"IS IT FAIR?"

A few days ago an accident happened in the sea. Some immigrants were on their way to “a new way of life” and, because of a negligence, they have disappeared and probably died. All this starts with a business. Many mafias take advantage of the desperation of some people in Africa; they promise to take them to a new country where they could have the chance to live a new life just paying some money. Ok, up to this point everything seems to be perfect, but the thing is that these mafias try to make the most of the boats transporting more people than the boat can hold. They only think about making business and money, and that’s the problem.

The accident I’ve mentioned before is a consequence of this greed. People in the boat started to become nervous and move, and then the boat overturned, or at least I think this was what happened.

About 700 people disappeared or died there. At this point I wonder something: Has this item shocked on the news, or has it only appeared a few times so people didn’t know? When the accident of Germanwings happened, it almost reached the news all over the world, and there were less than half this number of deaths (even though we didn’t know if they’re dead or not).

What people don’t realize is that the news only reflects occidental problems and interests. If people in the third world disappear or die in big quantities, we practically don’t notice. That’s a shocking thing that, if you don’t take notice of it, you won’t realize it.

I think this is totally unfair because we are all human and we have the same rights as people in the third world, even if we have more money or technology, we are all people. 

REINCARNATION

The other day I was thinking and I asked myself: what is going to happen after my death? I mean, when someone dies the body stays there and sometimes it’s used for science or it’s burned or maybe buried. But what happens to our soul? I do believe we’ve all got a soul and I can’t imagine its shape, but I think it doesn’t disappear. I am sure our soul stays alive and goes from body to body. Or, maybe it stays on earth without being in any body.

Don’t you believe in ghosts? Maybe a ghost is a soul wandering everywhere to see the changes in the world. Maybe your soul has existed for many years; can’t you imagine you being a soldier in the First World War? Or even a dinosaur? Because, if our soul goes from one body to another, we probably were a butterfly in another life, and a dog in the previous one. I think when I wonder I think too much, but, nowadays we have the answer to almost everything, but we really don’t know anything.

I believe souls exist and pass from a dead body to a baby being born. Once I heard that babies are born crying because it’s the only moment when you remember your previous life. I don’t know if this is true, but what is true is that we’ll never know. We’ll never discover that because we don’t have any way to go inside our soul and see its memory.

It’s quite good not to know everything, because if we knew from where our soul is, maybe we would go mad. I mean, to know everything isn’t always an advantage.

So, my conclusion of all those thoughts is that you have to enjoy your life as you can, celebrate your victories and your defeats; every single moment in your life. Try to do your best, and don’t worry about the little things, because time flies!
