A shocking pic of Famine

One part of our world is dying of hunger while the other part is belching in opulence.

One would walk miles to find a drop of water while one would walk miles to digest his feast.

So, which part are you from?

Are you from where we hear there are plenty of dead trees and cracked soil or are you from where bees make abundant honey while people are busy making money?

Are you from where tall buildings are things you can be proud of or are you from where drought is the answer to all hinder?

Please tell me who you are.

Are you the one who enjoys all the time savoring red ripe cherries and sweet chilies or are you the one who is crying among babies crawling with swollen bellies?

Are you the one who is living in peace with no worries or are you the one broken in several countless of pieces with painful stories?

Despite wherever you may come from, starvation is present is every nation.

Despite whoever you are, I’m sure you are not alien to the word famine.

I actually thought it might break your heart to know that one person every four seconds face death from malnutrition while at the same time 1.3 billion tons of foods are wasted every year on the same planet.

I truly believe if you have faith in humanity, you will plant every seed and pluck any weed with the intention to feed and save someone`s life by your deeds.

And I really hope you will speak to the world on this because as long as people feel weak, our future is bleak.

However, even though you don`t want to share your dish, I dare you to remember what I wish for.

I wish that after every heavy meal you had, you would still crave as your famished neighbor.

I wish that your conscience pricks you whenever you are eating like a glutton inside your dwelling without caring.

I wish that you feel shameful and guilty as a murderer each time you throw away leftovers in the garbage.

After all, Why don’t you see that you are only blind up to you want to be?

Together, we can strengthen unity against scarcity and change the destiny of all those children going to sleep on empty stomachs every night.

Let’s get involved in the mission to eradicate famine and move with full conviction towards the same destination of making consumption a reality to the whole world population.

My First Writing

Hello dear reader. Well i found myself having this urged to write even though i don t like it very much. I admit it, there are moments in your life where you can’t express your feelings orally. In fact it is not like you cannot i would rather say it would be much more preferable if in those particular moments one would grab a pen and start writing. Personally, i have done it twice or more before. And believe me my dear reader, it was magical. I did not care about the language I wrote with or the thrown paper i took. Only words mattered. It was as if something deep inside me was writing. I would call it my soul. But i do not know about that. I don t like to be poetic. Anyway, it was something i had to do . Now, i thought it would be much more interesting if i let that something inside me show up to the world. I want to know others opinion about this. I want to talk and interact more with people i don’t know. I want to know their thoughts about my writing, my way of thinking and exchange different ideas. I hope i can start something new and fun with this humble piece of writing. And thank you dear reader whoever you are for taking your time to read this. 🙂

Travel

Hello everybody,
I´m just writing this post because I wanted to express my happiness. Months ago I made a decision to travel to other country to improve my English. But there I realized a second language is not the main reason to travel, the most important is to know other cultures and other people who sometimes are very different. I have improved my english may be, I am not sure, but what I am quite sure , is to learn from other cultures is amazing, I hope that everybody who has the opportunity to travel, will do it.
I know it is difficult sometimes, because you need a lot of money, I am not stupid, and I know that this opportunity which I have, many people don´t have, I am a very very lucky guy, but maybe today if you can get a good job and save money for some months, you can do it, because to know different countries is awesome!!

1 + 1 = 3

Learn how one plus one can be three

One plus One equals Three!

Yeah, I’m not mistaken, I’m not wrong.

Follow me, we will learn how. I know that you are still unable to believe me.
Let’s try and see, maybe we’ll discover new things; maybe we’ll discuss something else and it would be interesting if we debate about it together!

As kids; our grandfathers and our parents told us about many things, we believed them automatically because they were/are trusted. No one could disagree with them or even thought of what they said. It was a matter of respect or maybe because we didn’t have the same experience they had.

I still remember my mother’s advice: “Don’t talk to strangers!” and my father’s “Laughing without any reason = impoliteness!”
Later, I discovered that a stranger can be a faithful friend; a stranger can be a good listener; a stranger can be the dearest one for you. Sorry my mother, but I was a stranger when you brought me to this world and then you talked to me and you taught me how to LOVE!

I also believe that I can laugh without any reason, I mean I don’t have to wait till I find a convenient reason which makes me laugh. I can find my OWN reasons to laugh and fill my soul of happiness. My father can’t understand these reasons. Still, I’m not impolite and I’m not crazy as well! Sorry my father, but I heard you laughing many times and I wasn’t able to get your OWN reasons!

Everyone of us should have our own point of view, own way of thinking, own plan to change our lifestyle.
Remember…. This won’t happen easily, this won’t happen by a sudden or by a coincidence. This will happen when you forget all about the old equations; when you cross the “1+1=2”
Believe in yourself; believe that CHANGE must be and nothing will last forever.

Years ago, when we were students, our teachers used to explain things in a monotonous way; they didn’t let us think out of the box. That way killed the creativity inside us, but fortunately, some students were mature enough to find their own way and they successfully created their own boxes and their own keys.

I’m not talking about success, I’m not talking about having a full mark in the final exams, but I refer to the quality of education and the strict way of explaining things to students; the unchangeable way.
1+1 can be 11, can be ×, and can be “a long one”
You don’t have to worry, you don’t have to be afraid from your parents in case you failed in your Math exam. To your surprise, maybe you will receive a present from your teacher and will encourage you to keep thinking differently and creatively. I want you to be sure that your teacher had read something about this idea, that’s why you won’t be punished for your unique answers!

Another example from the same field; kindergartens have been teaching the same Alphabets lesson which says:

A…………………> Apple
B………………….> Book
C…………………..> Cat

Why not to change it? Update it, choose a new group of words; words that are used in our life nowadays. Let’s consider this new list:

A………………..> Android
B………………..> Bookmark
C………………..> Cell phone

Don’t you agree with me that our kids already know these words?
We only need “CHANGE”
You can change something in a wrong and unacceptable way; this is not the CHANGE which I mean. We need a positive and a real change towards a bright future.

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”
John F. Kennedy
If you insist that 1+1=2, so you are still unable to get my idea and I’m sorry to ask you to stop reading. And if your answer will be “3” when I ask you once again about ” 1+ 1 = …”, so I’m sorry to say that you won’t get my idea.
I want to emphasize that there is nothing strict, nothing specific and nothing fixed.

“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”
Steve Jobs

You are welcome to share your ideas about the topic.
Disagreement is welcome, too

Thank you,

Blackmatta

it is fault of others

First, I am learning english, and so I write a little bad, but I will try.

Today many people speak and critic to others persons because it is easier to do it this way. It always is easier to say, “hey!!, they are wrong”. And I am hurt saying I am wrong, my luck is my fault. This happen in all of categories of life, from family to work. Well! the day, all of us could take care of what we do rather than saying, that day the world will be better.
