Being a new man (I)

The question is how to handle being a new person? Mainly when we are very tied to the material things like the car, or the vacations or even the clothes. 

If I don't want to be a leader, I can fight for better financial conditions. I was leader almost twenty years with good financial conditions, including car, good mobile phone and personal computer.

I discovered that all these aspects disappear. The sensation was strange. I find that money was, indeed, not a problem but a solution. How it was possible this radical change in my personal view?

Indeed, the changes in our behavior or point of view are not so difficult. When occurs a «revolution» in our life, as in a society, it is necessary to understand deeply the motives and take measures, even, hard and against our habits. The important is survive and get, quickly, quality and emotional stability.

Money and material things as no sense if there isn't life with quality and happiness.

One day a poor man, farmer in a far land, isolated and with a house almost without windows, told me that happiness was to be in ignorance. The knowledge was a terrible thing to is emotional feelings and stability. Living «in the dark» for me was a terrible thing. But, in fact, the man has reasons to follow that way in his life.

So, the difficulties and damages are solved with a new way of behavior and thinking.

Being a new man (II)

Being a new person how to handle with it? Is so important to be less «important» in the career changing with a better quality of life?

Of course not!

The first decision was doing, in work, what really pleased me. The satisfaction of realize some «dreams» of the past. Return to study, writing, accept challenges, being a volunteer, playing with my daughters and go to Africa, the it's heart, far from everything and everyone.

We must understand that life in development countries is starting to be unpleasant because of the growing of materialism concept and sanitary radicalism. In this last concept the European, or American, could die touching in a fly, because they are totally disinfected, inside and outside.

The designated Western, is totally far from the reality of the world. And that was the main motive to go to Africa to understand how people live.

In fact, live with the conditions they have. Different but not so different, because people are happy or unhappy, like us. That's one of those things I have learned. Appreciate every day as a bless or a fortune.

In Africa I found my educational roots. No cultural, of course, but, indeed, the respect to the elder, teacher even the chief. And the Sunday's suit or the black in the funeral or even the correct language or writing, hand writing precisely. The behavior is very similar to people who lives far from the capitals.

The turn back made me remind my ancestors again, the school and the colleagues that I never saw again. So, the cycle remains and give hope to continue this travel of living.

But what can I do in Africa? The Europe is the center of technology and have excellent conditions to learn and study.

That's true. But in the present don't solve problems like the Columbus egg. The modern societies are so tied to technology that needs communications, digital systems, transport means and logistic model with everything.

So, I ask you: and in places where are no mail? No disinfected water? No hammer or batteries? No waste services?

It's true that the United Nations and other international organizations work in the field to minimize some difficulties of these people, namely the protection of child and women. But the live goes on, as in another place in the world. Human has a tremendous capacity of adaptation to the environment and the way of living.

The help we can do is to solve problems without modern technology and understand what kind of standards they really need. And that work, is, indeed, not easy to develop.

Why people are so angry against international organizations like UNICEF or WHO, before analyze and study what kind of work do in the field?

Probably only knows the walls of cabinet.
