n this reigning vortex, we often lose sight of what is important. Everything must be here and now! What to do tomorrow next month?
While we must plan, present and future, I think we inevitably missed enjoying the day to day, because we were thinking about tomorrow. One morning which maybe…. we don’t get to see. And while I’m not looking to be dramatic,
you must slow your march, stop, look around…
Are you missing someone who grew up with you?
Where are the ones that enjoyed apparent health? Surely in this moment,
your racing mind, braked. You’re thinking of those who “got ahead of it”.
And you might regret not sharing more time.
I write and read for myself.
I’ve lost parents, friends, coworkers, acquaintances that were part of my life.
Stopping to think about them is remembering unique and unrepeatable moments.
Same chance I have today, with my loved ones.
This “modern” world makes us live at an incredible speed.
And perhaps worry more about the superficial of a gift, that time will take care of the corroding… so fast, it will be forgotten.
Technology has brought us closer to those we live on the other side of the world and further away from those who still live together, in our home.
Take a look back! He means we can stop in this frenzy. Giving a hug.
Wasn’t it the best gift from mom, dad, grandparents, friends?
I know, that will accompany us until the end of our lives.
Just like words, received at the right time.
We need to give ourselves quality time, share a table, with cell phones off.
Let the photographs, not overcome the valuable encounter, of sitting at the table and talking.
Ultimately, let’s get the family back, because it’s the foundation of our society.
We are losing the importance of listening to each other, everyone wants to talk,
but few stop to listen.
The past cannot be changed,
it may not repeat itself,
but the past has left us lessons.
From good and bad,
the first to imitate and the bad, to discard.
Stop, look back, remember the best and share it.
A better family, society and world is possible.
Take a look back!!!
