth, bulging eyes, she was really very ugly, what do you want from me? Leave me alone, the woman approached the man and he shouted "leave me, wretch of nature! The woman grabs the man by one foot and drags him into the bush, the man, unable to defend himself, screams loudly, "Help! help! In the distance... some people passing by heard the commotion and came out in response. The man, almost without strength, shouted, "She is very ugly, she wants to take me away!" Help! !!!! The people arrived in time and were able to save the dead woman and the handsome man from the terrible encounter, the "llanero" was taken to the village, there he could see the "wise old man", old man you knew everything about that woman, how, the old man answered, that woman was my daughter.

El llano if it is beautiful and their stories are the best, full description of a life and events, the reality is one, the wise say "we must believe in the living, rather than in the dead" the nature of things has only one meaning, while everything that is done in this life is paid so also works for those people who do wrong, under all this mythology, is the very belief that we all have a path traced, The spiritual relationship here in the plains has many followers, the people of the plains are people of great faith, they also have ingrained their customs, the culture is much greater than that of the villagers, all because the wise grandparents of the plains are those who carry the doctrine of the young people.

In part, I testify that all culture of belief has been transmitted and inherited from family to family, I plan to do it also when I have my children, not to carry the same custom, my free will tells me that it is a right way to raise with good cultural base and not lose the essence of the plain.

When I am asked what it feels like to be a llanera? I can say with much humility that being a llanero is not just anything, not everyone knows exactly what they want and is easily identified as a person, in my case I am a woman raised with a cultural base, which tells me where I come from, plus we have as principles. To be kind, humble and treatable, to know that everything must be earned with sweat and effort, not to take what is not ours, to be obedient, to listen to our elders, to respect others as well as ourselves, to help each other no matter what.

Much of this belief system gives color and beauty to our lives, like the colors of this majestic bird, every moment of our lives is represented in a book of life, so like the immeasurable beauty that represents this animal, we have a good thing to do with myself, to take care to lead a just and necessary life is the essence of being who we are, without leaving aside the upbringing that has been given to us, the blows that life has given us.

The teaching that leaves us each story and stories, carries a sublime message, many times we do not pay attention to what we are told, especially when an older person does it, there we are already failing, things always happen to us for not paying attention, for the disobedience itself, so I think that much of all these stories if they are well analyzed, have a teaching itself, almost always to people that things happen to them is for not paying attention, for being a descendant, for having a disrespectful personality. For being arrogant, that is, what I mean by all this, every act is accompanied by its consequences, not thinking for any reason, not having any properly is considered a terrible fault.
