LIVING IN THIS WORLD...

Truthful Humanity today is reverting. Whatever steps that we take it would again lead us back as how we become human beings. We live in a world that, although it has boundaries, it is limitless. People can travel anywhere, see anything, experience every feeling that ever existed, but we are not satisfied. We try to impose borders on ourselves. We fight today to be recognized of the “community”, to be labeled as part of the group. And we fight today to impose limits to a world in which yesterday people fought. We live in a world that, finally, recognizes...

HERE'S TO THE PAST

Many of us often say that “Let’s the past pass”. However, the past is obviously a vital part of our lives. I believe that learning about the past is very good and necessary for us. First of all, past is generally history. Human beings have evolved continuously since they came into existence. Things that we made in the past result in present ones. Now, we have a comfortable life thanks to inventions and findings in the past. Learning about the past, in this case, is to learn how to respect our ancestors. For instance, a person must know his country’s glorious history, so he is very proud...

A PIECE OF STRING

William James once said, "Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact".  In my 19 years of existence, I have opened my eyes in this world telling me that life is a dream, sometimes you'll encounter nightmares and sometimes you'll have the sweetest dream. But then again... I always put in mind that the sacrifice I can give in life is a piece of string that you can thread in order to strengthen whatever you have now. My family has always been my everything behind the every string I thread in order to pursue and tail life.  I can still remember...

WANDERLUST

I typically enjoy a beautiful beach destination, as I find the water and sand to be the most replenishing.  Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds, listen to their singing, go camping and jogging and running, walking along with friends, playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors.  Laid back moments are priceless. A total physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly...
