WHAT LIFE IS! OR AT LEAST HOW IT SHOULD BE!

There is a fairly common saying that goes like this. Mankind becomes deaf and blind when it comes to listen and pay attention to what point to the selfishness, pride and greed of the human being. It is like preaching in the desert, and even the sand becoming dust storms out to swallow the preacher.

I would love to be always optimistic and positive as my wife usually is, expecting always the resurgence of the goodness of man from the ashes of wrongness and misbehavior.

But the incessant pounding of all the social molders by all types of influencing means, ways, actors and factors that invoke precisely our passive acceptance of the right to live by way or our indifference, leniency or despondency, requires that we raise our voice to point out what is wrong and deceptive.

But this in no way discredit or denies that life is beautiful, that life is challenging, that life is a process where the stamina and the conscience of man is tested so it can strengthen up their up righteousness and resolve to do what is fundamental to live as life should be lived.

This has been a perennial quest and exhortation by men of all ages and generations. In all types of assertions and exhortations, and through all ways and means of communication as in the following message!


Life is a challenge. Confront it!

Life is an unending letting go.

Only with empty hands you will grab something new!

Life is Love! Live it, intensely and whole!

Life is Hope. Keep it always alive!

Life is a road. Keep on walking!

Life is creation. Never stop creating something better and new!
Life is also death. Dying a bit every day. Be always aware of this!

Life is learning. Always! Everywhere! Until the end!

Life is a gift. Be grateful for it!
Life is friendships. Care for them and protect them!

Life is beautiful! Keep your eyes wide open!

Life is truth! Never betray it!

Life is exciting. Keep yourself open!

Life has goals. Reach them!

And hope, always, for the best for yourself as well as for all the others!


But mankind it seems that has always preferred to live immersed in struggles, contradictions, overpowering and contention.
