SO THAT THE MEMORY DOES NOT FADE…!!!

SO THAT THE MEMORY DOES NOT FADE…!!! Most of us are familiar with the frustration of forgetting – whether it's struggling with a word on the tip of our tongue, losing important items like keys or glasses, or even forgetting that, for whatever reason, we entered a room. How can we do anything but forget – especially in an age when we are subjected to a barrage of information every minute, between our life in the physical world and what reaches us electronically through smartphones, televisions, computers and much more? Whether it was me, my friends, them, or simply life took different paths without asking permission. Even with questions. And, in the midst of these questions, we learn that not all answers come… and that's okay! Some say that we carry burdens in our souls for too long… and hold onto memories without expecting new moments. And without thinking that not everything we experienced in the past makes us want to go back to that place... Looking back, we realize our responsibility in each situation (without invalidating the less correct behavior of others) and we realize that we could have done things differently, but we didn't have that perception yet, nor did we know what experience gives us today... what we do know is that there's no way to correct the past... but there's no point in continuing to carry baggage that no longer adds anything. “The True Philosophy of Life (Notes by Fernando Pessoa) To work with nobility, to wait with sincerity, to feel for people with tenderness, that is the true philosophy. 1. Do not have firm opinions, nor believe too much in the value of your opinions. 2. Be tolerant, because you are not certain of anything. 3. Do not judge anyone, because you do not see the motives, but rather the actions. 4. Expect the best and prepare for the worst. 5. Do not kill or destroy, because you do not know what life is, except that it is a mystery. 6. Do not seek to reform anything, because you do not know what laws things obey. 7. Strive to act like others and think differently from them.”
