Have you ever tried to count the positive news broadcast on television? Have you ever stopped to listen to the first news you hear on the radio? Have you ever thought about the number of positive events that surround us and do not cause a sensation? The world grows, it does not just die.
We spend our days surrounded by negative news: the news is plagued with death, killings, accidents, betrayals. In the meantime we forget that the world is growing; we progress and make great strides with science and technology, and along the way we forget to cultivate what matters most: people.
Trees continue to grow, thousands of children are born every day, there are people who help others, individuals who invent things to make our life easier. Still, there will always be a tree that, when it falls, will make more noise than all this.
I continue to believe that there are good people, I continue to believe in supportive people, in people who give without expecting anything in return, in people who teach, cultivate and want a better world. In the people who strive and continue on their way. Although, unfortunately, they won't be taking up more space in the media.
The risk factors are sufficient to contract diseases, not to progress, real dangers to life. And where are the risk factors to be happy? I will therefore draw up a list of my risk factors to keep growing, dangers that if committed allow you to enter the dangerous world of entertainment.
"Risk factors" to be happy
Be careful to be grateful to others, to be grateful for what we have and to feel lucky to be surrounded by everything we want. Pay attention to answering “thank you”, you run the risk of having a smile in response that soothes, a loving gesture from others that makes us feel better.
Another of the risk factors that we can include in the list is to stop, listen, watch and enjoy the senses at any time, be aware of the 'here and now' to capture and savor it. It can lead us to live the reality that we find ourselves in front of and not the reality that we await and fear: an opportunity to be in harmony with our inner self and to feel in contact with it.
We run the risk of falling into the precipice of happiness if we yearn for growth, if we strive to achieve what moves us and makes us feel satisfied. If we continue to strive to be better and progress, if we continue to get up smiling despite sleep, because we will try to make each day a set of moments that deserve to be lived ... especially with joy.
We pay attention to helping others, be careful to see the positive side of everything, not to stop looking for new ways and alternative solutions. Be careful to give love (never be), to make plans in order to have time for both work and fun and for ourselves. Beware of smiling, because our company alone can end up being a risk factor in itself.
Plant the seed and see the world grow
We will continue to cultivate so that the earth does not die, and we will continue to listen and mourn the losses, but that will not stop us from continuing to plant seeds for the trees to continue to grow. Every time someone dies, a life is born in another place in the world, which deserves as much noise as what cried tears do for the person who leaves.
Because even though we hear trees falling more, we know it's up to us to let others grow and bloom. Even though we are surrounded by negative news, we will continue to seek the positive and life in everything that does not die, because it is there and if we make an effort to see it and seek it, "the dangerous world of life" unfolds before our eyes.
If we look closely at life, we will see the risk factors we have described. If we have the courage to take medicine, we are in serious danger of infecting ourselves and infecting others. Do we want to be daring and collect the risk factors to be happy?
