Dedication

I dedicate and thank our Creator for the lucidity and ability to visualize the life and behavior of human beings, virtues without which I would never be able to express to my fellow human beings my personal appreciations on topics of relevant importance in our daily lives. I extend my dedication to all those people who unconditionally dedicate themselves to teaching us how we should live and enjoy life, without so much attachment to materialism.

Foreword

Before making a proper decision; to reach a conclusion; to make a fair and impartial judgment and to become aware of a reality, we need reflection. The content of this work exposes a variety of them, made on a topic that I considered important. The intended purpose is to motivate, raise awareness and comment on a reality that we live. If after reading these reflections, there is a positive change in attitude and mentality, no matter how minimal, I will feel satisfied and grateful. I am aware that there are many negative things that one cannot change, even if one wanted to.

Let us see life in colors

Tears are the expression of crying. It is sometimes the relief of sorrow. Grief is the loss of our emotional balance. When grief is continuous and intense, it sinks us into depression and this in turn leads us to the dark tunnel of unhappiness. Let us be brave and face problems no matter how difficult
