Changes

Waking up at the same time to go to work and coming back at the same time every single day can be seen by some people as routine and discipline. However, doing the same thing for many years can also be seen by others as boredom and lifeless. The question nowadays is: Are we living or just surviving?

According to history, Man has been surviving ever since Man became Man. There are some people whom might disagree with what they are reading. However, the truth is that Man has always hunted and killed to survive.  These days we need to survive diseases, the air we breathe, the food we eat, the people who kill for pleasure or to steal, child abuse, bullies, unkindness and lack of affection and love; in addition to other things.

On the other hand, there are people who believe that they are living because they have imported cars, expensive watches, modern gadgets and money in the bank. These people summarize life into study, work and malls.

Radical as it may sound. Today we do not live. We survive.

Nonetheless, there is a shot at changing this. Don´t wait for a life changing event to make you wake up to reality. Life is given to be lived and not survived. When you open your eyes in the morning, be grateful for another day. Don´t look back, you´re not going that way. Live the moment and try to find love and happiness in small things.

Just a thought.
