Celebrating Life

A few days ago on the occasion of the death of Nelson Mandela was watching news and caught my attention that showed a group of black people dancing. Journalist says that people are not dancing for the death of Mandela but that they were dancing and celebrating his life. For cinema lovers there's a similar quote that appears in the film Brigade 49 (Ladder 49) where almost at the end of the film is at the funeral of a firefighter and the Commander requested everyone to applaud celebrating the life of the deceased firefighter.

 

 

 

Do not leave me attention paradigm about how change is living death. The traditional is to focus on the loss of the beloved person and in a vacuum that usually stop at the closest.  But many of us repair in celebrate life? I was lucky enough to meet a couple of adults older who have embodied this principle even though some of them are no longer alive definitely are people who took the juice to life enjoying it to the fullest. While it is undeniable that they leave a lack it is easy to meet to remember their experiences and "nonsense". Several of them could behave as a very serious person and the next minute be more immature than a 15-year-old boy.

 

 

 The end of life is just one more step in which we leave a memory that would endure in most beloved people are relatives or friends. Therefore, it is important to not let contact us with those who we care about exit play, going to the cinema, talk to a beer or a coffee. In the end all these activities end up being an excuse to achieve the ultimate goal which is to relate as essentially social people, were not born to be alone.

In several of our cultures probably is not style dance as dancing who held Mandela, but it is important that our way we will be able to take advantage of our years from the beginning until we have to split. While there will be penalty is important to focus on what is really important celebrate life as if we were a child who is experiencing for the first time in the world.
