I use my memories and I remember that my maternal grandfather always told me that we should always talk to people, and that it is always worth talking to everyone, even those who do not give us the opportunity and subject us to the greatest injustices, for when we do not know people, everything we think we know about them is only and only mere assumptions, which very rarely correspond to a reality. When we talk to people, we end up, in general, liking these people and these people liking us! Perhaps because of this, we should always accept everything that life has given and gives us, and be grateful for everything we have and have. “Today my thirst for the infinite is greater than me, than the world, than everything. There is a spring in every life: it is necessary to sing it in this flowery way, because if God gave us a voice, it was to sing! And if one day I will be dust, gray and nothing that is my night a dawn, let me know how to lose ... to find me. ” (Florbela Espanca)
As we all know, (sometimes we omit them for our convenience or we think they are….) The popular sayings are loaded with wisdom, which should have a better perception for our reflection in our day to day. "It is said that the poor are not helped by giving them fish every day, but by taking a single hour to teach them how to fish." Of course, it is an adaptation of the Chinese saying, which is sometimes quoted by some economic analysts, but which is little or nothing practiced, which says “Give the man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. ” This ancient Chinese proverb attributed to Lao-tzu, an important philosopher from ancient China. As Barack Obama said in his 2008 campaign speech, "Change will not happen if we wait for someone else or if we wait for some other time. We are the people we have been waiting for. We are the change we are looking for."
I am not, nor have I ever considered myself a religious person, and I even recently learned that I qualify as an “emotional illiterate”, without forgetting what the writer Mário Quintana said: “The true illiterates are those who have learned to read and do not read.” But, I believe that the transcendence of believing in something that we do not see and that we do not know how to explain is one of the most fascinating experiences of human life, and this is a faith that permeates our entire existence, if we know how to care for it, in the various parameters of our life. life. All of this with regard to these difficult times that we are going through, difficult and uncertain times for everyone, when we are told that we need to avoid the street and human contact to ensure control of the Coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19). We still don't know how long this will last, but we cannot let fear occupy our lives and our minds, in these times of having hope and believing that the best days are coming. However, the fate that the biggest challenge in our lives wanted was to survive a pandemic and take a slap of humility, learning more about people and about life. As writer Jean-Paul Sartre said: “We don't do what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are. The important thing is not what they do to us, but what we do ourselves than what others have done to us. ”
