No one is exempt

-

Today I want to share something with you that I received and is well worth sharing!!! It is an evaluation of life, we come across the story of Formula 1 Michael Schumacher; when his story is studied as an athlete, we see that he was Winner of the Grand Prix in 1991, Seven times World Champion of Formula 1; his being was infused with happiness but one fateful day his destiny completely changed due to an accident!!! Today, this star with only 44 kilos of weight is struggling to survive since December 2013!!! His wife has started selling their goods to cover the expenses involved to keep him alive in a special room adapted in his house, where he lies like a vegetable!!! The question is ‘Who is better than Who?’ Life can take directions never imagined and amazingly everything can change in an instant!!! No one.and I mean no one is exempt from anything; what is more, Money, Titles, Fame, Success and Power are of no use in any of these circumstan­ces!!! WE ARE ALL THE SAME, SO WHY THE PRIDE, WHY MAKE CLAIMS, WHY THE ARROGANCE, WHY SO MUCH ATTACHMENT TO MATERIAL GOODS??? ALL WE HAVE IS THE DAY, TODAY, SO LET US LIVE IT WITH PASSION AND ENJOY OURSELVES, DOING GOOD, SERVING OTHERS!!! We need to stop creating problems, to stop claiming insignific­ant things and always avoid everything that ‘takes our lives!!!” We need to be careful not to lose someone who loves us and accepts us as we are!!!

Like in the game of chess, in the end, both the King and the Pawn are kept in the same box!!! Isn’t it worth examining what we have and have not done??? We are born with nothing, we die with nothing, but the sad thing is in real life, in the interval between life and death; we fight for what we did not bring and even more for what we will not take!!! So all you politician­s and millionair­es especially, think about living more, loving more, giving more and grabbing less!!! It is a very interestin­g reflection!!!
