About Righteousness
This is a very heart-felt topic to me. I believe that righteousness is an attainable goal, even though it is a hard one. I believe that righteousness should be the principal cause of every action; a beginning and an end. Righteousness is God. When I look for him, I am looking Today, we have discussed a very difficult topic in one of my classes. There has been exposed one of our human weaknesses: selfishness. Thus, a question comes to our minds: Do people only act for personal gain? It seems that this might be a good statement. However, people may also act upon a sense that living in righteousness is good for everyone. Righteousness is formed by a mix of characteristics. Some of them are honesty, obedience, chastity, and diligent work. From these, we can observe an offspring of virtues: dedication, knowledge, perseverance, and clarity. These attributes can be harvested into our lives when we are followers of righteousness.

Running Away
I have started to be aware of something important in my personality. I am a runaway, and I do not feel regrets for it. At the present, I am preparing another escapade. I will go to South Korea for three months. There, I think I will find some peaceful moments on a unknown land.
I feel very scared. I fear my family so much. I really do not want to be around them in the near future. I do care about them, but I am not fond with them. Why? I do not feel safe around them. I feel afraid that they want me to be chained to their whims, and I am not a friend of chains. Therefore, I hope to be less dependent of them in a short period of time. I feel that I will need to run away again if I want to be a true independent person. However, I could just need some time to become the person that I dream of: a successful professional who well serves others with intelligence and have freedom to be imperfect in his own way without breaking God's commandments.
Temptations don't freak me out because I have a personal responsibility about them. I can choose how to protect myself from sinning. However,my parents' entrapment games take me out of my center.They are good parents, but they are too overprotective. They want me to be a cane for them. Nevertheless, let me be free and I will be more than a cane. I will become a virtuous person in whom you can trust forever.
Good Night!

Love Is an Art
What is the first thing that you think when someone talks about love? Is it to be forgiving and to be unconditional? I believe that love is not a sum of parts but a motive for our most important actions. Love is not a set of rules; it is the beginning of the rules, and it is the destruction of all rules. As an end, Love is not as much a formula as it is a utmost feeling of care for someone else.
However, I cannot love as others do. I don't have a desire to overprotect the person object of my love because to protect is not a believing action. I have faith in people's capacities for good. I believe that a person is capable of forging a good future and present for herself and her generations.Then, my question is more about what can I do for someone's independence than what can I do for someone's protection.
Then, love moves mountains as faith do. It takes fear and regrets away. It solves the piercing question: Should I care for this adult person? But Love don't try to protect someone as much as it tries to comfort someone when it falls. Yes, at the end love is about comforting the fallen one.

My First Day Online
Hi Everyone,
I want to be simple. I was talking with some friends and I got the idea of starting a blog. But I couldn't leave this idea to become one more of those futile thoughts.Thus, I am writing here and right now about the little things that I love. In my life, I have been an admirer of nature. Roses and pansies are my friends. I admire how insects and flowers can be such a good couple, even though the firsts tend to be prettier than the lasts. But they work very well together.
Look at me. I am writing a blog and it is my first day in this adventure. I hope this next days and months will be of help to the souls of those in search of happiness. I am one of you. I hope we can meet each other and recognize together the beauty of this world.
Good Night!
