Last day of the year is a time to
reflect about the years that is ending. So many good things happened but we
tend to hold on to the negative events.
Guess that for me what mostly stood out was dad’s passing, which pretty
much hides all the good things.
Even though we know that everyone
will eventually pass away, it is still a difficult event to accept. Why is
that? Is it because we are selfish? Is it because we think that we can beat the
laws of Nature, the laws of God? Do we believe that we can live forever and
ever like in the fairytales?
We know the answer to these
questions and the simple answer is that one day or another we will all pass.
2017 was a very hard year,
especially here in Brazil. After the coup, jobs have been lost; prices have
gone up, not to mention inflation, which is not mentioned by the way.
Isn’t great that we get an
opportunity to hope for the best with the start of a new year? Can you imagine
how life would be horrible if we didn’t have this end and start? Humans need
this sense of hope. New Year’s Eve can be compared to celebrating a birthday. It’s
a personal new chance to make a difference and look forward to what is to come.
The New Year begins tonight. May
we live intensely every moment with peace and hope, for life is a gift and
every moment is a blessing from God.
Happy 2018 to all of my readers.
Thank you for reading!
