Don't stop - Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

 Today,  looking for an essay subject  ......

 I ran into this poem, very inspirational. Can not avoid copying it here, in this way is captured  and I can go back and read it anytime I want. 

 Don't stop 

 Do not let the day end without having grown a little, 
without having been happy, without having increased your dreams.
Do not let yourself be overcomed by discouragement.
Do not let anyone take away the right to express yourself,
which is almost a must.
Do not give up the desire to make your life something extraordinary.
Do not stop believing that words and poetry can change the world.
No matter what, our essence is intact.
We are passion-full beings 
Life is a desert and an oasis.
It knocks us down, it hurts us, it teaches us.
It makes us protagonists of our own history.
Although the wind blows against, 
The powerful works continues:
You can contribute with one stanza.
Never stop dreaming,
because in dreams man is free.
Do not fall into the worst of errors :
silence,
The majority lives in a scary silence.
Do not resign to  yourself 
run away.
" I create my screams through the roofs of this world",
says the poet.
Appreciates the beauty of simple things.
You can make beautiful poetry about little  things,
but we can not row against ourselves.
That transforms life into hell.
Enjoy the panic that causes you the life you have ahead.
Live intensely, without mediocrity
Think that the future is in you
and face that task with pride and with no fear.
Learn from those that can teach you.
The experiences of those who preceded us, 
of our "dead poets",
they help you walk through life
Today's society is us: The "living poets".
Do not let life happen to you without you living it....

The importance of potable water

It is important to understand the consequences of the lack of potable water in poor communities in the world. Government and non-governmental organizations are focusing their efforts to alleviate this problem, but until now  results are showing that there is more to do. Deprivation of potable water is the first cause of several health issues, that prevent the possibility of advancement in the fight against poverty. Women and children are first affected by this insufficiency as this impacts health since childbirth through the first years of development.  We should not let politicians and organizations deceit the public with false statistics, diminishing the significance of this service shortage. Surveillance groups should be created to ensure resources are applied where they need to be. All efforts will be compensated just capturing the delight of all earth communities watching the liquid flowing from pipes as a promise of a better future.

The unimportance of identity

  Consider the fact that. in a few years, I shall be dead. This fact can seem depressing. But the reality is only this. After a certain time, none of the thoughts and experiences that occur will be directly causally related to this brain or be connected in certain ways to these present experiences. That is all this fact involves. And, in that description, my death seems to disappear. Derek Parfit  Derek Parfit was a British philosopher who specialized in personal identity, rationality and ethics. He is widely considered one of the most important and influential moral philosophers of the late 20th century and early 21st century .

Alice sense of entitlement

Sometimes when I admire Alice,   I wonder if her cat personality has a sense of entitlement or if she simply behaves as a Queen-pet- cat. Alice - The Queen  A sense of entitlement is defined as “unrealistic, unmerited or inappropriate expectation of favorable living conditions and favorable treatment at the hands of others”. Entitlement is found when there is a higher sense of belief in one’s importance and means the person believes he deserves certain privileges – and is arrogant about it. Let's go to Alice, her elegant demeanor and her impassivity at her surroundings leads you to bring immediately the sense of entitlement. Her selection of the unimaginable places to relax, unaware of any possible restrictions, corresponds the same to her high sense of self-importance. She understands her significance as being part of the family and takes for granted her care tasks without interruption. But, because of her pleasant, playful and sweet behavior, ...
