My dear friends I want to sharing this reflexions by Facundo Cabral:"You are not depressed... just distracted, distracted of thislife that populates in you. Distracted of the life that surroundsyou, dolphins, forests, seas, mountains, rivers.Dont fall on what your brother fell on, who suffers due to a humanbeing when there is more than 6,400 millions (according to google''s"world population"). Furthermore, it is not so bad to live alone.I have fun by deciding what I want to do at every moment and thanksto solitude, I know myself, which is constitutive for life.Dont fall in what your father felt, feeling old when he is sixty butforgets that Moses lead off the Exodus when he was eighty andRubinstein played Chopin like no other when he was ninety, just toquote two renamed cases.You are not depressed, you are just distracted. That is why you thinkyou have lost something, which is impossible since everything has beengiven to you. You didn't even make a hair on your head, therefore youcant be owner of nothing. Furthermore, life doesn't take thingsaway from you but it relieves you....lightens you so you can fly higherto achieve plenitude. It is a school from the cradle to the grave,therefore, what you call problems are just lessons.You didn't lose anybody, the ones who passed awaysimply got ahead of us because we are just travelers headed inthat direction. And, the best part of him, his love, will always stayin you heart.Who could say that Jesus is dead? There is no death.. there is"moving". And on the other side there is great marvelous people:Gandhi, Miguel Angel, Whitman, St Agustin, Mother Theresa yourgrandpa and my mom among them, who believed poorness is closer tolove since money distracts us with plenty of things and draws usapart since it makes us grow distrusted.Do whatever you love and you will be happy. Who does whathe loves is blessedly condemned to success, which will arrive inthe moment it must arrive since all that is to be will be, and willarrive naturally. Avoid doing things for obligation or engagementbut for love. Then, you will reach plenitude and among all that plenitudeanything will be possible with no effort, because it is moved by the naturalforce of life, the one that kept me going whenthe plane with my daughter and my wife felt down, the one that kept mealive when the doctors said I had only three or four months of life.God gave you the task of taking care of one human being, yourself.Only you will be able to make yourself free and happy. Only then youwill be able to fully share your life with others. Remember thesewords: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.Reconcile with yourself, sit in front of a mirror and think that thecreature you see is a master piece of God, choose right nowto be happy because happiness is an acquisition. Furthermore,happiness is not a right, but a duty because if you are unhappy,you will make unhappy everyone else around you. One single manwithout talent nor spunk to live, ordered the death ofsix millions of fellow Jews.There are so many things to enjoy and our journey in this land is so shortthat suffering is just a waste of time. We must learn to enjoy the coming snow,the spring flowers, the Perusa chocolate, the French baguette bread, theMexican tacos, the Chilean wine, the Colombian coffee, the oceans,the rivers, the Brazilian football, the One Thousand and One Nights, books asthe Divine Comedy, The Quixote or Pedro Paramo, romantic boleros by Manzanero,and for the intellectual poetry by Whitman, classical music byMahler, Mozart, Chopin and Beethoven, paints by Rembrandt,Caravaggio, Velazquez, Picasso and Tamayo among other wonders.If you happen to have HIV or cancer, there is two things that couldhappen and both of them are good. If it beats you, it will liberateyou from the bothersome body (I am hungry, I am cold, I amsleepy, I feel like..., I am right, I have doubts)... and, if you beat it,you will be humbler, more grateful...therefore you will be happy andpleased easily, relieved from any guilt, responsibility and vanity,ready to live every moment profoundly as it should be.You are not depressed, you are just unemployed.Help that child that needs you, that child who will be partners withyour son. Help the elders so the youngsters will help you when yougrow old. Remember that serving others is a certain happiness,like when you care for nature for those to come. Give without limitsand you will receive much more than you expect. Love until youbecome the most loved, even more, until you become the pureessence of Love.Do not be confused by those few homiciders and suiciders. Goodnessis bigger although you can see it because it is silent. A bomb makesmore noise than a caressing but there are millions of caresses feedinglife per each destroying bomb. Isn´t it worth it?By Facundo CabralI hope this reflexions help us to be concious about the wonderful gift of God that is the life.Thank you so much.By Aurazul
I think we have to learn to see the things in the just dimension, sometimes we have to get out and look ourself like if we were other person... could be useful. Thanks to you Anthoni =0)
