I want to live
Greetings my dear friends. One of the things that I find so fulfilling in home life is having pets at home, they are beings that need love from our care and at the same time they notice the love we lavish on them and make us feel so good.
We know from scientific studies that have been done that child feel special predilection for some specific animals that brighten their lives in a peculiar way.
I read about a child with autism who loved his chicken. Since the mother brought the chicken home, he felt a lot of love and attachment to this bird. To the point that he started to gain weight because he was extremely skinny, since nothing stimulated his appetite. He did not share with anyone and did not play.
He started to eat more with his chicken and he would feed him, so the relationship grew stronger. He was isolated from everyone and began to socialize because he loved to be and talk with his chicken. Once the mother had to fight in court because neighbors worried about an avian virus did not want the chicken in their community.
Can you imagine all the legal process the mother had to go through to explain that her son started to evolve as a person when he had this chicken in his hands? And that he did not deserve to be subjected to such a situation of detachment that could even affect his life and his growth if he was suddenly taken away from what until now allowed him to be more interactive at home, at school and in society.
My son tells me that he read about a person who decided to take his own life. In a dark moment of his life, he thought that no one loved him and he did not want to continue on this plane. He was already alone in his room on the bench that would help him rest from so much suffering when he saw small furry paws under his door and they were making signs to him to open the door or to come to him.
This person, who was ready to end his life, saw his cat's little hands and was moved by the thought that if he hanged himself, who would take care of his kitten. No one would love him as much as he does, and thinking about this he decided to stay in this world just to take care of his little love, his kitten.
Many times, we only need a small token of love to change our way of thinking. A smile, a hug, an I love you, a good morning with lots of affection makes our smile emerge and we feel like bursts of energy, love and the desire to be happy are secreted in our bloodstream.
Perhaps there are many people in the world who only need a word said with love to stop being pessimistic, negative and with dark thoughts.
We are made to love and feel loved. Love is our engine. A smile costs nothing. It is not that we must have a smile on our face all the time but we can arrive at a place and say good morning with a smile, receive another person with a cordial greeting and a smile.
We do not know who is in need of our good attitude to feel an encouragement and move forward in life. I invite you to smile, to say I love you and I love you more often to the people you love, to your parents, your children, your siblings, your friends, your neighbors and colleagues, say words of love to them and they will say the same back to you.
I love you all, thank you for your comments, votes and visits.

A few days ago I was lucky enough to see a movie called Helen, she suffered a lot and fell into the worst darkness, but when one day she decides to throw herself off the roof of a building she sees a dog. So far I'm going to tell you, I hope you can see it, it is very beautiful. Your article as always very nice to read. Thank you for all your words.
