Judgment

Posted on 21:10:00 by Livi Gerbase | 1 scraps

Today, I wanna talk about flaw I have and that I’m ashamed of: I, sometimes, judge by appearance, and that first impression stays for a long time, even if I talk with that person after. However, I want to defend myself. I think that the look of a person, the way he/she dresses like may tell a lot about a personality (or a lack of it). Of course it doesn’t say everything, and it’s not right to make false conclusions by only the way a person is dressed, but some first impressions of mine were right, and that’s what I’m going to talk about.
Nobody can deny that judgment, sometimes, is necessary. For an example, it can protect you from getting robbed or stolen.But how far can we go judging people by their first looks? I think everybody has already made mistakes because they were too worried about security. How can we tell who are the good and who are the bad guys by looking at them?
Unfortunately, nowadays, with globalization and lack of personality, everybody dresses the same. Then, how can we judge by appearance people who dress the same as everybody else? Or even people who dresses different? If that ‘different look’ was in, everybody would use it! Maybe, in the new future, people will use that awkward outfit, nobody can tell.
To sum up, we can’t judge, but, sometimes, we must. (?) You were right, Einstein, everything’s relative, even good judgment. It’s up to us to realize which is necessary and which can block us from knowing the reality.

The blog is giving me problems. I can change neither the place of the text nor the spaces between paragraphs. :) Bye!

Religion

Posted on 23:48:00 by Livi Gerbase | 0 scraps

That’s me, touching in one of the most controversial topics ever. Religion is so polemic that people are dying everyday because they have a different idea about who God is. Even though we are in a materialistic society, everyone has already stopped once to think who God is, or even if they believe in him after all. Sometimes, God just shows up when the person really needs him, like a lost or an illness. For me, it’s not important how they enter; the important is for him to never leave.
Does He care if you go to a church every Sunday or if you sing a little song for him everyday? We can’t forget that we, humans, are the ones who invented that, with God’s intervention on not. Will He really be mad at you if you don’t wear a turban or a veil? Does all this matter? Isn’t the important your soul? Or the good deeds that you realize during your life? Is your place guaranteed in heaven or in god knows where because you act like a religious guy, even though you don’t have any respect with the world around you? (Oh gosh, so many questions, so little answers).
Why religions have to be so separated from each other? Or you are A or you are B, you CAN’T believe in both, or in neither. One religion could compliment other or explain things that the first one can’t explain. The problem also is when the religion is already chosen for you by your country or your family. Everyone should study about all religions and acquire knowledge about them before decide what they’ll believe. The important, when the subject is religion, is to BELIEVE, having faith and hope, and, because of that, have a more pleasant life. For Bob, even love can be a religion.
Some religions were invented by men with some controversial interests, like fortune or society’s alienation. They were created and recreated as the period of history requires. That, for me, is just very, very wrong. But some others have an old and good tradition, and these ones have some truth inside them.
I’ll have doubts if I had to answer which religion is mine. And all this is my opinion, feel free to disagree, and let’s make that an exchange of points of view. Ok, I think that’s it for today.
Namaste

ps: horrible English; it’s midnight, and I’m sleepy and with too many ideas in my head.

Let it be

Posted on 22:40:00 by Livi Gerbase | 0 scraps

The Beatles, in one of their most beautiful songs, sum up my text today: people have got to let it be! Life is much simpler than it looks like (for people with basic life conditions, obviously). One of the reasons life’s good is because you never know what will happen, or how you are going to face a fact or an embarrassing situation. There’s no need to arrange everything or be mad when a little situation don’t follow your plans. Of course some things need to be organized, but the ‘not knowing’ what’s going on is very good as well, just go with the flow or play in the hey. (friends addition).
There are things in life that you just can’t control then. There are not your fault, of mine, or anyone’s, they just happen. Can you control what people think of you, the weather, or the traffic? That’s my point, you can’t. So how are you going to be mad of something that is not you decision?
Things fall from tables or buildings, it rains when you just don’t want to, people keep on knocking you out or gossiping about your best friends and that outfit won’t fit. There’s no need to be mad or angry.
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be :D

ps: Inspiration- two days ago I was really pissed of, walking in the rain, at night. But when I looked to the shy I realized how beautiful the night was (the moon was perfect) and how I was loosing all this because of my anger.

Who are you?

Are you your first name, or the last one? Are you what is written is your profile or you fast description on your diary? Are you the way you act when you are with your friends, or with your family? With your coworkers? Or even with yourself, reading some comic books? Are you the things you wish for, the ones you hope? The ones that you love or that you hate? Are you your likes and dislikes? The description you make of yourself to your friends? Are you the things you say?
Who you are is what you want to be when you grow up? Or when you grow old? Or when you just grow? Are you your ideals, your aims in life? Are you the money you make? The latest wardrobe you have? Are you your family? Are you your personality? Are you your point of view?
No. Those things are not you. Maybe a mix of all those thigs, but it's hard to say. If you think about it, they are just your first name, and last one, your characteristics, your job, your fortune, your preferences, and then it goes. They are not you.
The scientists could say you are Homo sapiens. Besides, for the rest of the world, we are all just stereotypes. But inside you, your soul and your prejudice, do you know who you really are? Cause I don’t.

Recipe for happiness

Posted on 21:32:00 by Livi Gerbase | 1 scraps

There are sometimes in life that we forget how to be happy. So, here I am to remind all of us little things that anyone can do to be happier, and to, specially, upgrade their self esteem. I did some research in some magazines, this is not all mine.

1) Stick to your personality, always. Everyone loves a band that you hate? Everybody uses an outfit that you think it’s horrible? Whatever! Don’t apologize for being who you are. You need to know who you are to love yourself.
2) Change! Your look, your room, your hairstyle. New things bring new energies to your life
3) Remember your achievements. Do you finally got an A+ in a biology test? Al last, you are in a relationship? Congratulations to you!
4) Since you have remembered your achievements, it’s high time for you to do new goals. These goals doesn’t have to be big ones, but something to fight for, like ‘make 5 new friends this year’, or ‘learn how to play piano’. The feeling of achieve something new is amazing.
5) Smile: for your family, for your friends, for yourself.
6) Make a list of your qualities. You can ask your close friends for some of then, because it’s so important to know why you are so special and wonderful the way you are.
7) Spend some quality time with yourself. You don’t need to be alone all the time, but it’s not necessary to be with someone to be happy. If your friends stood you up for one day at the movies, go by yourself!
8) Remember all the people that are in a much worse social position in life than you are. You have food, a house, friends, family, school/job, and so many other things that millions of people in this planet don’t have.
9) Make some good deeds. The feeling of help others is fantastic.
10) Make some new tips! You know things that make you happy, don’t think, just do it!
