Some characters of world history are referred to as Great, who made colossal feats. Most of them, it is known, achieved their feats invading peoples, territories, cities, etc. Conquered large areas, but always imposing their conditions, and everything was conquered under the command of the conqueror. We remember the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire, Hannibal the Carthaginian Great, the Ottoman Empire, more about Napoleon Bonaparte, etc. Everybody started to expand their forces, doubling the conquered territories and peoples.
Bolívar was different. And that is precisely what makes the GREATEST. Why? For brought Bolívar FREEDOM. Bolivar liberated 4 nations and founded one, and all gave them the tools to succeed in its development, political, social and above all moral.
Formerly, all conquered territory was subject to pay tribute to his conqueror. Bolivar
not taken anything from anyone. By Instead, he gave the strengths, values, morality, honesty, gave his fortune and his life for Venezuela, for La Gran Colombia. And all that EPIC
Bolivar was destroyed by the most despicable and cowardly human actions for treason. For the betrayal and selfishness. And this great nation, this great country, ESA GRAN COLOMBIA the Bolivar dreamed and which gave it all, broke into pieces, into a thousand pieces miserable.
Then I transcribe the memorable words of Bolivar in the Monte Sacro.
These were the words of Simon Bolivar in Monte Sacro, before his master Don Simon Rodriguez, on August 15, 1805. Bolivar was 22 years old.
How this is the town of Romulus and Numa, of the Gracchi and Horace, Augustus and Nero, Caesar and Brutus, Tiberius and Trajan? Here all have the grandeur of its kind and all the misery his crib. Octavio is disguised in the cloak of public piety to hide the suspicion of its character and its bloody outbursts; Gross sticks the dagger in the heart of his protector, to replace the tyranny of Caesar with his own, Antonio waiver of rights His glory to embark on the galleys of a prostitute, no reform bills, Sila slaughters his countrymen and Tiberius, dark as night and depraved as crime divides his time between cuncupiscencia and killing. For a Cincinnatus was one hundred Caracalla, by one hundred Caligulas Trajan and a one hundred Vespeciano Claudius. This town has given everything for old times severity, austerity for the Republic depravity to the Emperors, catacombs for Christians consquistar value to the world; ambition to convert all the States of the Earth in tax suburbs, women sacrilegious passing wheels of his carriage on the broken trunk of their parents; speakers to move, like Cicero, poets to entice you with its charm, like Virgil, satirical, like Juvenal and Lucretius: weak philosophers like Seneca; and whole citizens, as Cato. This town has given to all but for the sake of humanity: Messalinas corrupt, heartless Agrippina, great historians, naturalists distinguished, illustrious warriors, prey proconsuls gourmets wild, rude ments come virtues and crimes, but for the emancipation of the spirit, removal of the concerns, for the exaltation of man and the ultimate perfectibility of reason, very little, if anything. The civilization that has blown the East has shown here all their faces, has seen its entirety, but as to solve the great problem of mankind at large, it seems that the matter has been unknown and the dispossession of the mysterious unknown but has not verified the NEW WORLD.
swear in front of you, I swear by the God of my parents swear by them, I swear by my honor and I swear by the Fatherland, will not give rest to my arm nor rest to my soul until I have broken the chains that oppress us by the will of English power.
