One view of life
One day a young man walk through a empty street thinking and asking himself about some question like what are the secrets of life, What’s the way he has to follow or What’s his purpose in life and suddenly an old man talked to him saying ¡hey, are you confused, I believe that but I’m going to explain one thing about those question. First, they aren´t easy to answerfor anyone and finally living life and learning of others lives’ you will find the best way to answer them to yourself!(web) A few months ago, I realize it reading an interesting book which is only based in experience and some points like family, happiness and finally death are mentioned and discussed to give people another point of view (Tuesdays with Morrie).So for everyone, life has beautifulbut difficult topics to understand and reflecting on some of those topics mentioned could make us see life from another view and it could make us create our own definition of it.
Nature is something around us and it’s considered our home. You can find everything on it. Since we were born, we are part of it and we have to care of it but nowadays nature is not as important as in the beginning. Inour days we could realize how much damage we cause to our home, even if the earth is a vast place, and we should care because it’s our only home that’s the reason that many cultures consider the earth a spiritual place and care so much for it. “Dust to dust” is a famous phrase which is mentioned in the bible but according to bible, it’s because God creates Adam from the dust of the earth but it hasmore than a religious context. An example is a tribe called Dansana in South America which believes everyone has a spiritual place on the earth, and when a hunter kills an animal, it leaves a hole in the spiritual context but it’s filled by the death of another hunter and it could explain the phrase. In addition to think about it there is a little history about a wave which enjoys the wind andthe fresh air until he notices the other waves in front of him crashing against the shore. “My god, this is terrible” the wave says “look what’s going to happen to me” then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim and it says to him “Why do you look so bad” The first wave says “Don´t you understand! We’re all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn’t itterrible?” The second wave says “No, you don´t understand. You´re not a wave, you are part of the ocean” (Tuesdays with Morrie). In fact, independently of anything you get in life everyone returns to be part our natural home as in the beginning.
Family is a really strong concept in which everyone supports our choices. Everyone has a family even if they don´t have any blood link. Instead of a bloodlink they have an emotional link which makes them feel loved and cared for, from this point we started to create a concept of family, so for many of us a family is more than an institution as psychologists refers to family. In addition, we could consider family to a group in which we feel a strong emotional link like friends or partners. We could find some examples of family like gangs whichappears because people who entered to gangs feel it’s like their family according to many professionals and testimonies. For many religions and professionals, family is the base of society and for that everyone is called to care for and develop it. Because of those things a family has to grow with confidence and love no matter the circumstances. Even if a family is not conventional, it has a reallyimportant meaning in life as a guide and happiness. For many reasons, an important part of life is family and it´s linked to happiness when we build on base of confidence and love, and to our choices directly because of members’ support.
Another important point is culture. It is so important in our life because it is one way which shapes us but nowadays is not a strange fact that it’s destroyed....
