The year 2006 was a good year and the good thing about the end of the year, is the beginning of a new one.
I believe Happiness is that sense of being with ourselves knowing what we are not and knowing what will never be and accept it. Trying to correct our defects and being better than the day before. We should try that more often.
The perfect man does not exist. If it would exist it would turn out to be a boring one. Someone told me that humans only stop having temptations when they are dead. That humans are capable of betrayal against themselves and conquer the impossible until the last moment. Here lies the secret of life and happiness or peace, whatever you may call it. Being human is being in a constant struggle and search.
2007 comes accompanied by dark omens. An inminent war, terrorism spread around the world, galoping inflation, the poor poorer, the kingdom of individualism multiplied by infinity, lack of faith, the dissapearing of ideals, the eagerness to have instant riches, lies as flags of men and governments. If anyone feels like adding more to these inventories you are welcome to do so, do it at your own risk and you may achieve a splendid depression if you choose to keep them.
Parting from the fact that life is too short and that we only have one to live, they have told me that if you clone yourself you can live longer. Those who are eager to stay, perhaps they will have new experiences to live. Us who have just this life to live, we have to defend it and take advantage of what's left of it. I propose that we seriously commit with happiness and honesty. That we fight the lack of love and hopelessness with exercises that help us become capable of stopping and preventing new waves that invade the world to strain in our world. I propose changes that do not depend on international organizations or governments, or depend on currency variations or painful tests.
Do the inventory of your life one more time (I do it every year) and decide intensely that you will be happy and that to be happy you will fight with all your strenghts the fear, the madness and the ideas that are sold to us everyday. Each of us can create our own recipe. Don't look at what you don't have, be grateful for what you have, embrace it and value it. Learn to love life with passion. Forget what you have lost, if you have to cry for it then do it for very little time. It does not make sense to cry for it irremediably. Forgive, forgive everything, it is the most important step to achieve true peace. I know it's hard but let it go into the hands of your God, if you have one, and if you don't have one let it go anyways. It will always come back to you with blessings or you will just have that sweet sensation that you have grown and you can continue to grow. Be friends with your silence, there is no better advisor.
Learn to love in pain. You can only trully love when it hurts, when it's hard to do it, when we have to give up our preferences for the ones of the loved one. That is the most difficult lesson to learn. We generally love when love is in harmony with our most intimate appetites. We love the son that pleases us, we love the friend who always agrees with our thoughts and actions, we love the partner who obeys our whims. True love takes time and it definitely hurts, but it is the one that pulls us nearer to God. I have learned to love my friends because of their defects more than their virtues.
Yesterday someone told me that young people get tired fast from loving. Once passion disappears they start to discover the defects and tons of motives to undo the commitment. Another added that young people get married thinking about divorce as an alternative. I am a young person, I don't want to think I am part of these ideas. I once heard a girl say "I will try it out and see how it goes", and she was talking about her future marriage as if she was betting to the horses. Since that day I knew she was destined to failure and it happened.
It's the beginning of a new year, excuse my writtings.

I wish for you the best of the years. A year of self discovery, of faith, of reinforcement of personal struggles, a year of acceptance of what you have. I hope that kindness grows in people's hearts around the world this year. Watch out for those waves of panic and the fabrication of lies that trouble and disturb our intimate realities. I hope that commitment grows with those who have less, that compassion is multiplied to others.
I think the best gift we could give is our time to those we love and love us, just time.
Life is a breeze, so let's breathe happiness and contaminate others.
Have a wonderful year 2007.
