Live and let live. The influence of "what they will say"
According to current statistics, in the world there are some 7.5 billion inhabitants, who have different races, ideologies, religious beliefs and even lifestyles, but no matter where in the world we are, we all have something in common; The indisputable right to live life.
Parents are in charge of inculcating moral, human, cultural, and even spiritual values that determine our performance in society, which is necessary to keep us out of chaos, but they have also done a great job in making that little phrase is an important part of our lives to the point of becoming slaves.
The ¨ that will say "has existed in all times, before more than now, but nevertheless until the" generation and "or Millennial, who brag that their style is to live in autonomy and freedom, they have given a new meaning saying" that my friends will say ", becoming Unable to just upload an image to their social networks without looking well at the place where they take it, what is around (not to enjoy it but to show where they are), the search for the perfect pose and of course; there is no shortage of the endless retouches that we have today in the apps to make the best impression possible, even if the reality is another.
What they will say determines the way they dress, whom we choose to love, whether we divorce or not, the places we go, the people who enter our social circle, the school we send to the children, the goods we have, the places where we do our shopping even if it goes out of our budget and sometimes even to the churches we attend. On some occasion I heard saying “There go the coolest people.”
The amount of time spent investigating everything in our personal environment or networks to then criticize, censor or disqualify is huge and the spending of energy that is invested in this would fill the whole planet with light. We move away from the true essence of life every day: The search for happiness, which ultimately is the only thing that really moves the individual.
Every day, species disappear on the planet, there are fewer parks or beaches to enjoy because they are polluted, new epidemics overwhelm humanity, time goes by quickly and even love now has an expiration date which makes everything worse, but while that happens, miss the opportunity to live fully what we still have left to be thinking about what others think.
Let's take the good that our parents taught us and have the determination to live a new lifestyle, one where your voice can be heard saying "No" to what you do not want impose, one where time is invested in enjoying without damaging, where we support without expect nothing in return and observe without criticizing, where you can love without prejudice, one where we do not have fear that they see us as we are and we can let see that incredible person that we are.
I could safely say that the more people who add up to this change, the world will be a better place for everyone.
"Live Your life happy so you will live very well,
if you live you die and if you do not live it too”
