All worth when the soul is not small

We all have more than a thousand motives to be alive. Some of this moments and things that make our life worth living are our family, friends, music, sports and a lot more. The only fact of waking up, living the day and sleeping every day make our life worth living because this is fantastic, the possibility of doing something diferent than we did yesterday is amazing. To make the life better than it normaly is, we have our friends and family that will be together with us anytime we will need the and are the biggest and strongest reason thet we want to live forever. They are also who makes us happy. What also makes life worth living, for me, are music and sports. Doing this we feel free, we put out of us all energy we have inside us, what is very good, we stay happy and for likes it, there is nothing better. All this and a lot of more things make our life worth living and remember only the fact of waking up every day is a blessing from god and every thing worths when the soul is not small.

Why it's worth living

THere's one reason why it's worth living: is better be alive than be dead.

The freedom, the possibilities, the new discovers, your family and friends, every humam being knows that no matter if your passing trough a very dificult situation it's always worth living.
We all know things in life that can make it worth, and with me it's not different, I like to be alive beacause of all things that I can make here and all the things that I've already have done, all the feelings that I can feel, and a lot more things that make you feel alive and be sure of life. Nobody knows how death is, if it's good or bad, but nobody wants to change all we know for the unknown, because there's no back when you're dead and we'll all be dead one day so I should enjoy the most I can of my life, this is my time. love more and hate less, try to be happy and enjoy your life.

The Schindler's List

The film we would like to review is "Voices from the list" that talks about the list a man did to save some people in the Second War.

In the Second War, a man with a big heart, called Schindler, saved more tha a thousand Jews. Nowadays, the families that were saved, tell us a lot of stories about this man, what he did, and the hard life Jewish people had. It's a documentary made by Steven Spielberg where this people show us how much they suffered, and that they are still alive beucause of Schindler when he made a list of "Jews workers" for his factory and doing this he had the intention of savig this people.

When it all happened, the Jews of the film were children and express how horible it was as they losed their families, brothers and sisters on the "camps" and after that they had to start their lifes again. They talk about the mean German Officers like Amon Goeth that used to shot on Jews for no reason, he just liked to watch them suffering. What they past through, was not an easy thing to handle.

I would recomend to every body, except children because it's a very sad movie and a little bit dificulty to understand,as it's a very rich and good documentary. It show us how one man can make so much difference.

RELATIONSHIPS, why so many problems?






Like everybody knows relationships can be more complicated than you expected, and nowadays things are getting even more complicated. The divorce was inconsiderable some years ago, but today is a common thing. The numbers of people getting divorced raised up 8,7% compared to last year, are the couples fighting more than in the past? Why it’s so hard to get along well if your partner without thinking in divorce?
The freedom of choice brought that possibility to the couples a little time ago, and the first option is this, to separate. Without trying to make things work in their relationship, divorce seems to be the best solution. Of course the right conquered for separation is a good thing, but it made marriage lose a little of its sacred meaning, marriages that could work are breaking up because of silly things as it’s easy to get divorced. One cause for the increase of divorced couples are how we work and stay in work, so we stay less in home and with family, with the kids and the partner, so each time more we stay less with our family and more in work being a cause for a lot of divorces. Another cause is the increase of individuality and impatience which brings to divorce because in marriage we have to worry with our partner and we have to be patience.
The tendence is that more and more couples get divorced as we are being more impatient, more individualist and geting stresed more and more. To have a good relationship we must try to stay more with our family, including kids and do what is possible to be in peace with our partner.

Woodstock in Brazil?!

It's not a joke, another Woodstock will happen in 2010 according to the entrepreneur Eduardo Fischer, owner of totalcom group. He and some people who made the old woodstock at 1969 are trying to put some bands like Green day, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, RATM and a lot more together in a farm called Maeda at Itu ( a small city near São Paulo). The "concert" will Happen on October and will last 3 days, 7, 8 and 9. Fischer also said that the show will try to bring the spirit of peace, love and more conscious to the young public.
As everybody knows, The 1969 Woodstock became famous because of the good bands that played together (Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Jefferson Airplane...) the peace movement and the freedom(this includes, drugs, sex and more), and it was envolved in a war context, the Vietnam war.
The idea of recreate the woodstock isn't a new idea, at 1994 and 99 they tried to do that but it was not the same thing as the real one. Besides the good bands that possibly will play on the 2010 woodstock it's to hard to create the same atmosphere of the 69 woodstock, the truth is most teenagers nowadays are too distant from those who were there at 69, all we have to do is wait to see if this good but weird idea of make a brazilian woodstock will came true and if it comes true and you want to go, you should be update because it probably will be crowded!
