The seeker

One day a seeker felt he had to go to the town of Kammir.

He had learned to follow those feelings coming from an unknown location itself, so He dropped everything and left. After two days of walking the dusty roads to kammir, He saw the town in the distance. 

Just before reaching the village, a hill to the right of the trail was so striking for him. Was covered in a wonderful green and had a lot of trees, birds and beautiful flowers. The completely surrounding a kind of small polished wooden fence ... A bronze door inviting him to enter.
Suddenly he felt that he forgot the town and succumbed to the temptation to rest for a moment there.


He started walking slowly among the white stones that were distributed as at random from among the trees.
He saw all with his eyes very open, so He discovered on one of the stones, One registration ... "Abdeul Tare, lived 8 years, 6 months, 2 weeks and 3 days." He was a bit startled to realize that this stone was not merely a rock. It was a tombstone, was sorry to think that a child so young was buried there ...

Looking around, the man realized that the stone next door, also had an inscription saying "Llamar Kalib, lived 5 years, 8 months and 3 weeks." The seeker felt a terrible shock.
This beautiful place was a cemetery and every stone a tombstone. All tombstones were similar: a name and the exact lifetime of the deceased, but it contacted the horror, was to prove that the longest lived, barely exceeded 11 years.

With a terrible pain, he sat down and began to cry. The caretaker of the cemetery saw him for a while in silence and then asked him if he cried for a family member.

- There is no family - said the seeker - What's with this town?, What terrible thing is in this town? Why so many dead children buried in this place? What is the horrible curse on these people, which has forced them to build a cemetery for kids?

The old man smiled and said, "Can you calm down, there isn't such a curse, what happens is that here is an old habit. He said: when a child turns 15, their parents give him a book such as this that I have here, hanging from the neck, and a tradition among us who, from there, every time you enjoy something intensely, open book and write on it: on the left that was enjoyed so ... right, how long you enjoy it.


"He met his girlfriend and fell in love with her? How long was this huge passion and pleasure to meet her? ... A week?, Two?, "Three weeks and a half? ... And then ... the excitement of the first kiss, how long did it take?," The minute and a half of a kiss ?, "Two days?," A week? ... what about the pregnancy or birth of first child? ... what about the wedding of friends ...?, what the most desired travel ...?, what about the meeting with brother who returns from a distant country ...? How long you was happy of these situations? ... hours?, "days? ...

So we write in the book the time we enjoy these moments, when someone dies, it is our custom to open the book and add the time of the enjoyed, to write on his grave. Because that is, for us, the only real time we lived.

This story is not mine but I love it, I don't know who is the autor but this story is so good! the first time I read the story was fantastic and now too. I was searching this story for a long time because I forgot the name of story. But I remembered it a few days ago and I searched it. I had make changes in the story because it is a translation, it isn't in english, so to give meaning to story I had make changes. I hope you like it, the story is  wonderful and make you think about your life and how happy you are.

Dead of Osama Bin Laden (News)

Osama Bin Laden Dead 

On Sunday 1 of may, at night, President Barak Obama annunced the dead of Osama Bin Laden, leader of Al Qaeda in a televised address to the nation. His death was the result of a U.S. intelligence operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan. “Tonight I can report to the American people and the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden”, “Justice has been done,” Obama said basically for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.



 I think they just killed Osama Bin Laden to revenge the attack on Sep. 11 of 2001 because they didn't judge him in an international court for all his attacks. I think that it's not justice. Of course I'm not defending Osama but the actions of  US isn't good. But, well... they did it and now the world is a little bit better without him, but Al Qaeda won't stop.

The royal wedding (News)


The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge seal their wedding with a kiss

Friday 29 of April was the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. Like other royal weddings this wedding was so big with a lot of people around seeing the event of the century ( It is what the Britains say).

The wedding stars at 9 AM and all the day was a celebration for a lot of britains. (you can see at the picture)


 

In my opinion this weddings are so beautiful, yes, but are expensive too. With all these important guests, the celebration have to be perfect.

In times of crisis, events like that, have to wait. But well the people is happy and they don't think about money on these days when all the world is seeing this big celebration. There are people who thinks like me, that is expensive, but, of course, is only a minority.

Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan (News)

Map 
On March 11, Japan was shaken by an earthquake of magnitude 8, 9. After the earthquake generated a tsunami alert for the Pacific coast of Japan, Australia, Russia, Philippines, Hawaii, United States, Central America and some South American countries among others.

The warning issued by Japan, announced it expected a tsunami 10 meters high. A wave of 4 meters high struck the Iwate Prefecture in Japan, while a wave of 10 meters high, flooded the airport in Sendai, in Miyagi Prefecture, sweeping cars and buildings as they moved onto the land.

To compound the situation the central Fukushima has been in very poor condition and could cause harm to people by the large amount of radioactivity
It is expected that there are more than 25,000 dead and missing.


In my opinion is that this is a tragedy that those who can should help the country recover faster. The wrong of this situation, which for more than a century that did not happen, is that it can happen again. I'm sorry for all these people.
