Everything seems to be in it´s place for now at least that´s what everybody thinks, but not me. Lets just say that no one sees reality not even me. I know few things about reality actually, but anyways I can learn more about it. Anyways I do know that the world is a disaster while others don´t. There are so many weird people that only think they exist. Anyways what else can I do? People don´t get it.

Country History
Colombia was one of the three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others are Ecuador and Venezuela). A 40-year conflict between government forces and anti-government insurgent groups and illegal paramilitary groups escalated during the 1990s. Violence has been decreasing since about 2002, but attacks continue to occur. The Colombian Government has stepped up efforts to reassert government control throughout the country, and now has a presence in every one of its municipalities. However, concerns about violence still exist, being less than before.

For Today

I have been very sad and sick on the lasts days. This has caused me an uncreative attack. Which means I haven´t known what to write in the last days. Anyways I want to write of my opinion for today.
First of all I am simply tired of people thinking that their problems are so big they could affect the whole world. they even think the world will be destroyed,that the biggest catastrophe will happen to evolve out of their "huge" problems. How can people be like that? well it all starts when they are born and they are so spoiled they think nobody else in the world exists until second grade when they finally find out there are more countries and more people, but they are still being spoiled (this is done until eleventh grade more or less) then their life is ruined- they don´t know how to do anything alone. All because they are spoiled Brats that forgot that they are not the center of the universe.

Second of all Ive seriously been trying to be patient with people that are so presumed. I´m so tired of people believing they are the beautifulest thing that ever happened in the world. By the way this are the same people that care about what others think which means they don´t have a personality which doesn´t make them the beautifulest thing that happened to the world. People simply need to see reality.

Third of all I love Colombia and I am scared of what may happen to Colombia when a new president comes. I hope for the best to happen and also want Juan Manuel Santos to be the winner or else the last eight years will be useless to every Colombian that has a better life.
