The Environment. For Reflection

Life, as we all know is wonderful, so much that we often forget this reality, until suddenly life teaches us that the wonder can be lost, corrupted, destroyed, become exhausted and stop being wonderful and fantastic.
~~~
Before going to extremes, let's take action, to improve, to discover, to appreciate our environment and our own humanity.
~~~
The environment -we included- is actually everything, that not only surrounds us but also sustains and also preserves, contains and maintains us. We have got used, mistakenly, to have a certain sense of responsibility to what we have in front of us but the true man looks also and increasingly until he sees no frontiers.
~~~
The existence is like a ring , a perfect and wonderful circle where the all and the nothing work always, as the reason and the proper condition of a perfect equilibrium called Life, which implies and applies that, what is done here, is also done in the universe.
~~~
When we tie, we chain ourselves, when we untie, we liberate. The frontiers only exist as intermediate steps of the stair of Life, which travels in itself, just as the infinite does in time. And time is its mother. And its Father is the eternity.

The Mysteries of Men

I was once trying to understand the mysteries of men and while meditating, I found myself in the middle of two cities. It was very late at night and everything was dark. These cities were very different, but somehow they had some resemblance.
I wanted to watch what was happening and I saw these two men, each one in a different city. On both places, there was a light on, and these men were working very hard. They were shoemakers and both were saying at the same time: " I want to conquer the other city because no one is worth the effort here "
The funny thing was that both wanted to conquer, not their city, but the city in front of them. A whim of destiny, had separated these men, since they were born together as twin brothers but unfortunately, after losing their parents, they had been separated and given to two different good working families who had raised them and helped them become shoemakers. And by even greater whim of destiny, they both made the same shoe models. They would come and go from one city to the other, working very hard and doing very well selling their shoe collection.
But they always would think to themselves: "No one appreciates my work in this city, but in the other city, they certainly do." And they did not know that each one of them, was supplying the other city. They had not realized that the shoes being sold in the other city, were similar to the ones sold in their city.
Then, I could understand that man limits himself, thinking that nobody appreciates him. And he also thinks that he must make an extraordinary effort to reach some stability and he does not realize that the greatest peace, tranquility and happiness are found in his own hands. He looks beyond but in fact everything is always here, not far away.

The Right Attitude

The right attitude is the one of success in the effort, in the dedication, but it never is a boastful attitude, since this would become defeat.
