dear son kaue...
yes... once you told me... sometime ago…
that you enjoy reading the newspaper while...
you are eating your little-nice-sandwich during lunch-time…
that’s a very good habit… my son…
it’s a moment… where you can relax…
disconnect yourself from the worries…
and… simply savor your lunch…
distracting yourself…
as you read the newspaper articles that you’re interested on…
I found it very wise the text that you forwarded to me:
…” I saw an article of a person who was saying that
everyday in his life is a good day…
you wake up and see the daylight , this is already a good day ,
you breathe the air , this is a good day…
at the end he says that we complain too much about life without appreciating it ,
because life is too short.
One day you are happily here and next day you are dead…
so enjoy it as much as possible!...”

I also like this kind of wisdom…
indeed… very often many of us forget to appreciate certain basic things…
like… for instance the capacity to have a normal vision…
to be able to see the objects…
have we ever thought about a blind person…
who could suddenly be able to see normally…?
could we ever imagine a better reward than this one…?
or… if a person has serious chronic respiratory problems…
be able to… suddenly get better…
and… be able to breathe the pure air… normally…?
I really liked this newspaper article…
you write well…
it was thanks to your email…
that I’ve been thinking about what you wrote…
not only about the article itself…
( the beauty… the wisdom of the article )…
but also…
your sensibility…
to be able to realize… that the article was special…
that the article was bringing a message of wisdom…
and I… as I was reading your email…
I... became happy…
happy to confirm what I knew already…
that you… taue… is a good guy…
a calm guy…
simple…
who just want to be in peace…
to find your place in the world…
without disturbing anybody…
without being disturbed…
to be able to read your little-newspaper… at lunch-break-time…
to be able to savor an article from the newspaper…
where there exists a message which reveals a regard about life…
a pure regard… of peace… of wisdom…
of gratefulness… for being able to be healthy…
so we can see the colors…
and breathe the morning air…
yes… my son…
from this life… we don’t take too much…
we only leave in the memory of these few people who really like us…
we leave with them… only our tenderness…
our words of kindness and friendship…
and… not too much beyond that…
the sun… like all other stars in the universe…
will extinguish itself one day…
( since the fuel that it burns… is not infinite…)
( it’s going to happen many billions of years in the future…
the scientists already calculated it…)
when this day comes…
our dear planet earth…
will become an ice ball…
( since there’s no more sun to warm her up…)
and… so… there will be no living soul here…
not even to tell the history of mankind…
so… the newspaper article did make a lot of sense:
let’s be thankful each day in the morning for being alive…
for being able to open our eyes and see the daylight…
for being able to take a deep breath… and feel the fresh morning air…
and also… to relate with everyone who surrounds us…
in the most gentle and truthful possible way…
so that… whenever we go to the other dimension…
we can be sure that we left here on Earth…
only good memories…
with everyone who really wants us… truly well…
see you soon… my son…
keep being like that…
you’re realizing what is really important in life…
it’s the purity of spirit…
the peace of conscience…
to be aware that you are gentle and good towards everyone…
briefly… a good man…
a person with a good heart…
I’m happy to know that you’re like that…
because I’m also like that…
and… thanks to this…
I can feel that God protects me…
and… naturally will be protecting you too…
why…?
because you are a person with good heart…
see you soon…
thankyou for your email…
it was very good…
a hug…
tighted…
your father…
