After watching a series named ‘Homeland’
and the article in which we were working in class the last day, adding the video
we saw and the new one that Emilio suggested, my request is about how we can be
happy. Where is the real problem?
In the show I mentioned before, an
American soldier came back from the Iran war (after the fall of the twins
towers) under suspicion to have been converted into a Muslim as they are. The
problem here is that this man could be a spy and working with the others, a
traitor, I mean. But, after six or eight years living in a very bad way, when
you have lost your faith and someone offers you a hand, clean your wounds and
make you a sense for your life, what would you do? This made me think a lot.
Only later I watched and read this
news it was remained to me the importance to find your own happiness in every
situation. If we had a peek at the time magazine again, we would realize that they
are fighting for themselves. The examples include people who normalize the way they
live. They have a main street where they can buy things, even steal like they would
do in another place. The most impression I had was that these people protect the
area as a real home.
No far away from here we have the
videos about the refugees. The one that was watching in class spoke about a NGO
and the protection that it offers to the children. The link our teacher wrote
in the website lead to suppose more example of this kind of life. In the first
one we could appreciate how a teenager had to lie to their brothers about their
parents. She hoped they were alive, but she told them they were death because
of the protection of a new life for the children. In Emilio’s video, you can
find hope too.. a father tells their children about their grandparents, making them
to see how lucky they are because they are all together. In other situations,
the family is also close, but they are relatives, not parents.
The point is that you can have a
glance not only to the part of the feelings they have, but to the whole. All of
us are trying to build our life as better as we could. Sometimes we have
problems with money, maybe drugs, familiar troubles, diseases, it doesn’t
matter. All of us choose a way to find peace and redemption in everything we
do. So, if you ask whether you can be able to be happy with all this problems
in the world, the answer is yes, of course. You can do that. Just think about
they have found their own way. Happiness is not so far away from any
settlement. When I peer at this kind of news, I feel that I can do something
for them, like give some money, or even go there to set up some tents. In my
really inside, I consider that, more than feel sorry for them, I admire people
who can find flowers into the garbage.
