Some people out there is dying because they don't have what to eat, because of social injustice and because of so many things in life that are not fair.
Some people complains about what they have and about what they don't have, about things that are not neccessary to live, some people die because they can't afford medicine, because they can't afford a good living condition and those who die are the ones who must worry for living than those who have so many blessings and can't see those things because they can't see further than their nose.
I was standing on the sidewalk of my house today in the morning and a homeless dog was passing by, he looked at me and I say hi to him, he smiled and move his tail, he got closer and he look at me and he was happy to say hi to me, and then he kept walking. A dog that doesn't know me and was so happy to see me just because I say hi to him.
There was this other day when I got out from work, the usual thing to do, I took the public transportation and I started to think many things as usual. I was standing inside the bus right in the middle, when I looked at one of the seats and I saw this old sick lady. She was obviously going to her home and most likely from the hospital, because she had meds and a hospital bandage. Her sight was lost, looking at the nothing. It killed me inside to see her eyes and to see how sad and worried she look, her little beautiful eyes where tired and sad, and I felt really bad about it, because I was not able to do anything for her, to make her situation better and it hurt me very much. I wanted to do something, anything, so the only thing it occur to me was to give her a granola bar I had in my bag, so I took it out and I gave it to her. She didn't look at me, she took the bar and she stare at it, she took it with both of her hands and she put it in her chest and then it happenned: that moment where my heart and her heart were connected, she looked at me back and smiled at me, I smiled back at her and the time felt endless and I felt sad and happy at the same time. I arrived to my bus stop, I smiled to say bye and she did the same. I got down and started to cry because I felt pain and sad because I was powerless.
Life is not fair for all, and I remember that some people are really having a very hard time and we complaint for nothing sometimes, but this people that suffers a lot, they still smile back at you when you look at them as the humans they are and not with pitty or sadness. Life is not fair, but that is part of what it makes it complex and beautiful.
Problems, sickness, complications and death are a blessing to remind us that life is precious, unique; that is worth to live it and to enjoy. That life is full of wonders, blessings, feelings, ups and downs, learnings. To know that we are here and not dead. Death is something that will happen any time or another, but you decide wether to live or not while you are still alive and to make a difference in this world and to create and envision a better version of you every day, LEARN and while you do it, live every experience as the last one!
Please, LIVE.
