THE REALITY OF LIFE

In all our life we are constantly living or experiencing unforgettable situation which can produce happiness or sadness to us. For sure those situations can be in our mind for a short or long time, on even more forever. For example, we could ever remember our first kiss, or when we made love for the first time or even more when a relative dies.

In my case, I Have lived many different moments in which I have felt happiness and sadness. But there are only two moments which I will never forget. The first one, that I call “the happiest day in my life”, was when my first daughter was born. Her name is Yenmilys and she makes my feel very happy because she is a very intelligent and beautiful daughter. Besides she is a good student and a wonderful person . I an very proud of her and the best of all is that I get along with her and she loves me.

I consider that to have a good relationships with our children is very important for us and therefore for the society.

Although I an living al these things with Yenmilys. I recently had a new illusion:

My wife was pregnant and I was going to have my second daughter. However, my wife had a problem when she was only 6 and a half months, and she had to be operated because my new illusion, I mean my second daughter, was going to be born. I was really worried about then. Doctors told me that my wife was fine, but my daughter was to delicated. The fact was that I had to go to the hospital for 8th days to visit my daughter and ask doctors about her health. They gave me good news the 8th day when they told me: “Your daughter is some weight”. I was very happy in that moment and felt a big hope to see my daughter at home. But the following when I went to the hospital with my wife, a doctor told us that our baby had died the day before. We couldn’t believe that after they mentioned all what they had told me the day before. I think if my daughter hadn’t been as they told me, they should have told me the truth. I swear that day has been “the saddest day in my life”.

When something life this happens, we always try to look for a culprit. In my case I was wondering: “Were the doctors the culprit? Were we the culprit? Or was the destiny? I am not really sure about that. I prefer to think that it was god’s will because I believe in him, but I just ask him to make me stronger to stand this pain.

Since that day I am not the same person. I have tried to live with this pain but it’s very difficult and I feel as if a part of me was stolen from me and I had a big hole in my heart, and even more when I had dreamt with my two daughters playing in a garden, running in a park and bathing in a river together. But all this is part of life and I know I will be fine soon. So, what is true is that all we have is an illusion, our life, in fact, is an illusion and all what we want are illusion too, but the worst of all is that we never know when our illusions could disappear. That’s why we have to be ready for every thing in life.

Are we influenced by fashion?

Long ago, a group of people cerated a tendency that since its apperance has caused commotion all over the world, that is not another thing that fashion, which is the style and design of clothes that are popular at a certain time. A lot of people have admitted taht they follow it just for being in touch with the styles, but sometimes those "styles" imply changes, not only in the way we dress, but also in our behaviors, thoughts and feelings.

Lately, it seems as if all of us have become in certain way in fashio´s victims, because everybody wants to dress fashionable and wants to look like the people on T.V. The only problem about it is not that people are acting as sheeps of the same barnyard, it is deeper than that, the persons are able to do anything to look good. We can see that many teenagers or even worse kids are suffering some feeding disorder such as bulimai or anorexia, these are illneses in which the person vomits the food or refuses to eat and loses so much weight that their lives may be in danger.

Maybe you think that people who do something like that are stupids, but the answer about what they do it is very simple, in our society one of the most important aspects about people is their physical apperance, it is very common that fat people or those who don`t have the beauty stereotypes of the models and artists are treated very rude, we have to confess that in one moment of our lives we have acted in bad way about a person or we have been treated like that for others, haven´t we?.

However, it is not our fault at all, we are just taking into account what the T.V and the magazines tell us. Everyday we watch a lot of T.V commercials about magic pills that can make us lose weight, in these commercial they try to sell their product giving to the audience a horrible image about people with overweight, who appear with sad faces and a very ugly apperance as if being fat were a curse.

On the other hand, all the magazines are full of articles that show the last tendencies and of course models with perfect bodies. This influences us to try to be like those persons, for that reason we are so obssesed with the way we dress and look.

Frequently, we can see that everybody wants to have a plastic surgery in order to have the perfect body. In my opinion that is silly, because those persons are going to show something that they are not, and everything that they get is going to be just for their image and not for the person they really are.


Anyway, we are forgeting the most important thing about life, that is the inner beauty which is the one that never changes, we can get old; get fat; have a plastic surgery, but inside we are always going to be the same person. The opposite happens with fashion, maybe what is nice today it won´t be tomorrow, so we have to take it easy and be concious that all of us are different and if we are not like the boys and girls on T.V or magazines it is O.K, because those pesons live for their bodies, but we have to work hard to earn our money, for that reason we don´t have to be so worried about fashion.

If you don´t drees fashionable, it is not big deal, because fashion doesn´t give you happiness, you can dress with t-shirts and blue jeans all the time and you can be successful and happy too, so why are you going to pay so much attention to that?. The apperel doesn´t say the kind of person you are, there are people who dress really nice but, they are very cruel and unhappy, for that reason we have to think about it. It is better to be humble and happy than fashionable and empty.

Change this craze is in our hands, because nobody can bring us down if we are confidence about ourselves and the person we want to be, or do you prefer to be a person who follows what others do or wear to feel O.K with yourself? somehow that is your choice but, is it worthy?.
