Being a Colombian

What does really mean being a Colombian?

Social researchers who wanted to define it, with difficulty have managed to only a few brushstrokes. The ordinary people can barely make a list of strengths and weaknesses. Even literary characters have tried to answer it, one created by Jorge Luis Borges, gave a very general answer, but somehow contains a profound truth: "Being Colombian is an act of faith."

Despite these difficulties, finally came to light the characteristics that define us. First, the Colombian is traditional and so his list of priorities. The priority of every Colombian is the family. Most take their decisions according to the values that gave the family, feel that parents should be loved and respected. Also it has been proved that for 90 percent of Colombians God is very important

It is an extremely difficult task to describe what specifically a Colombian is but in few words a Colombian always wants to make his or her parents proud, gives everything to others even if he or she doesn’t have it and even if they live in some kind of poverty the election of being happiness will always prevail.
