La Llorona ...

Consummate the conquest and more or less in the mid-sixteenth century, the town of Mexico as reflected in their homes when the left, played by the bells of the first Cathedral at midnight when there were primarily moon, woke up frightened when they heard on the street, sad and wailing prolongadisimos, launched by a woman who afflicted undoubtedly deep moral punishment or tremendous physical pain.
The first night the neighbors contentábanse cross with oneself or to those ghastly groans were, in their view, the soul of another world, but many were repeated and continued for so long, that some bold and carefree, they wanted to ensure their own eyes what this meant, and since the doors first environment, the windows or balconies, and then venture out on the streets, able to see that in the silence of those dark nights or in the pale light and transparent the moon fell like a blanket of steam on high towers, ceilings and roofs and streets, and threw sharp tristis moans.

Women wearing white suit and white and thick veil covering her face. With slow and silent steps walked many streets in the city asleep, different every night, without missing one, the Plaza Mayor, where the veiled face turned toward the east, knees, and gave the last anguished lament languidísimo; making stood and continued with slow, deliberate step toward the same direction, when arriving on the shores of the brackish lake, which at that time entered into some neighborhoods, like a shadow vanished.

"The late hour of the night - said Dr. Jose Maria Moroccan-silence and solitude of the streets and squares, costume, air, slowly walking the woman of mystery and, above all, piercing, sharp and prolonged wail of his, which was always falling on his knees in earth, was a set that terrorized those who saw and heard, and many of the hardworking and courageous conquerors, who had been the horror of death itself, were in the presence of that woman, silent, pale and cold as marble. hardly the most animated dared to follow her long-distance, taking advantage of the clarity of the moon, without achieving anything other than see it disappear on reaching the lake, as if the dive water and not being able to find out more of her, and who was unknown, where they came from and where they went, he was given the name of La Llorona. "

Such is in brief the genuine folk tradition that for over three centuries has been recorded in the memory of the inhabitants of Mexico City and has ido delete as the simplicity of our customs and the candor of the Mexican woman has ido lost.

But almost forgotten or disappeared, the board of La Llorona is ancient and widespread in many parts of our country, transformed or associated with crimes of passion, and that shade of white vagadora and women, seemed to enjoy the gift of ubiquity, as it traveled roads, entered the villages, towns and cities, sank in the waters of lakes, rivers vadeaba, climbed to the tops where they were crossing, to mourn at the foot of them vanished or to enter the caves and when approaching the walls of a cemetery.

The tradition of La Llorona has its roots in the mythology of the ancient Mexicans. Sahagun in his History (Book 1, Chap. IV), speaks of the goddess Cihuacoatl, which "often appeared as a lady with a compound as used in finery Palacio, said that night and voceaba raging in the air. .. The finery with which she appeared were white, and hair the way he played, which was about ergot cross on the forehead. " The same Sahagún (Lib. XI), which concerns among many signs or signals with the announcement of the Spanish Conquest, the sixth prediction was that night voices were heard often as a distraught woman who wept and said: "Oh, my children!, where do you get to acabeís do not lose."

The tradition is thus remotísima; persisted to the arrival of Spanish conquistadors and the Aztec city and taken by them and years later killed doña Marina, or Malinche, were that it was La Llorona, which was to penalize the another world for having betrayed the Indians of their race, helping the foreigners to subdue.

"La Llorona - account José María Roa Bárcena - was sometimes a young lover, who had died on the eve of marriage and the groom brought the crown of white roses that did not stick, other times it was the widow who saw mourn his tender orphans and wife dead in the absence of the husband who came to bring the kiss of farewell was unable to give in his agony, and the unfortunate woman, cruelly murdered by the jealous husband, who appeared to lament the end unhappy and protest their innocence. "

Gradually, through time to the old tradition of La Llorona has ido, as we said, erasing memories of the people. There remains in the memory of her mythological splendor of the Aztecs, in the pages of old chronicles, in distant villages, or on the lips of the old grandmother, who try to scare their nietezuelos innocent, saying: There is La Llorona!

But La Llorona is because today's children is not to scare the ghosts of the past and are often faced with the realities of today.

"La llorona" means literaly "the cryer" (the woman that cries). I'll start:

the conquest finished and more or less in the mid of the 16th century, people of the city of mexico kept themselves in their own houses at the "queda" time, warned by the bells of the first cathedral when at midnight and usually when it was full moon, they woke up frightened because they could hear in the streets, sad and long moans which belonged to a very upset or sad woman.

the first nights, the only thing that neighbours did was praying because those moans belonged to some spirit, to someone of another world; but there was so many moans that some of them, the most courage men, wanted to know what was that. and first, from the doors or windows and then going out to the street they finally got to see the woman that in the silence of the dark nights or in those nights that were illuminated by the full moon dressed with a light cloak above the high towers, ceilings and roofs, gave long and sad moans.

the woman was dressed with a white dress and a white veil covered her face. She walked along different streets with slow and quiet steps, she went to the Plaza Mayor, where she turned his veiled face to the east and she knelt down herself and then she gave the last moan, the most terrible one. She stands up again and she went on with the slow and quiet steps and when she achieves the river she dissapeared.

"That hour of the night - says Dr. José María Marroquí- the silence and solitude of that streets and squares, that dress, that atmosphere, her quiet steps and what's more, her long and sad moan, was something that scared whoever heard or watched her, and even several courage conquerors were afraid of her. The most courage people only dared to follow her from a distance with the full moon without getting another thing but watching her dissapearing near the river, like if she dawned in the waters, and they couldn't know anything else about her and not knowing who was she, where did she come from, or where did she go, they called her " la llorona".

this tradition remained in the people's mind for more than three centuries of the mexocan people.

sorry i am tired I am not translating it with google, i can translate it by myself because i am spanish and i speak english but it's basically that till it explains where does this llorona come from and it says that the tradition it's desappearing because children dont fear her anymore.


interesting i didn't know this story because i am not mexican.

