The Memories of Life, Enemies or Friends?

"There is no greater pain than to remember happy times from misery." - Dante Alighieri Once I was reading a book and I came across this incredible phrase, since that day I have not been able to forget it, because I feel it was written for my current situation, many times as human beings we are not satisfied with the little we have, on the contrary, we want more and more, we let envy take over us and we compare ourselves with other people. Why he could have that and I couldn't. Why he could have that and I couldn't? And so we spend our lives, wasting something as sacred as time, and we do not realize all those wonders that surround us, how the universe has smiled on us with those things that perhaps we see as little, but in reality are worth more than we think.

A few years ago, they were prosperous countries, with problems, of course yes, we all have problems, but they were minimal situations, countries where each of its inhabitants were proud to have been born there, where everyone had a plan, a dream or a goal that involved the country, no one thought of leaving their land, on the contrary, they longed for their family to grow and die there, but reality came, sometimes it is not enough just to live in a country that is rich in minerals, land, size, but in a place that is rich in knowledge, intelligence and learning. And it is there when we understand how unstable and fragile we are, all the dreams, all the plans, go to the void, because that prosperity, little by little begins to end, that abundance is limited, and what you knew one day, disappears, you have to radically change your life.

Because nothing hurts more than remembering that beautiful thing you had, that beautiful thing you lived, that childhood that maybe was not perfect but you enjoyed, and finding yourself with a crushing reality, that without a doubt takes away your desire to see a sunrise or sunset. There is something very true, and it is that nobody learns from other people's mistakes, but we should be more observant and visual, understand that we have to take advantage of every moment that the universe gives us, enjoy what we have, but also understand when we must change places, when we must leave or flee, to continue living, nothing is worth more than life, today the world is convulsed, many countries are on the edge of the abyss, if you can leave yours do it without thinking, life will reward you, do not remember the beautiful moments, the pleasant moments from the misery.
