Looking at ancient ruins

I don’t know where this picture was taken.

Looks very ancient, part of a house in the middle of a small valley, taken on early morning or located at some altitude where the weather always involves mist. This is almost all you can say looking at the picture.

But there is more; you can imagine that the people who build it, may have been very happy to create a refuge, against the winds. A lot of work to find and carry all stones, but important to withstand the weather forces. A small window, to give more protection, but with a view.

One can imagine all stories within the walls, as is the case when a stone house becomes a home. How many generations developed in this place? How many children abandoned their parents to find their own homes? How many tales the walls will tell if this were possible?

What will happen to our houses with the past of the times? For sure we will not leave vestiges to be looked at for future inhabitants. Maybe they will be demolished and new housing ideas constructed. There will be no memories to look at. Maybe the ones that will last were the ones that stand today and we cherished as an important part of our past. And maybe only will survive the ones stored in our memory

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.

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, ...