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!

Advances in technology will soon cause 70-80?nemployment in the USA. How will all those millions of people eat, then? That will lead to a conflict between Social Market-ists (gov't imposed wealth redistribution) and Free Market-ists (no gov't imposed wealth redistribution). First, the Luddite Fallacy. It WAS valid UNTIL machines could do most human mental functions better than humans. Some experts are already saying this, but generally it seems like the American Society and its leaders are proceeding in utter ignorance. You probably know about all the technologies that now exist or will soon be up & running, & which will massively reduce the need for human labor in the economy, thus MAKING MOST HUMANS UNNECESSARY to the economy. Some facts: (1) A couple weeks ago all the toll booth workers on the Golden Gate Bridge were all dismissed because the gov't bought a machine to handle everything. (2) Computer voice recognition already exists, in programs such as Siri and Google Voice and others. But very soon these programs will be so much better. Virtually all the human-staffed customer service call centers will disappear very soon. Human office receptions will be mostly eliminated. (3) McDonald's already has a prototype version of their fast food restaurant with NO human workers on site. (4) Wal-Mart & other retailers already have plans for stores with NO human cashiers. (5) Google's driverless cars and trucks will soon eliminate most drivers of commercial trucks & taxi cabs. (6) IBM's computer "Watson" defeated the best human players on "Jeopardy" about a year ago. Watson had to hear and understand host Alex Trebeck's spoken speech just like the human contestants. IBM created Watson to replace Medical Doctors. The plan is that nurses and nurses practitioners will take data from patients (temperate, blood pressure, reports of pains, etc.), enter that into Watson, and Watson will order tests and make prescriptions and treatment plans. Unlike human doctors, Watson will KNOW EVERYTHING about medical science. Doctor errors currently kill about 100,000 patients per year in hospitals alone. Patients will DEMAND to be diagnosed by Watson (or other equivalent) & have a prescription by Watson, since studies will show that patients fare so MUCH better when Watson is their “doctor,” and the cost will be MUCH less. (7) Computers are now replacing the lawyers that formerly had to spend massive hours read through massive amounts of documents turned over to the opposing side in "discovery" in civil lawsuits. Documents now are turned over in digital form, and computers search in seconds them looking for key words and phrases. (8) Soon publishers will stop printing books on paper. Everyone will have an e-Reader device. That will be the END of every physical library and bookstore. (9) Soon computers will be able to general characters in movies that are indistinguishable from real humans. Not only actors will lose their jobs, but costume people, makeup people, scene construction people, camera operators, key grips, electricians, lighting experts, etc. (10) New machines are replacing the humans who pick vegetables in fields. (11) New machines are replacing human security guards. (12) Human airplane pilots, both in the military and in commercial service, will soon be extinct. The FAA has already approved testing of drone planes for commercial transportation of non-human cargo. (13) Most trades on Wall Street are already being made by computers. (14) The U.S. Postal Service is doomed. Paying thousands of people to drive around in little trucks to deliver little printed pieces of paper to each household each day is going to seem more and more like idiocy. (15) Most of the reviews and analysis currently being done by human accountants, actuaries, tax experts, and other financial analysts and consultants will be done must better, more more quickly, and much more accurately, by computers. (16) Web sites already are using computer programs to write the text for stories that report on sports games. The program integrates the statistics from the game into a story text that seems to have been written by a human being. (17)Most education at the college and high school level will soon be done online, eliminating a massive number of workers. Thus, GIGANTIC UNEMPLOYMENT, in the range of 70-80?is coming soon to the USA. This will result in Rio De Janeiro type slums all over the USA. That will result in calls for gov't wealth redistribution, which will result in Armed Revolution, Counter-Revolution, concentration camps, & Latin American-style death squads. The rich and ultra-rich are never going to let any government get control of their wealth. Huge bloody CONFLICT is coming. * * * Politicians keep repeating the old canard that the solution is to train and retrain Americans for the "jobs of the future." But they are either morons or are lying, since anyone who thinks about it can easily see that even if every American worker had an engineering degree or a computer science degree, the economy just doesn't need that many engineers and computer scientists. * * * * * * * Why don't more people see this? Why aren't more people talking about this? We are facing soon a catastrophe in the USA (and in other places) on par of the plagues in Europe that killed half of the population in certain areas, and on par with the depopulation in Europe brought about by WWI and WWII. Sure, you can just repeat the Luddite Fallacy, and proclaim that the economy will always create enough jobs for most people to survive. But there is no law of economics that says that any law of economics will always operate the same. Laws of economics are not like the laws of physics. Economies and life forms can and do evolve in fundamental ways that make former economic models and ways of life obsolete. I'm sure the last tribe of Neanderthals were certain that nothing was ever going to change, right before the Homo Sapiens swooped down on them, chased them into a dead end canyon were other Homo Sapiens were lying in wait with big clubs. * * * * * * * * * In the past the Luddite Fallacy was valid since machines always needed the mental acuity that only human operators could provide, and machines frequently needed maintenance by skilled human hands and minds. But now machines have mental functions that equal or surpass what humans can provide in most work functions. And computers aren't so much repaired anymore as just thrown away and replaced. How many cell phone repair shops have you ever seen? Even most laptop computers are replaced rather than repaired. More and more laptop computers never even need to be repaired for years and years. In short, when the economy has no use for most Americans, all h*ll is going to brake loose, & that's coming soon. * * * * *
