Chapter 4

A good life...

As humans we are made of body, soul and mind. If we try to get those things we consider to be important for the time being, such as material posessions, and don't take into account that being able to share with others is what make us humans and make others humans as well, we may regret later on, when we realize that, for example, being rich is not worth if we don't have anybody to share our money with. This issue meade me go back in time for a few seconds. I am at River Plate Stadium now, today is March 3rd, 2007. It's around 11 pm and it's raining, but it doesn't matter at all. I don't care about if, neither do the other 50.000 people around me, because we are watching our's favourite singer concert. So there's Ricky Martin, talking to us, telling us that the song he's about to sing reminds him of the importance of sharing what one has with others. He sais that as he has been in the entertainment bussiness since he was 12 years old, he had to grow up fast, and felt at some point that even though he had many things, and had travelled all around the world and done million of things, he felt at some point that he wasn't living life fully. He had to slow down and think about the importance of being himself and doing what he really felt and wanted, to be in contact again with that child he had abandoned years ago in the search for success.
Here's a link to the the song:
